    1985 Lowe 1648 with flotation pods and aluminum decking

    I believe it originally was a 17" and is now a 20". I also think the base of the pods is 20". I'm going off of memory, though...

    1985 Lowe 1648 with flotation pods and aluminum decking

    https://s1083.photobucket.com/user/Orion_134/library/Boat?sort=3&page=1 The previews are low quality (for some reason), but click them and they get better. Time to sell the hull, I'm tired of it. It leaks in a couple spots. All can be fixed rather easily/cheaply, I just don't have the time to...

    2004 Mercury 25 hp 4-stroke Bigfoot w/center console

    https://s1083.photobucket.com/user/Orion_134/library/Boat?sort=3&page=1 The previews are low quality (for some reason), but click them and they get better. Time to part out my boat. I'm selling my motor with center console and remote throttle/controls. It runs great, starts every time...

    Where did my ads go?

    Yeah apparently people are quick to delete but not quick to inform of any "infractions". At least one mod is cool...

    Where did my ads go?

    I posted last night my 25 Merc and my 1648 Lowe for sale. What happened to my threads?

    Price check on Merc

    I have a Lowe 1648 that I'm thinking about selling with an 04 Merc 25hp 4-stroke Big Foot with center console. I know the bulk value of the boat will be in the motor, so I'm trying to get a good number on what the motor is worth. Starts first try and has never left me stranded. Any ideas...

    Time to redo the transom and add some flotation pods PICS!!!

    Pics are updated in link two replies up. Painted the surfaces with Rustoleum topside primer, then paint, then paint with the grit, then 3-4 more layers to keep the grit down. So far, so good.

    Comparing speed in 1648 with Merc 25

    So after all of my work on the boat, I still get 22-23 mph. I'm going to borrow a tach from someone to see what the motor is turning. This is a 4-stroke center console with 2 people, 2 batts, TM, 2 coolers, 5 gals of gas.

    Time to redo the transom and add some flotation pods PICS!!!

    So far so good! Not playing with height I got the top speed to be 22-23 with two people, two batts, TM, two coolers, and that heavy 4-stroke. Tilt up the motor and it will easily draft about 8" with said equipment. I'm still experimenting to see how shallow it will draft on a plane, but not...

    Comparing speed in 1648 with Merc 25

    Sorry, that is apples to oranges. Your boat is lighter, your engine is lighter and more powerful. Thanks, though.

    Comparing speed in 1648 with Merc 25

    I have a center console 1648 with a Mercury 25HP 4 stroke and can get around 22-23 mph with me and one other in the boat. How does this compare to y'all's similar setups? Thanks, Jesse

    Killing gar and/or bleeding-out?

    Even after sticking an arrow through it, leaving it out of water for two hours, and beating it's head in with a hammer a few times, this thing was still squriming. How do y'all kill it so it is a little less "fun" to clean? Do y'all bleed it out (similar to what must be done for a shark) and...

    Advice on bowfishing bow?

    They told me at the shop that the whisker rest won't reliably hold the heavier arrows. Fact? I called AMS, they said the long rubber piece is to prevent the string from getting under the trigger.

    Advice on bowfishing bow?

    So I got the Diamond, and I have some questions: Biscuit/whisker rest vs Wave Rest? Anyone know why there is a long rubber dongle attached to the retriever handle? I noticed in the photo above it is removed. Taking it out tomorrow, can't wait.

    Advice on bowfishing bow?

    I think I am about to pull the trigger on a Diamond Edge junior bow. We'll know more in the morning, but there is a good chance I'm sticking some fish on Saturday...
