    Transom reinforcement

    Ok, I see. Yeah, the cracked knee would negate any stability it is designed to offer. I’m liking what I’m learning about aluminum boats. My biggest like is that they are light in weight. I only notice that I’m pulling something on uphills. And even then, it’s minimal resistance.

    Transom reinforcement

    Maintenanceguy, your support looks pretty solid. Could you please post a picture of the plate (from the bench looking at the transom)? I want to proceed with caution and reservation. By that, I mean, I want to do what I need to do to preserve the boat. But not to the point where I’m drilling...

    Transom reinforcement

    Thanks Tbair! I appreciate it. This is my first boat that I’ll own from new. The boat will stay in the garage-should fit even with engine on. Would the 3/4” marine wood be necessary if I am installing a transom saver?

    Transom reinforcement

    Ok! That’s makes sense. I am planning on getting a transom saver with the motor. I thought the reinforcement was needed in the water as well. Thanks Weldor

    Transom reinforcement

    Got a new Lowe 1448 jon. I asked the dealer whether or not the transom needed to be reinforced. He replied the boat was rated to carry up to 25 HP engines and that wood can be added to the outside of the transom. However, he explained, the wood only serves as a protector for the paint. I am...

    Bow mount on utility v

    Never mind, I saw some videos/pics of tm mounted near the bow and seemed to work well. I thought there had to be a mount that spanned across.

    Safe travelling speed on 8 inch tires?

    Wow! 62 would be nice. I understand that would be a max limit, if that’s the rating. I’d be happy going 50. Not in a hurry to get places; I just leave early.

    Safe travelling speed on 8 inch tires?

    You’re not kidding-I’m in Florida and it isn’t much cooler down here. Thanks for the reply. It’s encouraging to hear that I won’t be limited to 45 mph.

    Safe travelling speed on 8 inch tires?

    That’s a good question. I don’t know but I’m looking forward to finding out. I don’t plan on going fast, but I would like to keep my range open. Thanks!

    Safe travelling speed on 8 inch tires?

    Hello, I am a first-time owner of a boat and trailer. The boat is a lowe 1457, so it is relatively light. The trailer has 8-inch tires on it. My concern is safety. Should I expect any trouble traveling at 50-60 mph with this light load? If I switch to 12-inch tires, will this be safer?

    Bow mount on utility v

    I am getting a Lowe 1457 and would like to mount a tm on the bow. Any suggestions on how to do this?
