Hey guys, trying to find a good running USED 9.9 or 15 HP OB for my boat... Can anyone direct me to a website or two that may have some used outboards for sale (other than Craigslist or Ebay). I've been searching daily and haven't found anything that fits my needs and budget. Am looking to...

Video was posted on North American Fishing Club... From a Youtube video. Nice fish - have to see to believe. 65 lb limit over 5 fish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwWblafrE_w&feature=related

If not on my boat, my rods were always piled up in a corner of my garage. Anytime I wanted to pull them out for a trip, line and hooks would end up making my rods into one big mess. I needed a rod rack, but didn't want to pay $50 to get one, plus, I have very limited space in my garage. So...

Okay guys. Last night I went to Bass Pro. They had a member club raffle there every 30 minutes for $25 gift cards, with the last drawing (the GRAND PRIZE) being a fish finder. Well, lucky enough - I've never won anything in my life... And I won the raffle on the fish finder!!! NOW WHAT? The...

Just wondering your guys thoughts on this. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I usually fish in less than 15 feet of water, most of the times it is under 8 feet though, as I do a lot of fishing in the Everglades. Is it worth it to spend a couple hundred $$$ on a fish finder? I know a...

If anyone can help me find this fishing hole I would be greatly appreciative. I read on fishing reports all the time about people pulling huge bass out of the "Lox Preserve" (Everglades) in south Florida. I live right next to a major boat ramp in the Everglades off of Lox Road (Loxahatchee...

I was over at my aunt's house this morning helping her clean out her garage. There was a bunch of stuff in there from the previous owner. Although my aunt has been there for over 20 years, she never had it in her to get the garage cleaned out. As we were moving stuff, I came across an old...

My brother and I have fished for several years only using spinning reels. And we love them. Lately, we've been talking about getting into some baitcasting reels. However, we don't know the first thing about them. Is there a good reel to start with up to the $100 range? Keep in mind, this...

I always spray mine down with the hose, but wondering if anyone had any suggestions on this. I want to keep my boat as nice as possible. I only fish in freshwater if that makes a difference...

So I was working today, and I was on a job. After I was done I was on my way back to my office and there was an intersection blocked for an accident. Traffic was seriously backed up. So I drove my Jeep over the median and headed back south, looking for a side road to turn on. I ended up on...

Post a photo of your first caught fish of 2011. It doesn't have to be big, it only has to be a fish that you hauled in. We gotta get on the board for 2011. I know that is hard to do for some of those living in the freezing cold up north... But there is no time restriction. If it has to be...

Maybe this has been done before, and if so, I apologize in advance. I thought it would be a good idea for the members to be able to share what they do for a living amongst each other. The idea is that we all come from different walks of life but we all have the same passion for our tins...

I recently wrapped up my mod, and now I have nothing to do!!! Want to add a solid fishfinder/GPS combo unit to the tin, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? Looking to stay within the $200 range, but would go more for an exceptional unit. Doesn't have to be color, as long as the...

Hey all, this is my first build. I can't thank the community of Tinboats.net enough. I've been working on this build since April, and whenever I had an issue, the users of this site kicked in helpful tips that allowed me to produce this fishing machine. I took tons of photos throughout the...

Hey all, I have a Tracker 1436 that I'm doing a mod on (my first)... Its been delayed as I'm setting up a company too. But this past weekend, I really made some headway on the modification, and now I'm looking to get an outboard. I've looked around at several, but I really don't know what I...

I know we aren't dealing with any yachts here, but I figured I'd give mine a name just the same. My boat is called "Playin' Hooky" (My last name is Hook, I like playing hooky to go fishing, and when I get out to the honey hole, I'm messin' with tackle, thus the name) I was reading another...

Tried to see if anyone was on the map that Jim used to have up but the link appears to be broken. Wanting to know if anyone in the membership is from my neck of the woods and if so, have you seen any good fishing since the freeze-off this winter. We lost a lot of fish down here in the...

Have no electrical experience. Need help with the wiring of my first build. NOTE: I am going to run two 12v batteries. In my mind, this is how I would like things set up: Front (Bow) Battery will run: Bow Mounted Trolling Motor Rear (Stern) Battery will run: Navigation lights, bow &...

My Tracker 1436 is rated for a 15hp outboard. I have a buddy of mine willing to sell me a great running Evinrude 25hp outboard off of his boat for $200. He's getting rid of everything because he's losing his house to foreclosure and he has to dump the luxury items. The outboard is in...

I know some of you have some great experience on this topic. This is my first build and I was wondering how long I can expect the wood on my boat to last under normal conditions? I more than likely won't fish in the rain, but may have a few days where I get caught out in it. Boat will be...
