So I’m running an Alweld 1448LA with a 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke. I have a Atlas micro hydraulic jack plate. 3 blade SRA3 prop. Boat has manual trim tabs welded on from the factory, but the boat still porpoises on occasion when entering a headwind, making running a hassle due to having to stop and...

Decided on a Alweld 1448 for a stable fishing platform for 2 people. I decided on the flat bottom to maximize room inside the boat and improve stability over the V front. Here’s the blank slate that I started with

I have the newly redesigned 2017 Yamaha F25 on a 1448 Alweld. I am not completely through the break in period, but at WOT I’m turning 5800rpm and going 27-28mph. I put a hi-jacker jack plate with 6” of setback. The boat has trim tabs. I am currently running the stock 9&7/8 x 11&1/4” aluminum...

Alweld 1236 SS is a perfectly laid out boat for my needs. 0.080 all welded aluminum with a respectable sized front deck and open floor plan. Perfect for my solo fishing trips or bringing a buddy. I will use my SeaArk 1872 for big water adventures. Well after waiting 3 months on my boat to be...

I am in the process of rigging my sea ark with controls that came off of a bass boat (the flush mount kind). I don't know if they will work on my center console. I may have to buy a binnacle or side mount control box to make it work for my application. My question is, which control box will work...

Well... after having just about every size tinboat out there, I have finally found a SeaArk superjon. Its an old NC wildlife boat that was auctioned off at a surplus sale. They used it to shuttle fourwheelers across the sound to the outer banks. its seen a lot of use but its still a good boat...

I have a 1648 sea ark flat bottom with a 85 Johnson 30hp. Right now I have a 10.1x 13p SS prop that turns 5950rpm @29mph with just me in the boat. I have a 24v system up front for my riptide 80 as well as a cooler to store gear. It jumps up on plane fine. I am trying to decide if I want to go...

So I picked up a 1985 30hp Johnson on craigslist the other day and it didnt come with a prop. The boat will be a Alweld 1652 flatbottom with a dry weight of 380lbs. I want to order a SS prop and the selection to choose from is very limited. I was looking at the Solas NEW saturn because the price...

I want your honest opinion. I have a 1236 alumacraft w/ pods and a 15hp evinrude and it gets 22mph. I like to fish places that are 20 miles away from the boat ramp and it takes a long time to get there with this setup. I was thinking about repowering with a 25hp Johnson or evinrude to to get...

What kind of fuel economy are y'all getting out of your outboards? I have a 1236 Alumacraft with pods and a 88 15hp evinrude. I haven't calculated the fuel economy yet but was wondering about how far I could go on 3 gallons at WOT (6250rpm 22.2mph) ? Anyone want to make an educated guess?

I was changing the lower unit oil on my 15 evinrude today and before I could get the bottom screw in, quite a bit leaked out (not sure of an exact measurement maybe 30ml?). I had the top screw in and was using the screw in pump they sell at Walmart. I put the screw in just as fast as I could...

1236 alumacraft 2010 model with no leaks or damage besides one dent on the side/bottom from pulling over a log. I was thinking about using Gluvit to coat the bottom to add a little strength and thickness just in case i hit a stump or rock one day. My question is, would you add this to the bottom...

has anyone ever heard of/done this to a boat to add strength to the bottom of the hull? I was researching different ideas of adding strength to the bottom of my 1236 and came across this idea. Seems to fairly cheap and easy to do, just wanted to check here and see if anyone has heard of/done...

just trying to get a general understanding of the durability of the riveted model boats, specifically the .053" hulls. I have a 1236 alumacraft and want to get a general idea of the strength of the hull because i run in shallow areas with lots of logs. Of course i dont run wide open in known...

My setup: 88 15hp evinrude on a 1236 alumacraft with pods. I have 4 gallons of fuel, safety gear and a battery. With a few fishing rods and tackle, the boat runs 23mph with just me. That's decent for a 12' but I like to go fast if I need to out run bad weather or running late for a date lol...

My neighbor and I traded boats and here's what i ended up with: 2011 1236 Alumacraft with pods and a trailer. What i traded: 1985 Sears 1231 in my signature +$300 When i got it, it was painted the ugliest rusty brown and camo i'd ever seen. I wired it up and added seats and a big all aluminum...

Model E15RCCS Got this motor the other day on craigslist for $450 and it runs flawlessly. When I put it on my boat I noticed there was about 1/2" of play when rocking the motor front to back. After researching on the net, I came to the conclusion that the motor mount is broken. I have read how...
