I want to thank everyone for all of the great info and suggestions. When I bought the boat it had 3/4 tank of fuel, and I don't know how long it had been in the boat. The guy I bought it from told me had taken the boat out the previous week, that it ran great, but I'm skeptical about those...

My 1993 70 HP Evinrude, on a 17' Lowe aluminum, runs great on plane for about 5 minutes, then just falls on its face and dies. I can immediately restart the engine, and bring it back on plane, after idling for a few minutes, but it repeats the fall on face thing. It seems to me that I'm running...

Guys, thanks for the feedback, information and suggestions. I think I'm going to go with red oak since I'm not able to find white oak that's readily available. I'll post progression pictures once I get this project moving forward. Thanks again. Ron

I finally bought a 14' modified V with a late model 9.9 Evinrude (the price was good, so I bought primarily for the motor), but after looking the old boat over once I got it home, I've decided the boat has a lot of character and I'd like to restore to its original condition. For those of you who...

Thank you for the input on the 1448.

I'm deeply appreciative of everyone's feedback. I'll be running in water that's 5' +, so there's no need for a jet. I have located a 1243 semi V Smokercraft w/6 HP Ecinrude for a pretty good price, so I might go ahead and jump on the 12' and call it good.

Okay folks, I'm back with a new question - several actually. First, I have a lot of boating experience, but have never owned a tin boat, other than a pontoon. I currently have a very nice 18' Bass Buggy pontoon, but I want something I can take to the river for some quick Crappie fishing. The...

Guys, thanks for the great input. I'm looking at a 16' at the same time, so I think I'll opt to go that route. BTW, I'm 64, excellent physical condition, 200 lbs, and wear a PFD religiously. Ron

I live in Broken Arrow and just wanted to gauge the level of interest in a tin boat tournament club in the Tulsa area. Crappie or Bass, either would work well for me, just looking to see who might have an interest. Thanks, Ron

Okay, I've been fishing for a long time (which means I'm old) and I'd like to get the benefit of some sage advice. Tin boats are completely new to me, which is why I need to post this question. I've located a decent little 14' boat with a 5 HP Suzuki motor, at a very good price. Here's where the...

Hello, I'm in Broken Arrow, OK., just a few miles from Tulsa. I do most of my fishing, mostly Crappie, on Ft. Gibson lake, from my 20' pontoon boat, but I'm currently looking for a 14' aluminum to be used on local small rivers and creeks only. My name is Ron, I'm 64 and retired, and looking...
