Check out my build I have detailed info there and it now had 1 season of fishing on it and its like the day it was painted. My build id here https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10823

I was thinking it time once again to post some info on my build here. So after thinking about what to post I have decided to make it like a boat test report. First off the boat was stable on the water even with 2 people fishing out of it. The front deck is large enough to stand on and fish...

Well the project got put on hold so I could spend some time on the water fishing out of if. Everything works, I like the layout and the front deck is great. The boat is stable while standing and fishing off the front deck, it runs out at 21mph with the 16hp Suzuki clocked with GPS. I will be...

If your looking at my jack plate be sure to look at it on the finished picts the first one caused water to splash back into the boat, I fixed that problem by making the vertical leg shorter and cut a 22.5 deg miter cut on it. If you want more photos and measurements of mine let me know. I...

first thing that came to my mind was a wakeboard tower but I bit my finger and didnt post first reply.

I just added more photos of my build. I will let you know how the raised front deck works after the weekend.

Well its almost done, I think... All thats left is the front seat / base, some trim work on the carpeting, trolling motor and a few other small things to tie up. Plan is to take it fishing this weekend without the front seat for a shake down run. Here it is now and I will try to post some...

Welcome, I have the same boat as you, my mod is almost finished check it out.

Well my truck is almost paid for and my project boat is almost finished. So it will soon be time for a new boat. I'm considering a new 201 RiverPro and was wondering if anyone here has one or knows someone who does. I fish the Mississippi in centeral northren Minnesota so a shallow runing boat...

Check out my build I have info listed there as to the paint process. see page 3 of the build https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10823

I have had a few PM me asking what I used for paint, so I thought I would post it here. Step 1 was to wash the boat. 2- removed all old paint with wire cup brush and drill. 3- clean the boat a 2nd time and wipe down with a paint prep automotive product. 4- sprayed with self etching primer...

The black gooo / glue is windshield urethane, holds 600lbs per sq inch and dampens any vibration. If using this method be sure your tubes are clean, I hit all my joints with an 80 grit grinding wheel and wiped with a paint prep. Also be sure to set your drill clutch so that the screws are not...

Well its been a bit since my last update, and they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I have posted some photos of the build. In the next week I would like to get the interior of the boat done and have it ready for the water, depending on the work schedule. Would be nice to have it...

What was the condition of the battery? as voltage drop the amp draw will increase, but the CB should trip if it is overloaded. I would look at heavier going to a heaver wire.

You can try contacting John at Boat Works in Little Falls MN. If you goggle it you will find a phone number. Larson Boats are made in Little Falls and Boat Works restores old boats and has a museum of old boats so he may be of some help.

You said that when you poped the caps off the battery you have it looked like tar, I think what your seeing is the lead plates that make up the battery. The level in the battery should be above them, adding distilled water is the correct thing to do. One of the causes of this would be...

It's best to install the circuit breaker within 6" of the battery, the purpose of the breaker is to protect the wire from overheating and starting a fire if it would short to ground wire or your TM short out internally. If you have an RV dealer in your area you can pick one up for 5-6 bucks.

I have a 14' and removed the center bench seat in mine, I have photos of the mods done to strengthen the hull here is the link to my posts on this site. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10823 If you have any questions hit me up.

BUSTED.. You got that 100% correct, it was good to have a few wind storms around here last fall so I could come up with some junk arms for boat framing.
