    Why do we build floors? Alternatives?

    I build mine to walk on. I don't just sit at in the boat and troll all day.

    Yes the sand Tan is what I used. I also ordered the dead grass, it's just a shade darker. Dead Grass= Cattail Sand Tan= tumble weed or a sand color. The Parker stuff is AWESOME paint, I brushed it on with 3-4 coats and it is holding up great. I have taken it fishing among trees and it...

    I did some work on the motor over the 4th. I replaced the impeller along with new gaskets for the housing. I also found a place in the carb bowl where a gasket needed to replaced. also replaced the plugs. The old Force motor is running like a top.

    I will also add that the 70lb 24v trolling motor has made a world of difference. If you have a rig like this I would strongly suggest a 24v motor. It'll almost throw you in the water if you have it at full speed but you can fish ALL DAY. I keep it on 20-30% and it works great.

    I still have some things to finish on the boat but it's all little stuff. The boat is basically done and water ready. I burnt up my control board on my tmotor so I had to replace it. All in all I am happy with it. I want to get new motor someday and I'm thinking a 60hp 4 stroke or a 75hp 2...

    hand vs foot

    I have done both and Foot is the only way. I want to fish, not jack with the trolling motor every 5 seconds. The longer you use it the more you get used to it.

    Scored a new to me trolling motor from my buddy. He had it on his 19' Gambler and he said it stopped working after the trolling motor tray filled up with water. He took it off and had it laying in his shop. I asked him about it and he said take it and if you get it working I could have it...

    Good to hear about the Tuff Coat. I'm about to put that all inside my boat. Did you only use the primer that tuff coat makes or did you use metal etching primer as well? Thanks- BTW your boat is killer!!

    Guys, I just received an old boat motor from my buddy. It was sitting in a barn for 2 years. He bought it off a guy who wrecked his boat and this was the only thing left. I currently have a motor that works, that is a force as well. I would like to get this thing in good working order in case my...

    I was worried about the foam. I did some investigating yesterday and drilled down in it in many spots and never found any wet foam. Should I still replace it?
