What speed do you think you would achieve with a 50 horse? What about me with a 10?

So after further review I think it may be best if I just keep my eye out for a good deal on a larger outboard with remote. My boat is 16' with 55" floor width so I think I might as well get more bang.

I think I'll wait on aluminum, I'm not opposed to it at all. I'm really interested in that fiber glass sheeting. I think I'll make my decks out of wood this time. I'll fish it through this coming season then I'll make a decision if this is a boat I'm going to hold on to or maybe move up a level...

Zero hp restrictions. Yeah I jumped the gun and bought 3/4 ply...I plan on making the return trip and buying 1/2" for the tops of my casting decks and floor and maybe use thinner for boxing in the deck for storage

16' flat bottom 55" bottom width. I'm on a budget but not cheap? Not trying to spend a ton but I do like nice stuff. I'm fairly handy, I know my way around trucks and motorcycles but new to boats

What thickness ply wood for decks and floors? 3/4 too thick? Should I lay foam under my for? How's Thompson water seal? How to get the most out of my evinrude 9.9 4 stroke? Ahh...any other helpful hints? Clever storage ideas? Or neat setups? I'd like to hear from you and see what you have. All...

I like your thinking. I was just thinking the center console would be nice to put rod holder's either side and maybe a cooler underneath. But with a side console I can still rig up one side with rod holder's and a cooler underneath. Do you have any build threads of yours or pics?

Why is it so difficult to locate the parts online? I really don't want to pay dealer price haha

So the evinrude dealer would be able to locate all the part numbers I need?

I'm having trouble figuring out what parts I need. If I could figure out the parts I need I'd just shop around. Some one humble me and show me where I can find out how to find out what I need haha

Just started construction on my deck and my floor. Wanting to get it sealed before it gets too cold up here to be using paints and adhesives . What's the best? Did a little research but everyone claims theirs is the best. Wanting to know what real people use. Thanks!

Hmm yeah that's parts and labor. Probably only $500 in parts. Mine is pull start so there is no wiring harness to bother with...just steering, throttle, and gear select. I can do the work I just need guidance as to what to buy

Just bought my first boat! She's a 16' aluminum flat bottom originally an airboat. She has a 2000 evinrude 9.9 four stroke (E10RL4SSF) the boat is nice and wide and I'd like to make a center console and convert it to remote steering. I've read a few threads and everyone says that evinrude is an...
