    why won't my boat plane?

    https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=30830 I did this build a few years ago. Love the boat. Rows great. Stable, yet narrow. Great for motorless lakes. Started hunting the Mississippi River a couple years ago and was a little concerned about hiding my big boat so we hunted out of...

    1968 Crestliner tiger muskie, need opinions

    I have a 1968 Crestliner tiger muskie, all-welded aluminum tri-hull. It was severely butchered as a parts boat but the hull and consoles are in excellent condition. It was an I/O, but the motor was junk. I want to get a swim platform outboard motor bracket and leave the back of the boat tall...

    1987 Lund Predator: Customer boat

I'd like to be using both oars almost all the time and thought there must be a way to rig up some foot-controlled rudder that can clamp on the...

    1989 Mercury 35 manual very hard to pull rope

    I have a 1989 mercury 35 horse tiller, manual start. It is a clean motor. Once it is running, it runs great. It idles down nice and low, has plenty of zip on the top end, and THEN will start on the first pull of the rope. The problem is this. To get it started the first time of the day, the rope...

    FINISHED ! pre 1950 Alumacraft Model B

    I sold my Osagian Missourian and needed to replace it with a small (less than 48" wide) square stern boat for duck hunting and fishing smaller lakes. A guy posted this as a 12 foot StarCraft. Turned out to have 2 Alumacraft tags on it but I had never seen a boat like this before. It measures 13'...
