I've found these solder shrink tube connectors to be amazing for this job. Just put the wires in, hit it with a heat gun or small torch and you're set...

https://tbnation.net/collections/decking-flooring Here's more floor ideas if you haven't dedicated to one yet

https://tbnation.net/collections/decking-flooring The new decking stuff is pretty nice, im going to do it when I redo my 63 richline deck

Brace for the transom, and the other two are interesting. Maybe so you don't clog the drain with beer cans? Or maybe so you can make a gas tank frame? Not really sure

Sorry bud no picture to see. When you go to put a picture in, add file, choose the picture, wait for the green line to load then hit place inline. If you're unsure if it did it, hit the preview button and see

The 140t can hold 4 people and a capacity of 975lbs so I would stick close to that. Motor, id just go on ebay and pick up some 20hp stickers, not like they'd actually look at the serial plate on the motor. I'd like to see some pictures of that battery area so I can see what you're talking...

I have this same motor, so the loose rubber rod is used to lock the motor for reverse. It's supposed to sit inside that little notch, kind of a pain in the arse but doable. Mine I'm running 50:1 and dont hardly have smoke and the temp of the water coming out seems to stay consistent. I am having...

Unless you were going with like a 25 or 30horse in my opinion, transom looks pretty solid so a 15horse shouldn't have a trouble living on there with the transom saver for transport. If you know you're gonna hit dirt road with ruts or washboard I'd pull it off just to be safe. Good luck!

National lampoon has some of the greatest boating scenes ever haha

I used ss deck screws to be honest on a swivel plate. Making sure I'd be able to access the bolts for the chair from underneath. I think I may change these to the 8in riser style like I got in the front. The seats were pretty cheap, I got them from ebay with the swivels for like 64 bucks a...

3/4" marine wood would do it but if you're doing a 15hp (guessing newer 4stroke?) Its kinda hard to be taking the ob off and on just to take the boat out. Like the guy said above, transom saver for trailering keeps the weight on the trailer instead of the transom and keeps it from wiggling and...

I welded some 2"×2" pillars for guiding the boat and also for backing up. Also a great place for the lights and plate. I can see everything when backing it up (even with a couple beers) through the mirrors. Even tought the misses to do it!

Heres my 60s rich line 14ft. Deck, lights, bimini (a must in my opinion), pole holders, cup holders and chairs.

I believe mine is a 60s rich line, why did everyone camo these??? Painted mine and put some decking and a bimini on her. Fishing machine!

Little update in the boat, took it out on the Little Payette lake here in idaho and she did great! No leaks (not sure how I pulled that off) engine ran great and even got a burn! Thanks again for the info Don, 60's 14ft Rich line.

Thanks Don! I figured it was pre 70's but awesome!

I have a 14' mod v with oar locks. No oars tho, I have some nrs paddles I keep just in case. Probably end up removing the locks since I have only paddles. I paddled canoes before finally getting a tin boat, just getting lazy and want to fish more

I had the same thoughts about weather or not to live well the boat. I finally came to the storage and I found a fish basket on a chain that I can put over the side of the boat to hold fish like a live well. Dont forget to pull them in for any kind of speed tho!

Bought the bimini on ebay actually! It was only about 140 I think for a 4 bow. Quite cheap for no sunburn! And thanks that does kind of help, I've just heard that there was quite a few rivet boat companies back in the day so it could be anything lol. Just got the motor going yesterday so all I...
