Hello fellow tinnies! I've got a question that I'd like to have some of my fellow forum members weigh in on... I've been looking to score a good deal on an aluminum canoe from Craigslist and keep keep running into a few snags (heheh, pun - sorry). What I WANT is a square-back canoe (having a...

I think it's high time that I polish my car headlight lenses. Has anyone used a polishing kit? Is any one brand better than the next? Good/bad experiences? Thanks in advance.

Hey gents, My boat has finally let me know what she wants to be called, now I just need to know where to put her rightful name...hopefully ya'll can give me some ideas that would lend a clean look, allow me to get good size lettering/graphics, and all that whatnot. I'm open to all...

So gents...holiday time is here and I was wondering which of the "big 2" is it for you; Thanksgiving or Christmas? For me, it'd be, hands down, Turkey Day. Come on! It's all about food, family, and being together...not like that December atrocity that has turned into nothing more than a...

O.K. TB gents, a handful of recent events and a few curious observations have sparked an idea :idea: that I thought I’d toss out there for discussion: First off, a good friend/coworker of a long-time friend of mine just got through borrowing (renting actually) my boat for a four-day...

Truthfully, I think I've heard of the name before, but never knew how 'totally awesome' the crafts they make really were. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/boa/2508680646.html The seller doesn't mention the length of the boat, but I'm guessing in the +25' range. :shock:

Ok gents, I’ve done my research in the forums here, online, talked to dad, and had grandpa give the situation a once over. Now it’s time open the can of worms and toss the situation/problems at the trailer forum: Background: Through the collective wisdom of the TB community, I’ve been able...

Ok, I've been wondering why we don't have a "Post a Pic of your trailer!" thread similar to the "Post a Pic of your boat! thread. I mean, come on, we put a lot of time and effort into fixing/restoring our trailers, maybe even do some custom modifications as well. A thread dedicated to solely...

Ok, so I was thinking about something I saw today and wanted to have ya'll weigh in... I saw an ad, perhaps BPS or Cabela's, and noticed the fella in the ad was captaining a 1436-ish tin, life jacketed up, and rowing with a 36" canoe-type paddle. Now, maybe my approach was overkill, as...

Hey gents, I just had some trees cut down and had the professionals leave me with all the big branches, trunks, etc. (saved $150 in dump fees) :wink:. I have a nice chainsaw that's a few years old, however, I'd like to buy a quality axe for chopping, camping, and the stuff I don't want/need...

The picture's worth 1000 words:

We all have been there; either on the water, at the launch, or whatever, and >>>BAM<<<, you know what happens! :shock: Be it bailing wire, duck tape, zip ties, or bubble gum...let's hear those stories of how you repaired your broken ____ :?: ____ and returned back to the launch, dock, or...

Ok, so there's a few questions that I have...here's the story: When I bought my boat it came with a 1965 6HP Evinrude and a 6 gallon tank. Both have been sitting for about 10 years. The boat and motor were restored completely before getting stuffed into the barn, so my plans are to freshen up...

So, a post by ohiobass (https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15464) added another element to my thinking of adding a second craft to my single tin fleet (not sure if one can call one boat a fleet, but I will for argument’s sake). In his post he mentioned having two boats, a "go...

Seriously, I found this image online about a year ago and since then I think it would be a hoot to put one together. Not safe at all, probably would make the Game and Fish ranger wet himself while he was writing me a ticket, but man, it would be fun as heck and sure would turn some heads...

I'm looking for some fellow TinBoaters in AZ to hang out with, fish with, and can possibly share their vast array of old school Johonny-rude motor knowledge. I'm in the Metro Phoenix Area, Tempe specifically, and fish primarily for Trout in Northern AZ Mountain lakes. I'd like to enter into...

Ok, so there's this guy in my neighborhood who has a 14' Sea Nymph sitting in his driveway with a "For Sale" sign. I'm always on the lookout for a good deal so after a couple of weeks I finally stopped to check out the boat. I looked at the boat, which is generally pretty good but does needs...

Question for all the sparkys or sparky juniors out there… I’m upgrading from my decrepit battery-powered lights navigation lights to wired navigation lights (see thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13952 for more info). In a nutshell, I’ll be running the nav light wiring...

Ok, this one really frosts my bait... From the few that I've shared my thoughts with only the boat owners really 'get it'; the non-owners understand my frustration, but don't really 'get the big picture'. I often frequent our local 'urban' lake as it's only 10min from the house and big enough...

O.k. ya'll, the old (and I mean REALLY OLD!) battery-operated lights that came with my 'new-to-me' boat need to be replaced. The plastic housing, lenses, etc. finally gave way to the ol' Arizona sun and it's time to upgrade to something better....(ooohhh, wired.....ooohhh, chrome......oooohhhh...
