At this point I think a rebuild is probably my best bet to be absolutely sure that I have the right parts.

My lower unit went out on my Mercury 90 HP Saltwater. I've contacted SEI Marine who sells new aftermarket lower units and they sell one (SE205) that is said to fit "Most" 3 and 4 cylinder motors. You can buy them in various gear ratios. Mine is a 25" unit with 2.33:1 gear ratio. The problem...

Uh oh...jumped the gun...didn't read the whole thread but now I see that you've already bought a boat. Sorry.

I've got just the boat design for you Busby. I had the same issues. Here's my rig which is an 1856 Alweld Marsh series tunnel hull with some minor customization of the seating done by the dealer.

Thanks todd. I've spoken with Nick. Unfortunately he didn't know anything about the boat since it was made in Delhi.

Redsnapper, you were correct. The model number was on that yellow capacity plate. It's a 760 RRTC Forward Center Console. Actually found one picture of the same boat on a website called "boats in South Africa". That particular website claims to host specifications on as many boats as...

Yep, I checked that. I'll check again this afternoon though because when I looked I was really just checking the maximum horsepower size. I'll look again for something on the boat model.

Thanks for the responses. The problem is that Duracraft started in Monticello Arkansas and in 1983 they sold out to a company who relocated the business to somewhere in Louisiana. Very recently the original owner bought the company back and they're back making them in Monticello Ar again and...

Trying to find some literature on a 2004 or 2005 Duracraft boat we just purchased. Hull ID number is DCAG4003G405 I downloaded a hull ID decoder and it basically tells me that it's a Duracraft (which I knew) and that it was manufactured in July 0f 2004 but is listed as a 2005 model boat. The...

I hate to bug you with this question but I'm having trouble distinguishing between a couple of the patterns. Obviously I know what the "flat" one is, and I can see a diamond pattern in your display so I'm assuming that one is the "molded diamond" since you have a note that says the "cut long...

If you buy a stainless power tech prop and don't like it you can return it for a fee of about $50 and swap it for one with a different pitch so long as you don't scar or scratch it before you return it. I'd definitely drop down 1" in pitch but I don't think I'd go lower than that. I know...

I know... My buddies poke fun of me all the time for doing just that. Just my personality I guess. I don't mind the jokes. It's kinda my thing to "over think" stuff.

Man I hate to beat up on a sponsor, but their site is very misleading. This is what's posted under their jon boat category of boat covers. Do you have a jon boat which needs a cover? Whether you have a poly-jon boat made by Pelican, or a traditional jon style bass boat made by Alumacraft or...

Thanks LDUBS. I went to their site and their site seems to indicate they would have the perfect cover for my boat, but I don't see my set up available in any of their selection criteria so I sent them a message. Maybe they'll steer me in the right direction. Thanks again.

Trying to find a cover for my boat. I consider my boat a Jon Boat but it does have a console and seats and is quite large. I've seen Jon Boat covers for sale but just can't find any that really seem to fit the way my boat is set up. Cover needs to be for a boat with a flat front like mine and...

I'm guessing this is sold?

If I had the available length on my gunnel that's what I'd be going with but I only have 41" between the back side of my seat boxes and the front side of the rear bench. And I have another 44" from there to the transom. Total of 85" which is barely enough room for a 6.5' rod.

I had a similar plan Dale. I was gonna buy a hole saw and sacrifice it by cutting the "cutting end" off. Then welding it to a thin walled steel pipe of the same diameter. Then weld the arbor end of the bit to the opposite end of the steel pipe. I tested my rods out last night and the task...

I'm sure this has been discussed multiple times on this forum, considering how hard it is to find decent rod storage in a jon boat but...I think I've settled on what I want to do. Take a look at this picture. I will need to drill some holes in my rear bench and insert some PVC sleeves into the...

Just sharing a picture or two of my radio and speakers. Cheap rig by a company called Boss. Never heard of them but for the price it's pretty decent. Radio and 2 speakers were around $100 and I bought an extra pair of speakers for around $25. Radio has dew on it because I took the picture...
