Love the blue! What is that color called?

HEading to the New in WV tomorrow for a yearly trip. This year it starts on my 40th... bitter sweet i guess. dont wanna turn 40 but its a good way to celebrate it. Anyway we float the New near Hinton usually. Anyone been out there lately? Do any good? Thanks for any input.

verry nice. Keep the pics coming. Cant wait to see what you do with this blank canvas.

I have not used it yet in duck season, but this year I figured any floor would be better than stepping over ribs all the time. So I Just cut out a floor from plywood, sealed it, cut out some cheap outdoor carpet (19 bucks at lowes) and glued and stapled it on. Works great so far fishing. I'm not...

Looks awesome man! I'm a little confused. You said you are steelflexing the inside too? Isnt steelflex slippery as snot? and super durable as well? I would think doing the inside would actually make is really splippery and prevent you from decking etc... One thing I can say is that it is very...

Yes vent was open, but excelent question. KMixson, I think thats a great idea. I'll probably get one for my line. can't hurt anyway.

Okay, I had an old Johnson 6 gal gas can in the garage sitting for 10 years that was GF's grandfathers. I dumpped the gas and refilled it. Put new gas line on it. Took my new-to-me Johnson 9.5 out and it started great and ran fine for about 5 min. It started lagging a bit but I was at my...

cut the plywood, sealed it and let that dry. then Icut the carpet to size and glued it on and stapled it underneath.

Well I finished the floor. pics to follow...

Update. Been a while since I worked on the boat. I didn't get to use it last season for duck hunting so I kinda put it off for a while. I was able to get the old 15 hp motor to run but it has other issues. looks like compression and needs an impeller. I currently have the carb apart to clean it...

Awesome looking boat! do you use a blind on it or not? Can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks, yeah it was a 35. Guy has it FS. Just wondering .... this 57 has electric start. Anything go wrong with those easily? fixing the electric start dificult? I was looking at more modern 10HP motors and rebuilding an old 15 fastwin, but I like the thought of having 35 hp in case it gets...

Hi, I been away for a while but I love this site. I'm trying to fix up my 15 hp evenrude fastwin. I think its around a 1954? I got it to run for a min but it does some odd things with revving up without me touching throttle. So I pulled the carb and have a carb kit for it. I read somewhere...

I have a Lowe 1642 with a 16 inch transom. not a real wide boat. I am looking at a 1957 Evenrude 30 hp motor with electric start. It runs well and I like the older motors as I have a 15 hp fastwin. The 30 weighs about 135 lbs. I am wondering if that is going to be too heavy for my boat? I have...

Well, I found a local gas can rebuilt for under 50. Nice guy too. I have not been able to get the motor to run, but it has spark and did start for about 5 seconds a few times... Hope I just have to adjust the amnt of gas it gets... Two knobs on the front for adjustments. All the markings mostly...

Looks good man... I still don't have mine on the water... Just hoping everything is not frozen up for our late season cause I doubt I'll have it ready before then... Picked up a kayak and been using it in the marsh.

Your killing me... I'd give a ton to have a blind like that on large boat like that and here you are taking it off to make a fishing boat...lol. Totally cool though. Smart way to get the blind off man. Props there... Looks like it will be a great boat when your done. "I am looking for good...

Finished the transom, got the other side painted and the blind sewn on and painted but not brushed yet. Got a good line on a gas can... Looking over the motor, carb looks new, so thats a good thing I think. I have not tried to get it started yet, taking your advise and not starting it on fluid...

Okay guys I have till the 15th to get this puppy running. 15 hp Rude. OLD motor. I don't have #'s or know much about it except that it needs a weird gas tank... Pics of motor here... https://www.tinboats.net/forum/download/file.php?id=17109&t=1...
