since its only a 15hp i wouldnt bother bolting the motor unless theres a chance of it gettting stolen.

that boat has a lot of potential. i would put a floor in it for sure, but then the rest is up to you as far as little tweaks to get the boat perfect for your needs.

So I'm moving to NH soon and I have a 14 ft aluminum boat that is pretty beaten up. The paint is faded and scratched and is really bad on the inside. My question is I will be using it for clamming and fishing. So it will be exposed to a lot of brackish and salt water. Do I need a certain type of...

you probably won't be able to get on plane with that motor I have a 9.9 on my 14 ft deep v and can barely get on plane.

That paint job is legit. I would like to paint my boat like that

I would be careful putting a 25 4t and a the 9.9 on there b/c that would be over 220 lbs hanging over the back. In rough water that could get tricky especially if it's tiller steer 25

seacast its pourable transom. google it

For the question about the motor it is more about weight than about hp in my opinion. I had a 1032 with a 4 hp evinrude from '82 and it did fine but the motor only weighed about 40 lbs. a new 4 stroke motor that is only 4 hp weighs 58 lbs compared to a new 4 stroke 3 hp which weighs 38 lbs. A...

a 9.9 would probably be ur best bet

i really want one of those crawdads with the aluminum frame to use as a duck boat

Hey I just saw that boat on Craigslist I live in Austin TX also and actualy used to have the exact same boat/ trailer, same year and everything. Where do you use it. I ended up selling mine becasue Lake travis and Lake Austin were just to choppy.
