I'm curious how long the wire is from the trolling motor to the foot control and if you can extend this wire easily. Trying to figure out where to mount the seat on my front deck.

Does anyone know what steelflex looks like with no color added. I didn't order pigment. I've read that it's cream colored and I've read its clear/cloudy. I plan on doing the bottom and sides of a 1542 flat bottom. Should I paint first then rough it up? Or is it a solid enough color that you...

There are some rusty bolts on my hull that probably used to hold something but they are now just sitting there looking ugly. I had the idea that I could replace the bolts with rivets. I could get a cheap riveter and 1/4" rivets on amazon for cheap; however, after doing some reading, I'm worried...

Hey Guys! I have a build going over in conversions and it's time to start buying the little things. I need recommendations from you all who have bought these items in the past. For each of these things I want to buy something that will last and be practical, but I also don't need the newest most...

Can someone explain to me or point me towards a thread that explains how to install a seat mount into a wooden deck. Bracing, backing, etc.

Here we go again. Today I picked up a (insert very old date here) Ouachita 15' by 42" Jon boat. I got the boat and trailer for $500 and believe me... it's a $500 boat. haha. It has no title, no serial number, and no leaks... except one. That is the bottom of the transom. I was hoping one of...

It's been about a year since my last project. Some of you may remember the S.S. Bassquatch. The thread was called 10ft Jon Boat Bassin'. I love that little boat, I caught a lot of bass out of it this summer, but I told myself that if I ever came across a 1448 or 1648 flat bottom for a good price...

So in the next year I'll be gearing up to buy a new used boat. I've been looking around and I've come across two options for myself. Keep in mind my budget is $6,000 to $8,000 dollars. One option is buying a fiberglass boat that is 1990's model or older. The other option is buying a new to...

I have a 5hp Mercury Outboard and I am wondering about the best oil/gas mixture. The guy said it was a 2003. The serial number is OT256318. Thanks for the help!

I found an 87-89 9.9 2 stroke Tohatsu for $550. He says it's pull start and electric. He says forward and reverse work great. However, it's missing it's cowling. Can you all tell me if this is a good deal? Will not having a cowling be a factor? If I do buy it, is there a way to cover it...

I have a 10' jon boat that I have trouble unloading from the back of the truck by myself. My neighbor has an old jet ski trailer that would be perfect for my boat. It has been sitting for around 5 years. Before making an offer I guess I should make sure it rolls... What else should I check...

I have a 1032 jon boat that I would like to start taking out on small lakes. It's always been a pond boat and I don't think I have a title for it or anything like that. I know you have to tag any boat that you take on a lake in OK but can I get the tag without a title? Suggestions?

The weather finally got warm enough here in Oklahoma to get a little work done on the boat. Today I was able to get the casting deck cut out for my 1032 jon boat. You can see the whole story in my thread 10' Jon Boat Bassin' in the conversions and modifications forum. I bought indoor/outdoor...

I'm prepared to be made fun of for doing it, but here's my 10' Alumacraft Jon boat to bass boat conversion. I will be posting on this thread as I make the upgrades. 10' Jons don't usually get makeovers because they are less roomy and "tipsy". However, this boat is FREE which gives me the...
