Its not much to look at, but at least I know the fish are biting. Here are some pics of what I caught yesterday. Its a lake in Indiana called Winona Lake. I caught these in the channel. I threw them all back because i didnt think that I would catch 22 of them. I was over in the same spot two...

I am hoping to get it out soon. The winter still isnt quite done here in Northern Indiana. We actually had a few flurries yesterday. The ice is off the lake though. I dont think it will take to much longer to warm up. I am ready to get to the lakes. To answer the question on how I attached it...

Also, In the pics of the two guys in the boat. I am the one on the RIGHT. The other guy is my buddy that was helping me with the mod.

Well, the project is finally done. Now all I need is water. I think that it turned out really good for my first project boat. As for the plywood issue, I had already bought the plywood and attatched it before I ask about it. My only thing is, one of the guys at Menards told me that I "COULD" use...

Once again a litlle more work has been done. I have now got the front deck attached with stainless steel self tapping screws and the front seat mounted. Tomorrow night should be the finishing touches. I have to attach the back dexck and the back seat. More pics when finished.

This is the best dog that I have ever had!! My hunting buddy.

Here are a few more pics of the work today. Its coming along good. I do have one question though. Why can you not use treated plywood because "I DID"? Does it do something to the aluminum? Dont have much more to do and it will be a completed project. Will post more pics soon.

I have done a little more work. Got the front storage compartment cut, and the carpet for it put on. Have to cut out a little more. Didnt realize the carpet was that thick. I guess you learn from yourself. Going to work on it tomorrow, hope will have all the carpet put in and going to start...

Well, i got my tax check. I bought two new seats, swivels and mounts. I also bought two new anchors and all new ropes. Here is a pic of what the decks look like now. I will be doing a little more this weekend. I am going to get some stainless bolts to attach everything, and doing the carpet. If...

This is what I got done today. I took out the seats, all the old rope, and all the old wood. Whoever had the boat before me that put the other seats on used untreated wood and it was all rotted. The boat measures 44 1/2 in at the back. It is 48'' in the middle on the top. Here are a few pics of...

Well, did a little drawing on paint. I think i might give this a try. This will be my 1st time doing this so hopefully i dont mess anything up. I have decided to leave all the seat in for support. Here is my idea, let me know what you guys think. I will try to post pics tomorrow. It looks like...

Thanks for all the info. This helped alot. I was actually worried that if it wasnt spraying water the the water pump might be bad. I actually talked to my grandpa today. He is retired from Chrysler and knows quite a bit about them. He basically said the same thing as u guys. It is not suppose to...

Well, as some of the other guys said, I am still fighting the 10-30 degree weather. We did have one day it was 52, but the lakes are still froze solid. Getting fishing fever. Cant wait to get out. You all had some good pics, congrats to all. Mine will be soon.

I am no mechanic when it comes to boat motors. just had a quick question. I have read up on some of the other posts and it kind of answered my ? but then again it didnt. My motor is listed in the subject. My ? is when I hook my motor up and let it run with a hose it doesnt seem to be streaming...

I have a 76' 15HP Chrysler and it only weighs about 60#. Its is two-storke though. I dont know if that would make a difference, but I dont see why it would. Seems like all the older motors are alot lighter than the ones produced these days. I have it on a 12' Sears. Moves along pretty good...

Thats awsome.. reminds me of childhood and losing teeth.

Thats pretty funny. Made me laugh!!!

Well, there are a few lakes in Northern IN that have muskie. I caught my out of the Tippacanoe River, but that river runs from Tippacanoe lake. They are also in Pike lake, Webster Lake, Wawasee Lake, and I am sure there are more. That just mentions a few. Mine really wasnt that big if you...

Yeah, its a 48'' I am 6'5'' and 240lbs. I not a small guy...LOL I was excited to get it. No I didnt eat it, I took it to a local taxadermist and he mounted in for me. Looks great on the wall.
