Has anyone used a CMC BA 130 on an Alumacraft 1648? The boat is riveted, and I wondered how it will hold up with the transom after the set back. The motor is a Tohatsu 30hp 4 stroke. Any advice, experience or feedback would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Im looking at getting an Alumacraft 1648 MV NCS with a 25hp Tohatsu on the back. Both would be brand new. The boat will have the factory floor and the Tohatsu is the 3 cylinder with T&T and the 2.17:1 gear ratio. Anyone know how this setup would work with 3 people in the boat plus duck hunting...

So last year when I was doing my build, I goofed and put the hatch on the wrong side of the bench. I installed it on the top on the left side, now I wanna move it to the other side. I was wondering if I took the hatch out and mounted a 1/4" aluminum plate across the whole top would that be...

I had a question for you guys and gals concerning waterlogged foam, I'm thinking of pulling a trigger and buying a new Xpress 16dbx and after reading reviews it seems like all the Xpress boats have the waterlogged foam problem and it's got me a little concerned. My question is how long would it...

Anyone ever rigged up a flag pole on their Jon boat or just put a flag on the stern light? I wanna put a flag up on my boat and was wondering if and how others have done it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know of a good aluminum welder in east Orlando? Or anyone near here mind helping me out one day? I'm trying to get a trolling motor bracket welded onto the bow of my boat, and touch up a few places that I drilled some holes into for past modifications. Sent from my iPhone using...

So quick question, I just installed a hatch in a bench seat and removed about half the foam in it. I know I have to replace that foam somewhere which I did under the floor inbetween the ribs. When I ripped the foam out I tried to keep the bigger pieces incase I needed some more, question is can...

What brand of switch panel so you guys have on your boats and do y'all have any pros and cons of them? I'm about to start the electrical work on my tinny and want to do it right the first time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have a question that seems so simple I'm making it to hard, anyway if I install some nav lights that you plug in and take out once your done using is there a need to put a on off switch in the line since they will have constant power and when you pull them out of the bases the lights off...

Hey guys I started my build a few months back sorry for the delay. I've got a Lowe 1448 mod-v and I wanted to make it more user friendly for fishing while also still be able to hunt out of it. Here she is before I got started, sorry it's the only picture I have before I got started with the...

So I wanna add about 8 to 10 inches of deck to the back bench to give it a little more room for fishing. I already have a sheet of 1/16 of aluminum that I can use for it, but I know that it's not that strong. If I were to really beef up the underside and really put a lot of braces up underneath...

In this video in the link I'll post here https://www.catfishedge.com/floatation-pods/ The guy talks about having them so he can get into skinnier water with his boat, I like to fish for bass and bream like this and get way back into skinnier water. Would this help my boat since my stern sits...

So my tin doesn't have a place to mount a TM on the bow unless you either buy a bracket and install it or make one. I know I can buy a bracket that is for my boat and now my problem is mounting it directly to the boat. Would it be better to A. Get a welder to tack it on or B. Rivet and bolt the...
