    Emergency Boarding ladder

    Howdy, As some of you may know I'm older than dirt, overweight, and not very agile! In other words, I'm too dang old and fat to climb back into my 14' fishing boat should I fall overboard! Did I fail to mention that I'm also very clumsy? So I decided that a simple boarding ladder might be...

    Tinytach?

    It was recommended on another web site that I should buy a Tinytach for checking the RPM on my single cylinder outboard motor as I change to different prop pitches. From what I read on the Tinytach website, the device is a small tach with an hour metor, that operates from a single wire wrapped...

    Trot and Jug line holder

    Now, I know that most of you are big time bass fishermen...but, for the very few who might like to eat some catfish now and again, I thought i'd show the little gadget I made to hold trot and jug lines when I'm fishing by myself. I have some V-Cleats left over from my sailing days so I mounted...

    Removing a center boat seat?

    OK, here is the deal...I've looked at many outstanding boat modifications on this forum, so I know that there are some very talented guys out there! I've been daydreaming about perhaps removing the center seat bench on my 14' V-bottom Richline aluminum boat. However, I believe that doing so...

    My fish net holder!

    Howdy all, As stated on another thread, finding a place to keep your fish net from underfoot can be a problem. My fix for this problem most likely wouldn't work for most newer boats. My older aluminum boat has wooden bench seats that can be easily be replaced whenever needed. Therefore, I...

    Motor Shift Lever Extension

    I have a small Nissan 6 HP four-stroke that I bought for a another wood boat project, but I am now using it on my 14' V-bottom fishing boat. Very nice motor and it runs great. However, the few times that I have used it I seem to have a little problem reaching behind myself and finding the shift...

    Installing a fishfinder wtihout drilling holes!

    Hi Guys, I wanted to install a fish finder on my old 1957 14’ V-bottom aluminum boat, but I didn’t want to drill any holes in the hull because the hull is in excellence shape. So what I did was make a mounting bracket out of ¾" plywood and mount it on the boat using one of the two oarlocks...
