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.

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...

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...

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...

Okay guys, this is my mod. Probably not the cleanest or most interesting, but its what I could afford. Basically I am taking this 150 dollar beat up lowe flatbottom and building a duck boat. Plan is to put a front deck on it for storage and a dog platform. Camo, New transom, Motor, a blind and a...

Okay lets see if I can explain this in words. I want to add a “deck” to the front of my boat, however not a deck that will be used for fish or standing on for any long time periods. This is a duck boat and the only reason I want the deck is to make my blind shorter and for decoy storage. I was...

Gave the guy 20 to hold it aweek cause I had reservations.. 300 a fair price? I think its a 72. Long story short- guy had gas in the carb so of course it started... next he had the prop in a bucket of water... just the prop not the intake... im thinking ill need to replace the impeller even if...

Anyone ever use a Wagner Power Sprayer to paint their boat? Was thinking about using it for my Duck boat as it does not need to look glossy and any overspray or small blotching might actually help the dull flat look I need. Only issue is finding Aluminum primer and duck boat paint in a pail...

Guys, I'm looking at buying a welder. I had read that MIG will work for Aluminum, however I have read some posts on here stating it is not best. Any advise on what to buy? I have zero experience welding but I am fairly mechanical. I plan to read a lot and practice a lot before trying anything on...

Anyone near Ohio, Check this out. Someone please buy this boat! If not I might have to and I can't get another boat right now! 16 foot V with 20 HP (no idea if it works) on a trailer for 300... https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/boa/1447296353.html

Did a search and came up with everyone ordering from online sources for hardware. My question is what is a good way to attach bunks? Obviously you don't want bolts sticking out the top. Will 3 L brackets with short wood screws up from the bottom work to hold them on? What other ways besides...

Everyone uses 2x4's or another size wood. I was thinking about that composit deck material ... Would that work? Should not warp ever... Nice and slick so I was thinking it might be usable without carpet and allow the boat to slide off easier? Just thinking here... Anyone use some other material...

okay... I know with enough effort you can make any trailer work, but I don't have a welder and don't really want to buy a trailer then need to redo it... I figure just buy something that works the first time... Well... changing lights or a tire is ok I guess... I was looking and found a lot of...

How expensive is it to add pods to a baot? 1648 flat bottom lowe. Don't need them yet but would like a bigger motor next year.

new here and wanted to say hi. I have 2 boats. A 13 foot flat bottom that is old and beat up and a 1648 Lowe faltbottom. It is a bit older. I totally screwed up and was pounding out a dent and put a hole in the corner of the bottom in the front. I had a braizing rod but I could NOT get the boat...
