Thanks mang!

They look like this: Keeps everything nice and tidy as well as batteries sliding around all over the place.

Thanks man. I did measure to make sure the batteries would fit. I would like to use those cool battery boxes but I didnt think to measure for those... hopefully they fit but I know the batteries fit at the very least.

I did run into one problem... I wanted to put a big hatch over the back to hide the batteries and gas tank but the steering "arm" (the piece that attaches to the outboard from the steering cable). At this point I guess I am going to have to leave it open back there but my goal was to have it...

Small update...had a lot of rain this weekend so not much time to work. Got the rear deck and floor finished. Nothing is nailed down yet so its a little crooked in the pics but that will all straighten out when I screw it down.

Nice console! Sent you a PM.

Floor foam will be installed and maybe some side foam as well if I can fit it in. I dont have it in the pictures but at this point nothing is screwed down yet so I plan to add it before I am finished. My boat didnt come with a console at all. It had the throttle and steering wheel mounted...

Got the front deck and hatches finished up this weekend. I have a sub floor in but I dont like it being two separate pieces of wood so I am redoing it but you can get an idea. Still cant get the outboard running...

Its a 25 hp Evinrude on the back. She will crank when I give it some gas but wont idle. I am hoping its as simple as a good carb cleaning. The vertical support is a pain, but the seat is going to be mounted right above it and I would worry about the stability without that support there. I...

When I was just starting college, I got my first aluminum jon, a 12 ft Sea King v hull. After college, I got a 20 ft Nitro bass boat. I decided I didnt like either one of them. One was too big, one was too small. Finally I found the boat of my dreams...a 1974 Fisher marine 1542!! I wish I...

Yeah for one piece its definitely not worth it but if you buy 10 pieces then it works out pretty nicely.

I know a lot of guys use aluminum angle for their deck framing so I figured I would share...

Nevermind I think I found one! https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVINRUDE-SIMPLEX-JOHNSON-OMC-DUAL-LEVER-OUTBOARD-REMOTE-CONTROL-BOX-pre-1979-/120920342019?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item1c2769fe03&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1413

Yeah I have been on there for a couple weeks and nothing so far. I was hoping for a modern kit that would fit or something.

The boat I bought came with a 25hp 1975 Evinrude but the gear shifter on the remote control box is broken. I have checked several parts sites and the universal control boxes are all 1996 and newer. Does anyone know where/if I can still get a replacement for an OB this old?

For the frame, should I just use pressure treated 2x2 or 2x4 and slap a coat of waterproofing on it, or is there a better kind of wood I can use?

Thanks thats the kind of tips I was looking for.

Sounds good. I can drill the top of the decking to my seats. For the flooring I guess I will just have everything measured EXACTLY right and get it as tight as possible.

I have a 12' v hull about 48" wide. Pics here (https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10071) I was going to just leave the decking in place without any attachments, but I wanted to be sure that the decking wouldnt move around when I walked on it or driving down the road. I have...

Planning on putting some decking in my jon soon, but one thing I cant figure out is how to mount the frame to the aluminum. I could stick a few bolts in there, but drilling holes in the aluminum makes me a bit nervous. Any way to mount the decking frame to the boat without putting holes in my...
