    The poor man's fishing boat

    Any advice on how to repair this. The back of the boat has a crack on the bottom. Kind of ecplains why after an hour theres 4 or 5 inches of water in the boat. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    The poor man's fishing boat

    Right now its just sitting there. Did a pretty good cut for size. After i paint the inside of the boat it will have some angle brackets on bottom of deck rivetted to the boat and screws through the oar holders into the top. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    It will be easy enough with this trolling motor to rotate it. Will then add a foot switch I found that will be between the battery and motor so I can turn it on and off from my pedestal I'll be putting in up front. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    The poor man's fishing boat

    So havent left an update in awhile as I havent got much more done on the boat. I got the trailer working by running a ground from 1 side of the hinged trailer to the other. Have been fishing the boat ever since. This last weekend we fished 3 out of it successfully, tho it only topped at 11 and...

    Using a smart phone as a Marine GPS

    I'll have to fiddle around next time I try floating my boat to see how sun light affects visibility. Ultimately I just need to keep my eyes on classifieds for a budget fish finder and possibly gps. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    The poor man's fishing boat

    Will be using rubber fittings so metal edges wont be a problem. As I'm on a hard budget I figure using the existing boat instead of running PVC will save me some cash. Will still end up running some PVC in the middle but not much. My girlfriend and son are back from a trip so my progress will...

    The poor man's fishing boat

    Trailer is hinged so we will be running wires. For the electronics on the boat I was curious if I could run the wires through the gunwale. I'd have a hole drilled in the back, one drilled in the middle and a hole drilled in the front. These would be for the rear and front navigation lights...

    The poor man's fishing boat

    I'm thinking it may be related to the trailer having 2 parts as it has a swivel in the middle for easy launching. -- Today we decided to just toss it on top of a jeep and take it out for a test run. Our first attempt we launched into a stream by a dam that leads to a lake with no other access...

    The poor man's fishing boat

    What I noticed on the lights is if it my test light to the ground on the connector while the cable is completely unplugged, I get power through the light. Thinking a bad crimp in the connector. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
