Happy Thanksgiving to all……..Eat up.

Need some water proof boots for launching my aluminum boat in cold fall months when the water is cool. Normally I wear a lace up work boot but when I go deeper than where the tongue starts I get a miserable wet cold feet day. Decided to finally break down and buy some rubber insulated boots...

Show me your Helix 7 mounted in the console area……pics please. :LOL2: Just pulled the trigger on a Helix 7 GPS G4 with Side Imaging with transom transducer for my 16 ft. side console. I’m not sure how or where I want to mount it to the console. I need some inspiration………

I just replaced my bunks because they were rotting. Only 6 years old and used in the salt. They were carpeted PT bunks and I had the LoadRite bunk covers on them. I think that contributed to the rot as they never really dry out being carpeted and with those covers on them. The PT made the lag...

Fastening Kings Starboard I want to put a seat with a quick disconnect on my bench top. I don’t have access to the underside and I dont want it to tear out or oil can the aluminum. I was planning to put 1/2 inch starboard down on the bench top as a reinforcement. I can screw in the starboard...

I have a 5 switch board on my boat. Its the circuit breaker type (no fuses). 4 are used for the boats lights, fish Finder, pump, and livewell. I would like to add a USB port but I also want a horn. Can I run both items back to the the one circuit switch? I would be feeding two wires back to one...

Blew the main gear on a Tsunami Shield 3000 (Bimini Bay brand). They were the hot discussion on some salty sites a couple of years ago. Anyhow, although it was sealed well, everything else about it turned out to be a flop. The main gear was pot metal (aka chineesium) and it didn’t last. It was...

Looking at sw bow mounted trolling motors for a 16 ft aluminum. Is The xi3 made in the USA? I have found online that the xi5 is but nothing on the xi3. I try to buy American first....then look at everything else.

Anybody use the Alumacraft Jon Boat Seat Clamp sold by one of the sponsors A.K. McCallum? https://www.akmccallumco.com/store-seatacess.htm

Im heading to Wichita for my boys wedding. Being from the east cost (northern NJ) I do not have many opportunities to go to BPS or Cabelas. I went to San Antonio a few years ago and got to spend half a day wandering around in the BPS. There is a Cabelas (I have never been to a Cabelas) in...

Does anyone know the width of the Motor Guide wireless trolling motor base? ....or the MinnKota Power Drive...? I am trying to figure out if it will fit on my crowded little boat deck.....

Got a brand new tin boat last week. It's a 16 ft. Duranautic side console. It has a vinyl covered marine plywood floor, a plumbed live well, navigation lights, a bilge pump, and a color fish finder. The finder is not fancy (HB 197C) but it does what I need it to do. All the electric stuff is...

Selling my boat. Need to clear the driveway for a bigger one. Has a Yamaha 15hp 4-stroke that is only 3 years old. https://newjersey.craigslist.org/boa/5740963446.html

Between this sight and some others I have found through Google searches, there seems to be plenty of folks that take covered bow runabouts and convert them into open or casting decked boats. Has anyone tried going the opposite way? By this I mean turning an open aluminum skiff into a covered bow...

I have a Piranhamax 10 portable. The old kind that has a plastic battery box that acts as a carrier. You could wrap the coords around it and it holds 8 AA's I don't remember exactly what year I bought it but I think it was around 2003. I remember buying it in Boaters World on sale. It was...

I took the boat out on the river today. The 15 hp yam really makes it scoot pretty good. https://vid1346.photobucket.com/albums/p685/aae0130/TinBoat/IMG_0318_zpsdk3ciqmm.mp4

My PiranhaMax finder (portable type with 8 AA battery case) is crapping out on me. I don't remember how old it is but it may be 10 years old. I was originally using it on an inflatable boat because it had the suction cup transducer mount. In 2008 I fabricated a more permanent mount for my...

I want to put a floor in two compartments of my 13 foot v hull. Im thinking about just using some birch or oak 1/2 inch plywood from the depot. Because of the shape of the bottom I only need about 16 inches wide by about 42 inches long in each compartment. I won't be leaving them in because I...

Hi from northern New Jersey. Im new here and let me say I am impressed with the modifications and conversions I see on this board. I have a 13 ft. all welded aluminum Duranautic v-hull that i bought 6 years ago. It was a bare hull with bunks. I originally had a Tohatsu 9.8 4 stroke on her but...
