I’m not one to complain but ****, Saturday morning pretty early I walk into my local HD. I have something I previously purchased there and I need to match it up. So I walk up to the return counter which is to my immediate left as I walk in the door. I just wanted to let them know I have...

I absolutely love this boat, Its not a tin but It’s just a beautiful boat, sexy as hell. 300HP pro max, I’m thinking she scoots pretty good…………………………….. :mrgreen:

The pros and cons of repowering above the manufacturing max HP rating. This has proven to be a hot topic for as long as I can remember and we don’t have any reason to believe that’s going to change anytime soon. It doesn’t seem to matter which side of the fence you’re on concerning this...

Anybody have E-Z slide pads on there tin boat trailer?

Buy it or build it? I know that’s kind of a skewed question considering this is a boat building sight. It’s not always a dollars and sense question though. Personally I couldn’t touch a comparable fiberglass boat that will get me as skinny as my build for less than $20,000 “the key word...

A man is walking along the beach in California and fines a bottle in the sand. He picks it up and opens it. A Jeannie pops out of the bottle and says to the lucky man” I will grant you one wish and one wish only so think about it carefully” The man says to the Jeannie well I love the...

Is this cool? I’ve owned a lot of coolers in my lifetime but I’ve yet to own one of the roto molded coolers like Yeti, Engel, Brute and alike. I don’t need to keep ice for five days when I camp/fish it’s seldom more than three days. But I do like the idea of having a tuff cooler that I can...

Where is everybody? Ok what I mean is, it would be cool if this sight had a map that we could post our location on. I’m not a website designer by any stretch of the imagination but it couldn’t be that hard could it? I think I am the furthest member to the south of the contiguous 48. I’m in...

Ok who thinks this would be a good idea and would attend if it was centrally located and you were given enough notice? I think Tin Boats.net should arrange and sponsor a yearly Tin boat get-together. Maybe one centrally located for you all in the Northern part of the US and another one for...

With the daily commitments of work and family my free time is very limited so I try to use it in a way that’s both constructive and enjoyable. Often times that does not include watching TV. However there are those times when I just want to veg in front of the boob tube. Even at that it has to...

A high profile hotshot lawyer from New York City was traveling through the south. He was driving aggressively and not coming to a complete stop at intersections with stop signs. A South Carolina State Trooper observed his aggressive driving and his failure to comply with traffic signs and...

Help me name my boat. I’d really like to have a name that reflects the kind of fishing that I do, which is predominantly on the flats. Mostly shallow water or as we often refer to it as skinny water. If my name was Hal I might name it “Shallow Hal” but my name is Dave so that’s not going...

Are you stern heavy? How much weight is on your stern? I’m running a big motor because I have it. I’m installing float pods to help with the heavy motor and to run and float as skinny as possible. The motor is 400 lbs give or take a pound. The electric/hydraulic Jack plate weighs in at about...

Ok I started working on my Lowe 1752. My 1448 is almost completed and I really wanted to get started on this project. This is going to be a total rebuild starting with the transom. First things first. Strip her down and do a little clean up.

Ok I have a question for the egg spurts :lol: I have a 1999 Lowe Roughneck 1752 that I am going to be repowering. I bought the boat and trailer without a motor. Ok here’s the thing. The boat and transom are rated for 50 HP tiller or 80HP with a console. An 80 HP2012 Mercury four stroke 20...

Greetings everyone. This is a really cool forum, I feel very fortunate to have come across it. I have two projects right now. The first one is a 1448 POLAR Kraft Jon that I am finishing up. It’s a pretty cool boat but I wanted to find something a little bit longer, a little wider all welded...
