A Very Nice well tought out Conversion! Being about 1000 miles from the nearest Salt Water, I find it very interesting to see how you set things up.

Bass Addict: It's called a Tie-Fast Tool, I now would never be without it. They are available at Bass Pro, Cabelas and many fly and tackle shops. I'm buying two more. One For my key ring and on for my fly tying station. I could try to explaing it but this You Tube Demo is better than what I can...

There are three knots I use about 99% of the time. 1) is the Palomar 2) is the Gryp Knot 3) Double Gryp for joining lines The last two are used more since I bought this from Bass Pro Shop for $7.95. I like the Gryp knot because every coil grips the tag end.

That's one nice boat. There are tons of lakes up here that were built in the 50's and the upstream ends have silted in. Untold acres of placed no one takes their boats. That would be perfect and one would have it al to themselves.

prices on used boats can vary quite a bit based on the area your in and condition of the boat and they will go higher this time of year than they would in November. I can give you one example, I know of. My son bought in April, a used 14X36 L Lowe that's in nearly new condition on a nice...

Yeah it's true on State owned and many County lakes. The Exceptions are the Great Lakes area of NW Iowa(Okeboji, Spirit Lake Etc) Private Lakes and Federal impoundments. You can operate any motor, but no wakes. There are also many lakes under 100 acres where Electric only is the law. The Lake I...

If your going new, I would buy what ever Brand is sold in your area by a reputable dealer. I know of 5 brands sold in my area(within 35 miles). And if your comparing like models from each I don't think there is much difference between them? So I woud go with the dealer that makes the best deal...

Happy Birthday Johnny! You have a nice boat to start with. As Jim said, first make it useable and use it. Take on the modifications and upgrades as you have the money and time. I would make a plan, laying out the things I wanted to do in small jobs that you can complete in a week. Nothing stinks...

Nice Job Froggy!! A simple and tastefully done conversion. Just what I'm thinking I need for our Electric only lakes around here.

There are a lot of varibles pertaining to speed using a trolling motor. Far too many to give a definitive answer as to whethere you could make 10 mph. Size of the motor, battery or batteries total weight your pushing etc. The search function will get you into the archives and you can read to...

Being over a 1000 miles from the flats, I only know what I have read? Still think there are places here in Iowa where I would like to try a flats boat. And have been facinated with Flats Boats so have read and searched the internet for everything I could find about flats boats and flats fishing...

Well with the 9.9 on that boat and 3 of us in the boat it was probably going 8- 10mph or so. Bailey probably goes 220, his son 180 and I weigh 175 so we were running at maximum reccomended capacity and doing that speed,impressed me. He thought he needed more motor to run on the Des Moines River...

I think you would do fine with a 10hp motor so long as your not running in a river with a strong current. My son has a Lowe 14 X 36L and had a 9.9 1965 Sears motor that handles it nicely with power to spare. He has since put on a 72 Evenrude 15hp on it and it's almost too much motor. His boat is...

Nice looking boat! As for a Name? Well it's already wearing the right name for my style of fishing.

When the bosses speak, it pays to listen! I bet you could come up with a combination of Black & Brown that would please everybody. Even if they had come up with purple, the new Chargers have a purple that would not go bad with white. I think back in the 70's they called it Plumb Crazy on the...

Nice Boat will make a great Fishing platform for you! I think you pictures just caused me to have a FLASHBACK? About 10 yrs ago I met a guy(Jerry O'Connor) from Minnesota on another website(that site closed and we lost track of each other), who's wife had family in Knoxville(about 30 mile South)...
