Found my problem with why it was bogging down so bad. The top coil ground wire was Brocken and corroded.

At least the boat was able to tow in my dads sail boat!

Took the boat up to Alexandria MN this last weekend. It ran great for about 10 minutes then it started bogging like crazy at full throttle. I am getting pretty fed up with this motor. We still got to fish however! It was my sons first time fishing and he had a blast!!! He caught 2 really large...

I am still waiting for my finger to heal up. I planned to get some more work done this week to the boat. I am taking it out of town again this weekend. I am going to remove the front bow mount trolling motor along with the battery and give those to my father for his sail boat. I am not sure if I...

Yeah the motor makes a lot of noise. We caught fish so it wasn't loud enough to scare em away but the guys in the boat made fun of it saying set the troll speed to whop whop whop or whop....whop....whop....whop haha. That is how we would determine how fast we wanted to troll haha.

Yeah the bow mount trolling motor is broken. It works but it has a very loud motor and it will only go forward and to the left when using the foot control. I could not get it to go to the right. It seems to try but then stops. It came with the boat so its not a big deal. I plan to give it to my...

I don't plan to work on the boat for a week or so to let my hands heal. I put a drill bit through my left pointer finger last week and broke my middle finger on my right hand. Thank you everyone for following my progress. I am no where near close to being done. I am taking the boat up to...

boat was rock solid. There are a few things that I plan to change. The front seat is to far forward and I put it in the middle of the boat. I am going to remove it and put in a bench seat like it was when it came from the factory. I also need to move the drivers seat more towards the middle of...

still hurts today but at least I was still able to catch some fish.

Caught 50+ crappie. Kept 28 ( 10-12 inchers) boat has been in the water for 3 days and is bone dry. Motor still needs some work but runs great at full throttle. Half throttle it starts to almost have like a miss.

Pics

I will get plenty of pics and will post back on Sunday!

Seats are in. All that's left to do now is load it up and head up north tomorrow for some quiet time!

I purchased 3 new seats for the boat. I am going to put a swivel seat in the rear and a drivers seat and I haven't decided how I am going to do the front seat yet. I have three different seat mounts that I can use. I have to do some test this afternoon.

Almost got the carpet done. It's on heck of a messy job. I have about 3 feet left to trim off. However my neighbor across the street got a little upset because I was making to much noise. ( time to move back out into the country ) The only thing I didn't get done today was installing the...
