I posted this on Mean Chicken, thought I'd post it here too with the number of guys running Jets now. I have a 2010 Lowe Roughneck 1655D tunnel hull powered by a 2008 Mercury 90/65 jet outboard. I recently went through and replaced the floors and decks in .080 aluminum, and used 1.5 x1.5x.125...

Got another Big 2072 in the shop, Customer wants the side console removed and a new center console located on the front deck. New switch panel, fuse block, Binnacle controls and all new rigging. Started on it last night, got it ready to take the floor up. I'm hoping there's nothing stupid going...

Some of you may remember the mod on one of my personal boats the "HEAD HUNTER", If not I'll bring you up to speed. The boat is a 1755 Lowe roughneck tunnel hull, supporting a beast of a Mercury 90/65 2 stroke jet outboard. This thing is a rocket and running 6" of water is no problem. The...

Haven't been on here in a while, had a ton of boats come through the shop early fall, got real busy, kinda slowed down alittle, Only have 3 boats outside the shop LOL! Thought I'd post one of the bigger Jobs I'm working with now. Customer brought me a 20/72 SeaArk with 115 Yamaha 4 stroke...

Been Looking for a good solid all aluminum Split windshield Hull to build for a while and came across this jewel last week. She's a little ruff to say the least, but has a lot of potential. My son and I fish a lot of Catfish Tournaments here in North Carolina and our current boat is a Modified V...

Got this boat in the shop this week. Its a 1760 Lowe Roughneck, guy wants to convert the 90 h.p. yamaha prop to a jet drive, so we got to raise the transom 5". Dissassembly went smooth, found no transom issues, Got the riser truss built, and the transom skin cut. Both risers are built, hopefully...

I posted this over in the conversion page but figured it draw more interest over here. I bought this boat new in 2010 Its been a real good boat, we've done alot of fishing out of this rig, and with everything eventually you got to upgrade things. Last year I had to do some work under the floor...

So I've had this boat for 4 years now, bought it new in 2010. We fish for big flatheads down here, having to cross some skinny water to get to some of the best spots. Boat has served me well over the years, its plenty fast, and is one of the shallowest running jet boats on the river we fish, did...

Hey guys been a while since I've been here. Well it happened, I was at the dock one saturday, and a guy ask was the Madd Catter for sale, Well if the moneys right it is. His offer has my attention, and before I knew it I sold the ole girl. Good boat, had fun building it but I am on to new and...

Man and his wife are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, From the time they were married the woman had a hope chest that was forbidding for the man to go into, he decided after 50 years he wanted to find out what was in it, after some prying and pulling he finally got it open, and inside...

I don't consider myself a troughy hunter by no means. We do manage our property to grow good deer, and I have let alot of small bucks go over the years, but I have been deer hunting all my life, and have some great deer on the wall already, but This past Saturday my bar was set alittle higher...

Does anyone know how to obtain a new capacity and h.p. tag for a boat. I Have a 17' 1989 tracker that I'm working on and I dont see one anywhere. The boat was modified before and it may have been removed then. I live in N.C. and I would like to install this plate on my new center console when...

Been watching you guys for a while, thought I'd give everyone a peek of what I will be working on this winter. It started out a 17' pro 17 bass tracker, and was modified before, but I intend to do it right this time. This is a rivited hull, and it does have some leaks in it, but that will be a...

I have been trying to make up my mind on what motor I want to put on my boat, and I still have not made up my mind.There is not that much diffrence in the price, but I am looking at the performance side of things. I want the most top end I can get, but I still want to watch the weight. The 70...

What can I use to fill the dents and scratches in my hull. I plan to paint this boat soon, and would like to know what you guys have used or heard of being used. I'm not worried about the fine scratches but I do have some very noticeable dents in the lower portin of my tracker that I would like...

Will the ping of one transducer interfere with another. I want to mount another depth finder on the boat, and will probably mount the transducer right beside my other, is there any problems with that? I have an eagle on there that I trust very well, but it is not gps ready, and the other unit is.

I have been reading a lot of topics here about painting jon boats, which I will be tackling this coming fall. A couple of years ago I converted my 89 bass tracker pro 17 into a open center console, mainly because my son and I do alot of catfishing in the rivers around home. I removed a lot of...
