Just wanted to say great job on the rebuild, and thank you so much for all of the postings/pictures. I just purchased this same exact boat, and the floor is shot. I will be taking on this project sometime in the near future, but thought all of your hard work deserved a thank you post from...

Nice ride. Looking forward to the progress...

I am not sure what to say here either. I would appreciate some input from someone who has experience in welding aluminum, as I am looking at a boat with the same issue. Any info is appreciated.

I will be there at the end of March or early April in 2012. Good crappie time! That is what we fish for when we go. But you can also catch largemouth, catfish, etc. This place also produces the biggest bluegill I have ever seen! Great place.

I will be there April 7-10! Counting down the days! I have been reading some crazy stuff online though. Something about pumps taking all of the water out of the ground and causing reelfoot lake to drop in water level. Anyone hear anything about this? You Quackerstacker? Anyways, would be...

I just got off the phone with the local scrapyard that I bought all of my angle off of. I forgot exactly how much I used, but for 1"x1/8" it is $.90/ft. Overall I think I may have had around $50 in aluminum angle.

I just noticed this forum and thought I would share some pics that I took at Reelfoot Lake in Tennesee. We take an annual trip there and stay at Blue Bank Resort. If you hae not been, I highly recommend it. Great place for a little bt of money.

Thanks for the compliment. I originally though that would be a rod locker, but as you can see, my rods are stored on deck. I leave the oars in that locker. Either way, if you can squeeze it in your plan, its not a bad thing to have. I am glad I have it on mine. As for the angle, I used...

I may be showing my ignorance here. But when you ray "removing" what do you mean? Will you cut out the entire section and have someone weld a patch in? Anyways, thanks for the first reply and keep posting pictures. I am going to watch this modification closely.

Amazing paint job....I am speechless. PLEASE post some final pics of this boat!!

Well...there is a reason you didnt see them. They dont exist. When I was modding this boat, I wasnt exactly confident in everything and I decided that if I needed to tear the boat apart, I wanted easy access. None of the flooring or decking is bolted down. To be honest, I am glad I done it...

Chadillac, The very first picture of the hold at the seam...Is this the front of the boat? I am looking at a boat right now very similar to yours. Do you plan on welding this? On the boat I am looking at, it has the saem exact issue. I beleive this is due to pressure on the boat being...

This all depends on preference. My boat is a 1440. 14' long and 40" wide at its widest point in the floor. Alot of people will say that is too narrow for casting decks. I decided not to listen. :D Once again, for me, I am fine with the stability. The back deck is no problem at all. If...

Not problem with the questions. I am glad to help. Yes, these are 13" pedestals made by Swivl Eze. Carpet....that seems pretty expensive. You might be pricing the high end marine carpet. I selected the lower grade. It was alot cheaper, and does the job just fine. You should be able to...

Well, its about that time again, and I have found myself revisiting TinBoats....I realized that I never posted a final picture, not that its much different than the last picture, but atleast it has the seating on it. I might get a wild hair this summer and redo the trailer. As you can see it...

NP Flintcreek. I appreciate the thought. :)

ok sounds good. Thanks alot. I ordered an manual last night from a guy off of ebay. its for the k505 models. on the front of the manual it had a 5.5 hp though. I asked him if this was the saem as mine and he said yes, but the had two different hoods for these motors, but same parts. My...

I get a message "sorry no matches" at the link. Thanks

a sea king 5 hp came with my tinboat. I have not tried starting it yet, and would like to have an owners manual before even messing with it. Model # KTV 50505 B Serial #1611044 Type #K505 6116 Do any of you guys have any info on this? I dont even know for sure what year it is. It would be...
