Anyone know what this is? Listed as a duracraft. No title but listed as a 19' and had a 90hp on it..... Listed with the trailer for $800 but would have to go through the BS of getting it titled..... Just want some info if y'all know.

I take that as a compliment!

By "Bore Cleaner" I meant that I used the spray tip off of the aerosol can. Bore cleaner is used to clean the inside of a gun barrel. It just happened to have a very fine spray. I just use that fine tip on the regular camo paint cans and spray fast streaks across the surface to be painted. Maybe...

I don't have the flat space on the front..... I wish It would work Baitcaster. I have the old Landau boat with a round-ish Gun Wale all around the front.

I'd like to make a simple mount to be able to take on and off of the front of my Jon Boat for my stern mount trolling motor. This is what I came up with. Does anyone have another (possibly simpler) idea?

Yeah..... I was very happy with the little motor I had, just wasn't fast enough. I'm still waiting on the transom plate to get welded and I'm planning on starting to wire the boat this evening with a buddy. I hope to give it a test on Friday in the river. I'm hearing I should see close to 20mph...

Thanks! Its been fun working on her and still have a ways to go. Prolly gonna do an aluminum deck after this duck season (weight & durability) The carpet, It's from Lowe's it's pretty cheap too. Not their cheapest but the next one to it. Good color and has worn well so far.....

Nope.... I just put a Khaki base coat and then use a different spray tip from a can of bore cleaner and swipe across whatever I'm painting very fast..... Not the best camo but works for me....

New Update! Sold the 13hp Long Tail and picked up a 23hp Long Tail. Here are a few before and after pictures. I'll take some more pics this weekend. I'm finally wiring some lights and hopefully making an adjustable trolling motor mount.

I/4 carpet - 3/4 starboard..... Works like a charm!

Does anyone know the dimensions of this? There are a couple of aluminum places around here that I could probably just buy the channel and drill it myself and save some bucks. TH Marine's website says it's 3/8" thick but can't find anywhere online that gives the dimensions.

Is this the jack-plate you are talking about: https://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=JP-4FA&um=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1920&bih=1075&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12886628096688729612&sa=X&ei=VIQdTvvnOoqcgQe0vpDrCQ&ved=0CE4Q8wIwAA How does the "Flat" bottom handle at speeds of 40mph?

Reedy, how fast did you say your Jon went on your thread? I wonder how a flat Jon handles speed..... I'd bet that 50 would go 50! Lol that's slow in my bowrider but prolly scary in a John. My boat says home made on the title but it is a lundau. I just have a mud motor on it.

There is no plate on the boat it's "home made"..... It'll handle the weight because the mud motor I have on it weighs 170lbs.... It's the power that would be the 'sinker'! Honestly what are you guys thinking?

I found a 1993 Johnson VRO 50 with a tiller that a neighbor has that he said he would sell me for $300!!! I know it's a little overkill but if I get the transom extra reinforcement and take it easy on the throttle it'll work right? It's a sturdy boat with decking (weight)..... It's a long shaft...
