    Sylvan offshore project

    Following. This boat has soooo much potential!

    Ready to begin my build. Looking for a bit of advice.

    Extend the deck. Remove the center section completely, you will have plenty of storage under the front deck and rear deck. Plus build rod lockers down both sides of the boat. IF the floors will be under the front deck/rear deck, do them first. If not, it doesn't matter. Although the floor could...

    Best Battery for my Buck?

    I have two group 31 Duracell Deep Cycle batteries I use for my trolling motor. Love them. Thinking I need to replace my starting battery this year and will replace it with the Duracell.

    1997 Sylvan 16' Back Troller Select complete remodel

    Well, I decided to make a few more mods. This time I am adding t-slot channel around the gun-wale. This turned into an event. I want the ability to more rod holders, drink holders, tool holders around the boat as needed. Didn't like the idea of drilling a bunch of holes to add brackets and...

    I guess I have a different experience with e-fuels. I fill my tank up in the fall, add oil and Stabill, let it sit all winter (November to March) and run that tank of gas all summer. Fill up again for the winter and repeat. Only time I burn more than one tank of gas a year is when I make trips...

    Transom is corroded

    Couple of comments. I have used POR15 on a gas tank. We bought a used S10 Blazer for my son and the gas tank had rust holes about half way up the tank. We dropped the tank, cleaned it up best we could, then followed the directions on the POR15 stuff. Worked like a charm and took care of the rust...

    1989 Bass Tracker TX17

    just about anything abrasive will strip them. Some require more elbow grease than others. If the glue is solid, you "could" glue to it, however your carpet will show every detail (wrinkle, line, etc.) that is under the carpet. Best to strip it down.

    Any reason to NOT move batteries forward?

    I had my group 31 under the bow deck and moved it to the stern. The added weight on the bow made the boat bow heavy, even on plane. Now I have 2 group 31's at the stern and she still site level. As for the charger, you can splice in longer wires. I did, I left the charger under the bow and...

    Boat carpet question.

    Yes, I used the Menards carpet on both my boat projects. First one I used contact cement, the last one (16' Sylvan Deep V) I used the carpet adhesive Menards sells. This is the version I use...

    1985 Bass Tracker refurb

    Looks good so far. Might want to reconsider a white interior. On bright sunny days it will reflect back in your eyes making it difficult to see into the water. Tan carpet is nice, however it shows everything.

    I'm in Awe

    I've got a stretcher I have been dying to try out. :mrgreen: There are some nice builds for sure. I keep my build updated to changes I have made since the initial build. There are a couple of things I would have done a little different. 1) made the command center below the side rail so I...
