A buddy of mine is getting rid of his, and I need one. The motor looks to be in great shape, and I'll be testing it out on Wednesday. When I asked him what he wanted to get out of it, he said he didn't know... Said I should test it first and offer him what I think it's worth. Truth is, I have...

How wide is your beam? Looks like a good platform to start from, I say go for it!

didn't add a whole lot of weight, not sure on a number so I won't guess... she sits pretty in the water though. Still need to get my side pieces on the front and rear decks, but she's fishable... picked up a 55lb minn kota, a ram mount for the lowrance elite 4 as well as a skimmer transducer...

Thanks guys, gonna be picking up a new TM tomorrow... Andy, my seat will be at bench level.

Does shaft length on a transom mount trolling motor make a difference? I understand that with a bow mount, longer is better, especially with windy conditions.... is the same true with transom mount? Will a longer shaft on the transom improve performance in rough conditions?

spray in or roll on truck bed liner

Well it's been a long winter... Finally started working on the boat again. Took an idea from a recently posted project and I like how its turning out. Should have her back on the water in a few weeks. A few pics....

yes it does, but for the price I would download the smartphone app

thanks!

I recently bought a Lowrance elite-4 ice machine for ice fishing. The unit will be used for both seasons, but i need to buy a skimmer transducer for it. Any idea which transducer is the correct one for the unit? It is not a dsi model, and I can't seem to find any information on which one to buy.

Gonna have to do something similar, looks great and Im all about saving money!

Wood frame is complete and treated; as of right now that's the progress. I took a break from the boat to try and save some money for the holidays. Next step is running the wiring, then flooring and carpeting, but I plan on doing that in a month or so. As far as the the rod holders go, I used...

My 14' sea king has one as well hasn't affected the performance

I like it, if I had the money I'd buy one and do what I could to help out... I don't though lol. Do you have anymore pics of the design? I'd like to see some of the features up close

I am just resting the frame on the benches. The casting deck in the front is supported by a vertical brace that I kind of rigged up after looking at a bunch of ideas on here. It's solid and the only thing its screwed into is the bench seat. I uploaded some pics from today on my thread. They...

Framing is coming along nicely. It's going a lot smoother, and for winging it i think its turning out well. Here's some pics. After I finish frame in the stern, I'll be starting on the floor.

Hey Bamnco, looks like you have the same boat as me. I removed the middle bench and my floor will extend from the back bench to the deck that will be in the bow. As far as framing for the floor, im still trying to figure out what I'll do. My casting deck will be supported by a 2x2 frame that...

I'll have to make sure I test it out before I secure the frame to the benches. It's pretty stable as is though.

I think I should be okay. Im usually standing on the front bench seat casting, and I've yet to lose my balance. Plus with the added weight it should sit lower in the water, which should theoretically make it more stable.
