I took my 2.5 year old fishing today for the first time... he did great, but got hot so we had to fish in the shade which really limits my options. So I'm looking for a 4 bow Bimini. ~60" beam. 54" or so tall. Who has the best deal out there? Thanks

I have a 2009 Honda four stroke 20 hp manual start that was bought used with low hours. It has performed flawlessly, other than being a little cold natured (take 3-5 pulls to start first time). I always have run non ethanol 87 with marine stabil added. It unfortunately sat for three or four...

I'm almost ready to paint. I've got some bare aluminum that has been sanded with 100 grit and then some with pre existing paint in pretty good condition. This is all inside the boat, not painting the outside. I picked up two cans of rustoleum self etching primer today. How much will one can...

I am making my hatches by making the frame from 1" aluminum square tubing, and then pop riveting a skin on top of that (same way my deck is constructed). I had planned on using nylon webbing (seat belt material) and doubling it over, riveting to the back side of the tubing to make a pull...

I've scoured the site but I'm not finding a whole lot of pictures to give me ideas on framing up a semi v front deck using all aluminum. Does anyone have a good link to modifications done that shows this? I've got the floor and back deck framed, but I'm stumped on the front. Thanks!

I'm starting to cut my 1" square tubing to fit the ribs and I started thinking about the possibility of aluminum on aluminum rattling. I'm going to rivet it down, but do I need to do anything else? Was thinking about a piece of rubber gasket material or maybe a dob of silicone?

Anybody have a source for cheaper hatches? Good grief they are expensive for some molded plastic.

For those that have the offset 3/4 pin pedestal posts... Do you like them? Not sure if the extra plane of motion is awkward or not. Threaded vs non threaded? Seems like the threaded would get to a certain spot and you can't move it anymore.

So let me state first I'm not 100% sure I need a jet, but I figured this would be the best place to ask. I'm wanting a setup for my local river. I'm thinking something like a 1648 jon. The stretch I want to fish mostly is narrow... maybe 15 yards across in a lot of areas. Average depth is...

As we small boat owners know, weight distribution is extremely important. When I have two people in my boat (me + 1) I am happy with how she rides. However when I'm solo, it is way too stern heavy. I'd like to set up the battery to be at the stern for general use, and be moveable to the...

Has anyone ever used this in a build? https://www.patriottimber.com/plywood-lumber-products/sureply-underlayment/ It's 1/4" thick and uses exterior rated glue. I know the 1/4" would need plenty of support, for walking on, but let's say you had plenty of foam and framing to allow for...

I have a 500 series Humminbird. The transducer is mounted off of the transom, and the head unit is mounted so I can see it from the helm. . What I would like to do is use a secondary mount like shown at the link below... this way I can move the head unit to the bow when fishing from up there...

What's everyone's take on this? Obviously the vent needs to be open when you are running the motor, and it would be good to keep it closed for trailering. However, depending on temp, it swells/contracts pretty drastically. For example, I went out on Sunday which was a hot, sunny day. Closed...

Does anyone use these type seat bases for going faster than 5 mph (full speed)? I thought I had everything figured out for my layout but if I cant use this type that will change what I need to do. Any similar alternative that has a pretty much flush mounting plate left after post removal that...

I have two seat bases that came off of duracraft seats. I'd like to buy some of the track to mount in my boat. If I'm reading things correctly, the duracraft track is is meant to go on a square edge bench seat. My bench seats are rounded. Will the duracraft seat bracket fit into any other...

I bought a boat used that had been sitting for several years with this motor and took it out for the first time and had trouble with it. The guy said he pulled apart the carb and cleaned it, but did not rebuild it. He put in new plugs and a new gas line and primer bulb. When I looked at it, he...

The boat I bought (14' v hull) came with a 40 lb thrust minn kota. No breaker or fuse is installed as far as I can tell. This the original series powerdrive motor that has a foot pedal on a long cord. The battery was located at the back of the boat. I just purchased a used motorguide with 55...

I currently have a Humminbird 597 HD DI with GPS and a navionics chip that I will mount off of the transom. I am buying a used motorguide with a built in transducer for the bow. What I had planned on doing was buying a cheaper humminbird model to mount up front to use with the trolling motor...

Well, I believe I have myself a boat lined up for purchase! Should be getting it this weekend. It's a sears gamefisher. 13'8" long and 63" beam. I need to get a battery for the trolling motor. I'll be using the trolling motor a good bit trolling for striper and crappie. I've seen several...

Looking at two different boats..... How would a 1442 flat bottom Jon compare to a 14' semi V with a 47" bottom width?
