I run a '81 Lowes 12ft Sport V w/ '86 Merc 9.9hp with a hydrofoil. The hydrofoil reduced the time to plane to nothing. The only downside is it has a tendency to snag stumps but they are pretty cheap and easy to replace. War story, snagged a stump and lost one side of the foil and was still able...

Thanks for all the advice.....That was pretty much what I figured but just curious. I don't tempt gravity or mother nature when it comes to weather or weight. With its small size I try to keep it close to shore if not on it (we have plenty of jet skis and wakeboarders that keep it pretty...

Sorry for the delay....Been building a driveway. Here she is..."Put the Plug In"....Sorry for all the extra photos. I haven't figured out how to take pictures with my phone... I bought her last years spring for $1000....Boat,motor,tm and trailer. She's a 1982 12ft Lowe Sport V. Current value...

I am enjoying the retirement life on a central Texas lake. I have a 1980's 12ft Lowe V-Hull Sport with a 9.9hp Merc. (w/ Dolphin Planer). I have modified the boat by removing the center bench and and installed a short post seat and added storage boxes along one of the sides and added flooring to...

1982 Lowe Sport V with some modifications...........

I'm running a foil (dolfin? sp?) on my 9.9 hp Merc on a 12ft Lowe Sport V and it works great. The only thing is that it becomes very roll sensitive on plane.

How about "Put the Plug In!" That way you will always have a big reminder every time you unload........

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was thinking. I will experiment with it this weekend and provide my findings w/ pictures (if able) on Monday. I plan on trying a couple of different locations. I will use the handles on the transom and a I-bolt w/carabiner in the oarlock and then lastly I...

I have a 12ft Lowe V-Hull with two loading handles on the transom. I was thinking about running a 7ft T-Post or a painting extension handle through the hand holds. I feel the T-Post would be more solid but would add additional weight. The paint handle can be extended more but loses rigidity...

Don't mention to hijack but I have been researching and there are a ton of diy projects for a shallow water anchor. But I have not seen anyone using T-Post. I have a 12ft Lowe V-hull that has a set of handles on the transom and I was thinking of running a 7ft t-post through each of the...

Has anyone ever considered or attempted to make a gangplank for a 12ft V-hull? I need to design a way to enter or exit the boat from a dock that is approximately 6 inches or higher than my gunwales. My wife is a real trooper that loves to fish but unfortunately has a bad leg and can not get...
