I believe that a bottom width measurement only applies to a flat bottom john boats. For istance I have a Lowe 1236 (12' long 36" inches wide). Your boat is a deep V so you will not have a simple number because your boat is curved or angled.
I have been looking for a gas motor for my Lowe 1236 for a while now, with no luck. I finally saw the motor I wanted but it was attached to a boat. I emailed the guy and asked him if he would consider seperating the boat and the motor. He told me sure and "to make an offer"...I hate when people...
I have a Lowe 1236 and it is pretty much perfect for me. It is rated for up to a 10hp motor. I normally fish with another experienced person with no problems, and on the off chance I am alone it is small enough to load and unload by myself.
Like the title says I am beginning a mod on my Lowe 1236, I would like to find a place to buy inexpensive hatches? Or at least a decent cheap idea for hatches. Thank you very much for any advice you can offer. I will get pictures up as soon as the mod begins!
