I am getting ready to fab my console out, and would like ideas as to shape, size, etc. I built one out of wood and filler, but the extreme heat un der the cover has already shrank everything up and it looks like crap after just a few weeks. I am making the new one out of fiberglass resin, so...

Does anyone have a clymer or OMC repair manual for this motor? I bought a seloc manual but it does not cover lync and sync. I bought this motor after being stored for the past 8 years, and tore carbs apart and cleaned. After starting, it will not idle or stay running. I think it needs the...

Well, the boat is pretty much complete. I am going to paint it next year after this waterfowl season ends. It will have a Max-4 camo pattern stenciled onto it. The motor is a 1988 evinrude 40hp. I got it at a steal of a price! The paint was extremely faded on the cowling, but the motor has...

Havent you bought enough boats with problems? Or just havent learned your lesson yet after the first 2? lol

Has anyone from Ohio had to get a title for a boat that didnt come with one? I recently bought an 18' boat and got a bill of sale with it. It came from a fly fishing shop that the guy owned. The bill of sale is an actual receipt from his business. When I called the title office they told me...

Got all the carpet glued on the decks and compartments. I also cut the compartment out where the console will go. I originally was going to put a tiller on it this year, and then upgrade to a remote steer next year, but the tiller didnt pan out so I am going to get the steering cables for my...

I would say I have added about 150-200 pounds. I trimmed down what was originally in the boat, so it probably only has about 50 extra pounds in it compared to what was in it when I bought it. Water sealing and carpet is next!!!

More updates! I have got a lot of work done on the front and rear decks. The front deck is complete, and the rear deck is almost complete. I have the lids all cut for the compartments, and will start putting water sealer on tomorrow. Any comments good or bad are welcomed! Side shot of...

Got some more work done on the boat today. I got the floor put in the side compartment and the main floor cut. I also got the tubes glued in the rod locker. Hopefully I will get to work on it more tomorrow. I also found the carpet that will go in the boat. Got a really good deal for it...

Anyone have a manual for a 63 johnson super seahorse 40hp? I need the OEM starter number. Bought this motor a week ago, and the starter was removed a few years ago, but they never replaced it. I have no way to find the current part number without knowing what was originally on it. Thanks for...

One questions for everyone. Where should I measure from on the transom to figure out my shaft length on the motor? Should I go at the center where the short tunnel hull is or come off the sides where it is the true height? Probably a dumb question, but I'm not sure where I should measure at...

found a few more pics of the boat before. First is of the seat near the stern. They had two 3/4 plywood sandwiched together making a really heavy seat. That and the PO used about 1,993 screws to put it all down (didnt want it to blow away!) Next is the bunk guide missing on the passenger...

I just boat the same exact motor. Hopefully I can find the controls and cables for it.

I made up a couple batches of goose jerky this year. Already ate most of it. lol I have some more goose breasts in the freezer, so I might make some more this week.

Dont worry buddy.......hopefully we will be fishing out of it in a few weeks. Thanks to Russ010 I might have found an alternative to putting carpet down on the decks. Might go with the hydroturf 2nds. Really like the looks of it, plus it would allow me to clean up easier after waterfowl hunts.

I am putting in a smaller console that will go through the frame. I plan on using the aluminum seat I cut out to make the console. Probably wont put the console in it till next year, so I am putting storage all the way around for now. It will be easy to cut out where the console will go when...

I am putting a side console on it, so I decided to cut the middle seat out and put compartments on the sides. middle seat out: Framing for the side storage and floor braces: The boat had no spring when I cut the seat out. I used angle braces to attach the runners on the floor...

I have been looking for a boat to fish and hunt out of for a year or so. I knew what I wanted, just had to be patient until the right deal came along. I had a buddy tell me his friend had an 18' semi-v for sale. Talked to him a couple times about the boat, and was a little nervous about it...

I shoot an 08 Hoyt Vectrix. Thing is a screamer! Deer never hear a thing!

Thanks for all the replies. I will do more and more hunting out of it as I find better hunting spots. It will have just as much use fishing as it does hunting. I was going to look at a 19 footer, but thought about what the price would have been for the blind itself and decided against it...
