Wow! This might be the most impressive mod I have seen! Looks great!

Hey guys, I'm working on a new project now. A 1972 charger tri-hull (ALL ELECTRIC). I plan on having 3 50lb trollong motors on back, and one bow mount 50lb on the front. I saw on a local resevior once, a rig that allowed you to controll 3 trolling motors with one stick/throttle. Anyone ever...

thank you! I hope so too! Can't wait to get out there and learn some new tricks!

Thanks! :D

I know, I'm a little nervous about it. I just hope there is is enough weight in the bottom to to balance it. [-o<

I used piano hinges on mine, wish I could have hidden them, but the framing below the deck made it tough to mount them on the inside. Link to my mod. Not any close ups but at least you can see them in a few. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12245

Thanks for everyone's kind words!

I'm really not sure man. This is my first build. I do know that the West Marine aluminum epoxy is some great stuff though. It can even be put on under water. Stuff hardens to metal basically. They say it can even be tapped for a bolt or screw.

HAHAHA thanks, maybe if I were about 100lbs lighter!

It is a 1236 Sears Gamefisher. Yeah, bowing is definately my biggest fear. I'm gonna see how she does with the weight in there now, and if/when I ever have to replace the decks, i'll probably go with some thicker stuff.

No, I used 7/16. I was trying to lighten it up as much as I could. I was a little leary about using such a thin sheet, but the bracing underneith is pretty stout and it actually turned out pretty sturdy.

Thanks guys! Means alot! No, I never got to sand blast, the funding just wasn't there. :lol: Just alot of stripping and sanding. Got some aircraft paint remover like you guys said and it worked a heck of alot better than the standard stripper.

After about 2 months of grueling stripping, sanding, sealing, cutting, nailing and carpeting, I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED!! I did ok about taking pictures in the begining but slacked off in the middle. I do have some pictures of the finished product so you can get the basic idea. Thanks for looking...

Awesome mod!! Love that boat cover frame! May have to try that for myself!!

Wow man! Your boat looks great! Really inspires me to work hard on mine! Good job!
