looking for suggestions for a new boat to restore, older or newer, doesn't matter. What does matter is hat whatever it is, me and my two old fishing buddies don't have enough room in my 15' deep vee any more....not to nimble. We only fish small lakes and the missippi backwaters, so I was...

Anyone happen to have a picture of, or better yet one for sale, an original bow handle for a 1967 Crestliner 12' Sportsman? my new in progress tinnie needs one! Going into the water for a leak test and a run test with my project QD.. ....No leaks, back to the shop for the QD..doesn't...

I am in need of some replacement decals for my 1967 Crestliner 12' Sportsman restoration project. Have searched the internet for hours but can not find. Anyone out there that can help? THanks in advance, Kyle

Has anyone ever seen a design for a boat mounted set of trailering wheels? I only live three miles worth of backroads from my go to fishing lake launch. I was wondering about ditching my trailer for the short ride and just having a hitch mount of some sort at the bow of my 12' tinny, and...

I am looking for an Alumacraft R7 12' fishing boat. I believe they were made mid '60's through mid 70's (??) I am happy to pay outright or I have a collection of smaller vintage motors to trade as well. Any help finding one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Kyle Anderson...

Not sure where you are located, but I have a very nice 11' Starcraft here in Wisconsin. Have pictures if you want. Kyle Anderson [email protected]

I am (besides being a little late to the conversation) extremely impressed with the creativity of the work on this boat. Being a retired mechanical engineer, I am particularly impressed with the "field" engineered from available stuff motor. Done a few things myself that generated more than...

I am looking for a source for a used pontoon log. My homemade pontoon gained more weight than projected....so now it will become a tri-toon 😕 Diameter not critical, condition also not critical...as long as it is repairable. Craigslist and internet search didn't turn one up....at least...

Need met. Thanks,

Looking for a parts motor to scavenge electric start parts from to use on my 25102S project motor. There may be other years that the electric start parts are interchangeable with. I would be interested in those as well. If you can help me out here, you have my gratitude. Thanks, Kyle

The picture with the plywood is how it was when I bought it. The other two are as it is now; looking at the bow from the stern, and the other picture was taken as I was trying to bend an aluminum sheet template around the curve of the gunwales (if I am using and spelling the term correctly.)...

Does anyone happen to have a circa early 60's Blue Star aluminum fishing/utility boat? Mine is missing the bow plate/cover. Mine is missing whatever it should have come from the factory, and I would like to restore my missing bow plate to something similar to that. Or, maybe someone has a...

OK, now I am really broadening my horizons...Evinrude or Johnson 25, '69 or newer. Thanks again if you can offer an assist. Kyle

Looking for a 25 HP Evinrude preferably '69 but will consider '70-'72. Tiller, short shaft, manual pull start. Any help or leads with my search are much appreciated. I have been looking far and wide, but so far I have been looking in the wrong places apparently. Found a few at boat dealers...

Yes, and rereading my post I wondered what I was asking for as well! Thanks for battling for the confusion, and thanks for the lead. I'll give them a call. Regards, Kyle
