I bought a 70's model Johnson 25 HP. I got it with a short shaft and long shaft parts, but neither were on. The previous owen had removed the lower unit to replace the water pump, but never did finish it. The water pump is all out and i have the brand new parts. My only problem is, i didnt take...

Is it just as simple as putting the axel on the top of the leaf springs? Right now, its on the bottom, and i'm looking to lower it. It was made for 8" wheels, and i put 13" on it to save the wear and tear on the bearings. I do a lot of traveling with it, so i wanted to larger diameter tires...

I'm looking at putting down alum sheeting for the floor in my boat. I've got the foam cut and level with the ribs on the bottom. So the floor will set flush on the ribs and foam. How thick of sheet metal should i go with? It will be well supported by the foam and ribs, but i'm not sure how think...

I just got a new to me boat and trailer. The trailer is galvanised and i was thinking about painting it. Would there be any downfalls in painting it? I'm just not a big fan of the look of the galvanised trailers. It looks dingy and dirty all the time. i've tried to power wash it, but its just...

I just recently picked up a new to me 1470 Grumman Mod V. There is no support under the front part of the boat. There is only a roller up there, but as wide as the boat is, i dont think its enough. Its actually kind of dented the bottom of the boat. I saw a couple pictures on here, but was just...

I did a search, and didnt come up with much. I'm in the process of getting started on my boat mod. My boat is an older 17' Crestliner, and i'm totally gutting it and starting over. Right now it was a coverd bow, with the steering setup up front. I'm looking to uncover the bow area, and make a...

I have to take my 17' V bottom boat off of the trailer to work on it over the winter. My trialer is too long to fit into my garage. What can i do to keep the boat setting stable enough to be in it to work. The back is pretty flat, so i can just set it on a 4x4, but how can i support the front V...

I just picked up a Yamaha 40 hp this evening, and looking to maybe get some more info about them. Does anyone have a good web page resource for the Yamahas? I've never owned one, but couldnt pass up the deal. I have heard they are GREAT motors, so i'm deffinitly excited to get it in the water...

I'm going to be starting to round up parts for my boat trailer here soon. How do you guys determine how long your bunks should be?? I have a 17' v bottom, and want to make sure its got plenty of support. This guy will be making many 100+ mile trips to Lake Erie and back, so I want to make sure...

I was wondering if i would cause any problems with making my transom shorter. I'm in need of replacing it, and have found a GREAT deal on a short shaft motor, but i have a long shaft transom. If i was to build it back as a short shaft transom, what kind of problems would i encounter, if any...

I have a 17' Alum Crestliner boat. Its rated for up to an 85HP motor. My question is, how well do you think a 40HP merc would push it?? I'm not looking to break speed records, just like to be able to cover some ground, and get off the water if the weather turns bad. Its not going to be anything...

I have a Crestliner that i am slowly working out. I'm REALLY wanting to open up the bow of this boat, to make it a little more " fishing friendly ". It has alum covering the bow now, but i'm wanting to open it up. I have a pic, and you can kinda see what i'm talking about. Will it cause any...

I'm looking to add a console to my boat project. How do i go about adding the steering?? What all is needed? I'll be starting from scratch, and never had a boat with a console, so i'm not sure how it works. How do i know what i need? I've found a couple of motors that come with controls, but...

I'm looking to do away with the remote setup on a new boat i got. I'm wanting to make it into a tiller setup. How does the HP differ from one to the other, or does it?? I've saw some boats are rated X hp for tiller and X hp for remote. How does it translate?? I'm assuming the boat's rated HP is...

I just picked up a new(to me) boat and it has one of the trailers with the coil spring type suspension. I was wondering if these are good trailers?? Pulling it home, i really didnt care for it much. I've only ever had leaf spring susp. trailers before, and these ones seem to move A LOT more than...
