    Packing up the boat for moving cross country

    Soon I will be moving from NNY to GA. Ive done my two years in this tundra, now its time to go to benning. My current situation will force me to put the boat in the 26' truck. My plan is to break down the trailer which is bolted together, strip the boat down to bare bones, build a solid stand of...

    Bow trolling motor mount with help from DrNip

    Here is the welded mount with thanks to DrNip for taking his personal time to help me with measurements and such. 8x14" of mountable surface which should provide just a tad of wiggle room for a Xi5 mount.

    Co angler up front, trolling from the back

    Having a tiller drive outboard tends to have one more comfortable fishing off the back of his own boat and putting the co up front. With that being said, does anyone have evidence of a successful instalation of a bow mounted trolling motor on the transom? The benefit would be the stronger power...

    Padding battery box

    Hello All, I am currently replacing one of batteries that sits up front in a 14' flat bottom. I went with a interstate srm-29 and a new noco gen1 onboard charger. It powers a 30# transom troller and a 898 humminbird. I also have a optima red top as a starting/tilting battery in the back. My...

    SI ducer qustion

    Figured this would definitely be the place to get some input on the mounting of a bird 898 hd si unit on a 1442 flat bottom. (I just picked it up new from HB for $799 btw) Should I mount the "all in one" ducer just like my old 2d one? I have a small pvc rot free board with two sealed...

    Tilt setting in between

    I have a 20hp thtsu on my 1442. Runs great and fast but hits the rev limiter at WOT. I can't really afford to fork up for a prop right now. When I set the angle of the motor, one setting is a hair inward and the other a hair outward. Which would be the lesser of the two evils on a flat bottom...

Just a for now boat. Also I have a huge roll of 10GA wire I aquirred. Not sure what the max amp rating of small lights...
