    9 1/2 Evinrude question

    I have a 67, 9.5. That little motor has been extremely reliable. Got mine for free out of a shed. Stored for years. Changed plugs, impeller, and cleaned the carb. Fired up on 3rd pull. Now, she starts on 2nd pull every time. I love mine. Always starts easy, sips fuel(from a 60's standpoint)...

    Fish Finder on a Tracker 1036? Other questions

    I use the humminbird fishing buddy. Works great for what it is. Basic depth with contours and bottom hardness. Very easy to use. No wires to run and can be positioned anywhere you want nothing permanent. With that said I'll be upgrading this year, but not because it's a poor unit.

    That color is great! I thought about using the same dark forrest green instead of the red, but in the end red is what was used.

    72 Mirrocraft deep fisherman 14

    The boat only had 2 small leaks from screws the PO didn't pay attention to. I drill the holes out to an even 1/8. Used a hardware special marine epoxy, rivets and washers to seal the holes. Worked like a charm.

    what size trolling motor so you have?

    27lb minn kota transom on a 14ft mirrorcraft deep fisherman. For lakes it works just fine for me. If wind picks up speeds 1 and 2 are pointless. Same goes for rivers. Some day I'll up grade to a 45 or 55 but for now it suits me just fine.

    Finally got the outside finished printed and new decals installed. Pretty pleased with the build so far. Still a couple of decisions to make. I need some sort of storage box to store docking lines, safety equipment, and other misc items. Also gonna start on electric box. Only want a 12v outlet...

    It's a sterling tilt trailer and the PO put a deck on it. Still scratching my head on why, but it is still solid so I figured I would leave it. There is old sign of the hull scraping the wood. My guess was when loading or unloading. Rather it hit wood than a steel crossbar. That all I can think of.

    Got a productive day in today. Got final coat of paint on. Cleaned up crank wheel. Made new bunks. Finished lights. Attached small storage box and made bracket for lisence plate. All in all a good day. Now that the trailer is ready for the road it's on to finish the boat.

    Finally got some more free time and good weather to start working on the trailer. Pulled boat off and put her upside down on a set of saw horses. First thing first, remove lights, wiring, plate and crank. The trailer it self was in better shape then originally perceived. Aside from wire wheeling...

    Well finally decided to post my most current project. I have always been a big and fast fiberglass boat guy but was getting tired of the time spent on the cleaning and maintenance of it. I told myself no more carpet to scrub. No more scrubbing fiberglass. No more 4mpg big motors. Picked up a...

    13.5 flat botton jon mod for catfishing

    They vary is price depending on features. The best is the down imaging model. Cats hug the bottem mixed in with log jams and boulders. You won't see fish. Use it to find structure cats like.

    13.5 flat botton jon mod for catfishing

    Keep it simple Catfishing aint clean fishing. Don't install any carpet. Way to hard to keep carpet clean. Get some good quality rod holders. Cats bite best at night so navigation lights and interior lights are needed. Aside from that anything else is personal preference. I used and still...

    Depth Finder

    I use humminbird fishin buddy 120. I like the portability with it and ease of use. I bought a tinny for the simple no maintenance approach to being on the water. If I'm slow trolling, I mount it in the back. If I'm casting off the front deck, I move it there. No wires to run and when I'm done...
