    What's it worth? > 16' Alumaweld w/40HP Yamaha

    I know it's hard to price a boat without seeing it in person, but I'm interested in buying a boat from a friend and I'm not sure what it's worth. I couldn't find many similar boats for sale on our local Craigslist to compare this one too. The boat seems to be in great working condition, and...

    New personal best hybrid

    I took my buddy out fishing this weekend in 40 degree weather and we got into some good hybrids out on the Ohio River. After an hour of fishing, he drifted down in front of me to chat and had a line dragging behind his canoe which went off in a big way :) After a 20minute battle, he pulled out...

    1993 25hp Evinrude electric start -missing linkage cable?

    I just started a new thread for my latest build, a 1993 Tracker Sweet 16. It has a 1993 25hp Evinrude electric start which I believe is missing some parts. I cannot get the full story from the previous owner but he said the ex-wife pulled something loose during an argument. While that should...

    HOUSE's 16' Tracker Sweet-16 MOD (tinboat #2!)

    Ohio River lunkers

    Hey guys, I haven't posted on here in a while because I've been fishing out of my kayak more than my tinboat mod. I haven't let the winter slow me down, though, and I have been killing it here in Ohio. Here are a few of the big fish I've landed in the last few weeks using mostly vertical jigs...

    1/7/2013 Ohio River multi-species day

    While most of my friends are locked inside hiding from the cold here in Ohio, I've been taking my kayak out in the 30degree weather to chase some winter fish down. I've been hitting the Ohio River lately, targeting white bass and hybrids using blade baits and vertical jigs with pretty good...

    Engine flooding if it doesn't pull-start on the first try?

    Hey guys, I posted this on my build page, but wanted to ask in this forum to get more feedback. Re: 1996 Force 9.9hp outboard (pull-start): My motor starts up 95% of the time on the first pull. However, if for whatever reason it doesn't, it will not start on the second or third pull unless I...

    Ohio Hydrids

    The Fall bite is definitely on down here in Southwestern Ohio. I've been taking my kayak out on the rivers that dump into the Ohio River chasing stripers and hybrids all year. This month has brought some good ones in. Here are a few of my favorites catches from my latest trip: 23incher...

    Hilton Head Island, S.C. (July 2012): Speckled Trout & Reds

    Hilton Head Island, S.C. (July 2012): Hey guys, I just got back and posted this report on my local fishing forum. It's certainly sad to be back in my office, but I'm glad I had a good trip. I didn't get many fishing hours in overall due to family activities, but I fished quite a bit for...

    Fly Fishing Report (Seneca Falls, WV)

    I had the pleasure of spending 5 days in the WV wilderness this past week with a good friend from work. He grew up in WV and has been fly fishing the area around Seneca all his life, so I was very fortunate to get the invite. I'm also a novice fly fisherman and after 5 days of fishing with this...

    1996 Force 9.9HP impeller question (video included!)

    Hey guys, My boat sat in my garage for a year while I worked on it and I just fired it up this week for the very first time. Believe it or not, the 2-stroke started up on the first pull (pheeew!). After running it on idle for 10 minutes I rev'ed it a few times and finally got the smoke to...

    Caught two 15+ pound gar yesterday :)

    Fished the Little Miami River here in Ohio yesterday and got into some good white bass in my modded inflatable raft. While we drifted a large pool ripping jerkbaits, my line got nailed by a monster gar which pulled us 100yrds down stream. I battled it in the middle of the river and captured a...

    Battery question: best battery for the job: small+1hour life

    Hey guys, I'm modifying an inflatable boat to use on some rivers and I have to row about 1-2 miles to a spot which takes about an hour upstream depending on the river flow (and only 30min downstream if I can get a friend to go and bring a second car). I'm looking for a light weight/inexpensive...

    HOW-TO-GUIDE: Wiring your tin boat...Where to begin?

    Wiring your tin boat… where to begin? A how-to guide for rookies. When I first began the wiring part of my boat mod, I was totally overwhelmed by the thought of all of the electrical components and where to begin. I knew that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t sure how to work with fuses, wire...

    Wiring sketch with 3 questions (included picture and links)

    First off, God bless all of you electrical gurus that reply to all of these types of threads. I can't explain how hard trying to figure out this wiring stuff has been, even after reading through all 50 pages of this forum. I feel like I'm trying to learn Chinese algebra! When I finally get...

I live in Ohio and we had a strange warm spell roll through here and I went out fishing yesterday to one of my favorite retention ponds. Weather unstable: rainy and 45*degrees the day before, 61*...

    First bass of the year (go Ohio!)

    Friday brought with it a rare winter 51 degree day here in Cincinnati so I took advantage of it and hit my favorite hot spot on the Little Miami River. It sure felt great getting out on the water again. Here is the view when I arrived: What a beautiful warm, sunny day. I had forgotten...

    Ohio Retention pond lunker hunting

    I've been out twice this week in between rain storms searching for some lunker largemouths right in people's backyards. Some of the best fishing I have found all summer is in the retention ponds right behind a lot of subdivisions, malls, and office complexes. I usually ask permission if it...

    East Fork (Cinci,OH: 10/8/2011)

    I had a great outing on Saturday (10/8/2011) out here in Cincinnati, OH. My friend and I fished from 8am-1pm, targeting largemouth bass and then hybrid stripers that are stocked in this reservoir. It took a while to find the fish, but after we did it was non-stop hybrid striper action for at...
