Bought a Halo 7'6" rod today to try to learn to flip....do any of you use them?

Well I have had this Lowe Hustler for several years and wanted to fix it up, so I decided it is time finally. I have been collecting parts that I hope might work. First off big upgrades already done. I traded around and ended up with a 95 model 40 HP Evinrude with T&T to replace the 77 Model...

Not a tin boat, but I have not seen this before take a look. I wonder what brand boat it is and if it is worth restoring....might make an interesting boat if you lived on the lake and did not have to haul it too far. https://huntsville.craigslist.org/boa/4646114502.html

Guys, the carpet on my Bass America 15 is glued to and edges wrapped around the aluminum panels. The panels are then riveted on. This makes it fairly easy to remove panels and run wires or whatever and then re-rivet the panels back in place. I will try to post some pictures later today...

Switching motors on my old Lowe 16' fishing boat and when I hooked up the new motor to the steering it will not turn as far to the right as my old motor. How do I adjust the cable on a rotary gear box? I know how to do it on a worm drive, but this is my first rotary to deal with. Thanks.

I am contemplating a upgrade from a 35 hp to a 40 hp motor, both are 80's models and the 40 hp seems to be in good shape. I would actually buy the 40 and then keep the 35 for a back up if I ever needed it. I have a 16' x 48" Lowe with aluminum decks and steering rated for 55 hp. Do you think...

Guys my starter ear broke off on my 35 hp johnson and now I only have 1 bolt holding the starter, any suggestions? I don't have any experience welding cast aluminum. I do have a Miller mig with spool gun and can weld aluminum with it fair, but have never tried any cast aluminum. Should it be...

Finally got my latest project out on the water today it is a 16'x48' LoweLine Hustler. I had several issues to work out, but the one right now I am trying to figure out how I want to fix it is the it was leaking at the drain plug and I had it as tight as I could get it. When I got it back on...

I need to mount a couple of seats in my 16' Lowe Hustler which has an aluminum floor from the factory. I am thinking toggle bolts. Any other suggestions? Where can I find stainless steel toggle bolts at a descent price? Thanks, Flintcreek

I bought this boat several months ago and have been fishing out of my 14' flat bottom while I tried to get the motor going. Not done with the motor yet, but bought a fiberglass seat base for the passenger to ride on and and a adjustable pedestal like the one up front for the person in back to...

I bought a 16' Lowe Hustler with a 35 Johnson motor 1977 model not running a couple of weeks ago. Finally got around to starting to work on it this weekend, cleaned the carb. Cranked it up and it goes dead. Ok, choke it, the motor will hit a lick but not start, let the choke off and it will...

I have been stripping my 14 x 48 flatbottom in my spare time all week, should be able to have the outside ready to paint in about 1 hour more. I plan on using the self etching primer and believe I like the color good enough. What do you think about just leaving it with the self etch primer and...

Guys, Academy Sports has the ABU Garcia Black Max rod and reel combo on sale right now for $40.00, what are your opinions. I am currently using 4600 c3's and a 5600 c4 but wanted to try a low profile and lighter rod and reel combo and the budget is tight right now. Is it worth the money...

This Tinboat thing can be addictive....up to my 3rd tinboat now, not sure the wife knows there is one parked behind the shop (shhhh). Just bought this one last weekend. It is a 16 x 48 1978 LoweLine Hustler with a 1977 Johnson 35 hp. The boat seems to be in good shape. Transom is strong and...

I used 3M spray on contact adhesive on my carpet when I did 4 or 5 years ago. I bought mine at Advance Auto Parts. I would think a auto parts store could help you...just make sure it is water proof glue.....Sorry I could not be of more help....Flintcreek

My brother went out this morning for a short trip. His motor messed up on him, looks like maybe the power pack...no fire either cylinder. Anyway what looked like a bad morning turned out to be a good outing. He was trolling back to the boat dock and noticed some fish on his depth finder in...

I have a 1981 Johnson 35 hp and it is cutting out at wide open throttle. Have found out that if I pump the bulb on the fuel line every 15 seconds or so it will run without cutting out. I believe it is getting air from somewhere. Any ideals. Runs at low speed just fine. Things I have done...

Bought this Sea King a few weeks ago with the intention of mounting my 18 hp Johnson on it and selling it to generate a little money to fix up my 14-48 flat bottom "Starcraft". My 16 year old was needing a little date money a few weeks ago so he got the trailer ready to paint and tore all of...

Got to go out last Friday with my Brother, my 2 sons and a friend of theirs. On the Elk River which is a tributary of the Tennessee River. We had some fun, the Catfish were biting and then we tied into some Stripe Bass.....it seems fishing is red hot here right now. Great day...Hope the...

Hope someone can help I wanted to update my profile, but have not been able to figure out how. Joined a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed following everyone's boat builds and customizations. I wanted to update my profile and then hopefully post some pictures of the 14'x48" Starcraft build...
