I just picked up a 1967 MonArk 1448. There’s loads of bondo and JB weld on the bottom of it. Decided to tackle one issue at a time with it, and took it to the welder last week. Had ground off a lot of Jb weld and had appropriate patches welded in place where needed. Brought it home and filled...

Hello everyone, I've owned a 6hp johnson for years, however I recently purchased a 2000 Johnson 9.9. I don't have much experience with upkeep or protection of these because with the 6hp I generally didn't care. The motor was cheap, and it ran well. However, with the 9.9, I spent quite a bit of...

Hey everyone, thought I'd share progress of my most recent build. Sold my last boat, the 14ft v bottom. With that, I learned a lot, but I didn't care much for the shallow V versus a flat bottom, and with the sale of the boat and trailer, I about traded even for my current boat after purchasing...

I have a 6hp johnson, mid 70s. Pull start, basic 2 stroke outboard. I'm actually the (recent) second owner of this, and the original took very good care of it. However, it sat mainly the past 5 years, with only 5 or so uses annually since the purchase of a larger boat by him. In purchasing, he...

Hello everyone, I have a small 14ft boat that I recently put a nice deck on, sort of like a bass boat. Until lately, I have only used this boat on large private ponds. Now though, I want to rebuild it to make it better for public land hunting and fishing. In doing so, I thought I will do this...

I had an idea today guys... So I built my boat recently with a wooden deck and have recently decided to scrap it. Despite sealing it with 3 or 4 coats, I still will remove it for Duck Season to rebuild it in a manner more conducive for my hunting purposes (rather than Bass fishing). Also, I...

I guess it's time to start a build! I have a 14ft shallow V with a 6 horse Johnson motor. Boat I'd a 1972 Montgomery ward Seaking and motor is a '77 seahorse. The trailer has no identification, though I doubt it to be homemade. I got this all for a steal, as I got it from the original owner and...

hey everyone, question, has anyone ever used aluminum for decking their jon and welded it? I've got access to someone's skills that welds aluminum professionally, and he said he'd weld anything on the boat I need, only charging me scrap price for the aluminum used. My idea for this stems...

I've searched the web and their website, I can't figure quite where to buy steelflex 9x-2000 at? I'm looking to cover the bottom of my 12ft boat with it, and gluv it inside. How much do you think I'll need for the bottom also? Lastly, how do I go about coloring it? I'm just wanting black for...

Hey all, I've only ever fished from shores until recently buying my first tin boat. Anyone ever fish these lakes? Such as nimisila, west branch, or berlin and mogadore? Specifically I'm targeting walleye, but I love crappie too. Not looking for trade secrets, but more so what lakes may be best...

Hey all, just bought a boat today. Spent 950, and it came with a decent trailer, the boat, 55lb TM new battery, 2 seats, minn Kota battery box, and whistle lol. Pretty excited, as I had a beat up 12ft I loved, yet hated. This one is a correction of all I had wrong in that. I'll be posting pics...

Hey all, I'm looking for an aluminum boat and found a guy with a 16ft blue fin deep v he'd sell for 500 bucks. It's in great shape surprisingly other than the floor being rotted. 1988 1606 superhawk is the model Anyways. I intend on fishing from it, all season but using it mainly for duck...

Hey all, I've got a sea nymph 1248 from the late 60s. Bought it for 350 last fall with a trailer, but the trailer is just a flat home made trailer that some guy built to haul his atv a while back. I'll be converting this to a boat trailer, as I have the tools to weld and the scrap metal laying...
