I fish a 16' Princecraft utility boat mostly in rivers. I had a mushroom anchor that did not hold well for me, so I switched to the same size river anchor and have had success. I mention that only because weight may not be the only thing to consider. Charlie

I like the idea of this question and I so not have an answer. I did find this on line....way too expensive for the point of this discussion, but maybe you can get an idea from it? Jellio5, this reminds me of what you might have been trying to do... https://www.anchorwizard.com/index.html Charlie

darn lol...i thought that i was helping someone out! charlie :oops:

Hi guys, I was just looking around CL and came across this. I have not seen it nor do I have any ties to the sale. It looks like it may be worth $100? It is in western MA. Charlie https://westernmass.craigslist.org/boa/2242529163.html

Man that boat looks great empty. I have an idea...and it is just that. Do you have or have a friend that has one of those laser levels like they use for hanging pictures or drywall? Set it up 6" from the center line on the boar and mark where it hits the side. Then just move it and repeat...

Welcome house. I am looking forward to the pics! charlie

Lol...thanks guys! :)

Thanks for the reply, Jim. Cool. If I see anything I will post it. I just did not want to add any "clutter." Charlie

Hi everyone, I have gotten so much helpful information here the past few months that I am amazed. I am also on a few other boards and none...none...match the helpfulness and friendliness of this site. From time to time I see that people here are looking for a specific boat or a deal to be the...

thanks guys...i will do the necessary tweaking in the spring. great point about the setback and continuous water flow over the transducer. charlie

russ and quack, thanks for the input. i think that you guys are right and the transducer is a little low. russ i think you are talking about using the paint stirrer to check the depth of the transducer and that is a great idea. i wish spring were closer because i want to get this little...

i like the sound of adhesive more and more. liquid nails sounds good. and 5200 has no issues with wood i believe. is there any sealant...i know spar is used a lot here...that i should avoid? pt wood is a no-no...i learned that here. anything else? thanks everyone...i already have the shack...

rich...that is a great idea. originally i was going to remove the transducer and replace the screws adding some 5200.

wow... i hadn't had a chance to check this today and there are a lot of possibilities. i do have a transducer on now, but the new new transducer's holes would not align...man that would be a simple and innovative concept in case there is a humminbird or garm rep here :idea: i did actually toy...

heman, thanks for the response. i did read that review on bps but was hoping to find someone who actually tried it. it seems like the easiest of all possible solutions. charlie

Hi Everyone, I would like to add a transducer to my aluminum hull (Princecraft Starfish 15) and would like to avoid drilling any additional holes. I was thinking about mounting it on a transducer mounting plate like this https://www.basspro.com/Transducer-Mounting-Plate/product/9153/-569874...

Hey...that looks like a great idea. Should you start making them for sale I am in for one! <-- seriously! Charlie

Waterdog, I think the above poster answered the same way I would have. On an aside, great photo! You boy and his dog...that is what it is all about. Charlie

Thanks, Jim. I am another MA guy and am looking forward to rediscovering the freshwater scene! Charlie

Hi Guys, New to the site. Lots of great info here. I know this is late, but I just got one from Northern Tool for under $60 (for my 16' Princecraft Starfish). It is trailerable, water and UV resistant and warrantied for 4 years. If it helps someone else out....great. I can't speak about...
