I have a 1856 sea sprite Jon with a 50 hp Tohatsu jet. I was running down river in a channel that is only a few yards wide (real shallow on each side). The river turns to the left and you cannot see downstream far, well sure enough as I came around the bend a bunch of kayaks were blocking the...

Here are some before and after photos of my 1856 sea-sprite Jon boat with a 50hp Tohatsu jet. It took forever to de-yellow it. It was a airport crash recovery and search boat. Fantastic river boat. I got it done just in time to get some summer small mouth and cat fishing in.

I have a 50hp tohatsu model # m50d2, without the key on the motor rose (Trim and tilt) to the up position, I cannot get it to go back down. I hit the down switch and the solenoid clicks. I have checked and there is power to the switch and the solenoids (2 solenoids one -up and one- down). I...

I started my restoration of my Sea Sprite1850 Jon boat with a 50 horse jet. Of coarse there's more wrong with it than planned. I plan on moving the batteries towards the bow. As a typical Jon boat the keel curves up towards to bow, so the front 38 inches(floor)are not flat. I plan on decking it...

I'm restoring an 1848 sea sprite. I'm decking the front and back. My question is it easier to make the hatch square, or round the edges. I like the way the rounded edges look,might be hard to cut out. I'll be carpeting it after I'm done. When I cut the hatch out of the deck ( using 3/4 plywood)...

My project boat is a 18 foot Jon boat (painted ugly safety yellow, it was a search and rescue boat). I stripped the paint off the outside. I was going to keep it bare aluminum. However someone wired wheeled the heck out of the sides and I cannot get a nice shine without sanding most of the boat...

I have a Motor Guide Energy 46 pound. It is a rear mount or regular mount. I would like to use it on the front of my jon boat. It will be backwards if I mount the way it is. My question can the head or the prop be rotated for use up front. If so is it easy to do.

This will be a sad weekend, in Northeast Pa its getting too cold to fish. Its time to winterize boats. This is the first year I own a jet. It will be outside over winter. This is what I've done so far, I put stabilizer and ethanol treatment in the fuel. I ran the engine to ensure the treated...

I purchased a used Sea Sprite 18 foot Jon Boat. It was painted, I've stripped it down to bare aluminum. The previous owners used a wire wheel to ruff up the paint. I would like to sand the wire wheel marks out, but I don't want to over sand. What grit sand paper should I use. I was thinking 400...
