Great boat ramp story - yes I was the boat ramp idiot yesterday here's my story. Keep in mind this my brand new boat and trailer, about the 5th time I'm putting it in the water. Took the day off of work to go fishing. Beautiful warm winter day for fishing, light winds. Excited! I get to the...

When your done putting away the leftovers go ahead and seal up your adhesive :) After vacuum sealing into the freezer it goes

Happy to say I recently picked up my "dream" boat after a lot of research and a long long wait for it to be ordered and delivered. I call it my "dream" boat because this is the boat I imagined myself owning if and when I retired, but the Lord has blessed the last few years and I was able to...

My new Alweld boat came with a wonderful factory installed transducer mount. Only issue is it isn't wide enough for the standard Lowarnce bracket. Looking for ideas on how to mount the transducer. Options I've considered is adding material to make the mount point wider, but that might create...

Seeing what happened to that duck boat in Missouri makes me not want to rip any foam out of my boats. Looks like the poop hit the fan quick without time to take action. I fish a smaller lake and feel pretty good about getting to shore within minutes, but I have gone out in the calm morning...

Looking at new boats, was totally ignoring flat bottoms in favor of mod-v but now I'm thinking a flat bottom will provide a lot more room and the ride difference is not substantial compared to a mod-v. I fish small lakes, and I stay home when the weather is bad. I do go in steady wind, mainly...

I'm in buy mode looking to upgrade to a bigger boat. I like the looks of the 1648 Marsh but the front deck seems small. Hard to tell from pictures though, does anyone have any experience with this model and can comment on the front deck and anything else they like or dislike?

Looking for fish finder mounting ideas for a tiller steer boat with nothing in front of the back seat but open floor. Any ideas?

Board in my Lowe Rover Jon (L1440M) rotted out. Replacing the board would be a monumental task requiring popping rivets and weld. I'm not sure if I'd get it back together again if I took it apart to replace the board, so I had my brother-in-law make me a U shaped bracket out of thick aluminum...

Anyone experienced this problem (see attached photos) where transom is caving in where you attach the motor. Was fishing and noticed the motor was loose so when to tighten it down noticed the problem. Is this something I can just live with or will it need fixing? (Sorry pics loaded sideways...

I need to replace my bunks but not sure how they are attached to the trailer? Has anyone done this and know what type of connector is used so I know what to expect when making the change. Thanks!!

Been trying to figure out how to get three people in my smallish 14 foot jon comfortably. I have an older son that likes to fish with me but now his younger brother wants to go fishing too. I have my battery placed in the "middle" to balance the weight when I fish alone, and also knew this is...

Has anyone had issues with the newer fish finders and their very large transducers kicking up a rooster tail when planing, giving you a good soaking? I had an older Garmin that had a large transducer that did this, switched to a Lowrance with smaller transducer and no more rooster tail. I want...

Been thinking about upgrading my fish finder, however it seems the latest FF have very large transducers. I have a 14' jon with 25HP, when I had a Garmin unit (old model) with a large transducer it would kick up a rooster tail and get me soaked when on plane. I switched to a black and white...

Has anyone installed driftmaster rod holders using the Li'l Pro 213-B (see attached picture)? How did you like them? Can you adjust the way the rod holder points? Seems like you screw it in and then it just points in one direction no adjustment. Also, you can buy right-handed and left-handed...

I have a Lowes 1440 'Rover Jon' https://www.loweboats.com/2013/jon-boats/l1440m-jon/ I've fished out of it for a few years and just lived with standing/tripping on the ribs in the front because I haven't figured out a good way to put a flat floor in due to the mod-v. I don't want a deck, just...

Hi Folks, I want to fog my motor for storage over the winter. The motor is a 2007 2-stroke 25hp. The manual says "Spray fogging oil alternately into each carburetor or the fogging hole of the silencer cover, if equipped." I've taken the motor cover off and looked, but I can't tell where...

Today I fished for about 4 hours on Shearon Harris Lake near Raleigh NC. I didn't catch a fish - no didn't even get a bite, but it was a good day of fishing because I learned alot! It was windy - very,very windy. Spent more time dorking with the trolling motor to keep positioned than anything...
