    2009 Lowe 1436L Jon Boat

    WOW. tornado in MI? Never heard of that before and i've lived here all my life. The damages aren't too bad. I've seen wayyy worse. As long as there is no holes or leaks you should be good. 40lbs thrust trolling motor should be enough, but more power is always better. Anyways good luck. I'm on...

    My 14' Aluminum Build

    I wanted less weight that's why i did the open design. Less wood = less weight. My crv is all wheel drive and tow's the boat fine. I wouldn't try towing a fiberglass boat though. The crv is rated at 800lbs tow load. I can dip all 4 wheels in at the ramp and can still come up fine.

    Actually the car theft rate for all kinds of vehicle is about the same. It depends on where you live and what you have. From what i know these thieves aren't just breaking into a car and "hot-wiring" it, they are actually flat-bedding the cars right from the driveways.

    Crv's are less stolen here. Civics are the most stolen car here. Upgraded from a civic hatch so i should be a little safer.
