Got some work done on my boat tralier. Had it sandblasted then i primed it with self etching primer. I then went to walmart and got the rustoleum bed liner. I put 2 coats on and it looks good. Hope to get the bunks on and new rims and tires in the next few weeks.

Got some more work done on the boat, havent had alot of time so progress is slow. I hope to get the trailer done in the next few weeks, then i will paint the boat., Ready to get it on the water. I am going to make the factory livewell bigger, so i can leave more space in the rear.

I used aluminum angle and 1x1 tube. Use rivets to put together. I am going to bolt my plywood down then carpet. I also use 5200 sealant at all joints to help with vibration.

I like it, its light weight and strong.

I also have to figure what i will be using for a livewell before i frame the rear deck. i have looked at RV water tanks, or get some aluminum and cut it to the size i want and get some one to weld it for me????? I am going to start on the trailer next week so i can get the boat back on it.

Almost done with front deck frame. Going to frame front and rear deck then paint the boat. I guess i will prime with Self etching primer and paint with parkers boat paint. How many cans of self etching primer will it take?

My 15 hp Johnson is running great, it cranks right up but after running down the lake a little bit it will die, pump the bulb on the fuel line it will fire up and run again, then die after a little run down the lake, if i keep pressure on the bulb it will do fine, help and ideas?????????????

i know, i think if i beefed up the transom a 25hp on my jon would be fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am from GA thank for the replies, I didnt think it would hurt the boat but one more ? I have a friend what a all welded 16 ft lowe it rated for a 40hp what would be the biggest jet drive you would put on the boat the bigger the better.................
