Hi everyone, back in October I bought myself a project; an old Landau jon boat that I converted into a "Lund". I made an introductory post for it in the fall and it's somewhere on this site. In March and April nearly every weekend was spent fixing it up with hopes it would be ready by first week...

Hi all, I recently purchased a bow mount Minnkota trolling motor for my 14 foot jon boat. The boat isn't a modified V, so unfortunately I will have to go through the extra work to create my own mounting platform, and to install it onto deck once the front casting deck is built. I'm wondering...

Hi Tinboats.net, it's been a while. I haven't posted here since 2008 when I was involved in my 1979 fiberglass Lund rebuild..... it's somewhere on this site. A few months ago I acquired a 14ft jon boat. Having never painted a boat before, I have a few questions concerning the paint job...

Hi all. A few weeks ago I completed my second rig. This is kind of like a new "rig", but not really. But I would like to think it is new. I've had this 12ft aluminum boat since 2006. It is a 12-foot Sears boat that I bought on Ebay. For three years, this boat didn't have a proper trailer so...

After a long ice season and closed gamefish season in WI, I will be reunited with my boat in 2 weeks. I might have posed this question sometime last year, but does anyone have any recommendations for restoring the color of fiberglass? I need to spruce up the redness. Look closely and my...

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've made a visit. I finally have another little modification project to work with!! :) Here's my situation. I would only do this for the Walleye fishing, and I would only have my transom mounted Minn-Kota on the boat when Walleye fishing. My boat has a goofy...

July 27 thru August 8, 2008 Just got back from a little 2-week trip to the north. The first week was spent exclusively with the family so not much fishing, exploring, and adventuring was done.... I did get some decent fishing time in though. After the family trip, I wasn't home for more than...

This winter I plan on getting a new fish finder/sonar unit for the boat. Right now I'm using two basic Garmin Fishfinder 240's, one for casting deck and other is next to my steering wheel. I am extremely partial to Garmin but can also settle for a Humminbird. I don't like Eagle or Lowrance...

Like many here, I'm a die-hard fisherman. However, I have yet to post a report here, ever, so I thought I might as well for a change. Last week I was fishing up north in Northern Wisconsin - have a house up in Vilas/Oneida co. so I spend a TON of time up there each year. Wish I could live there...

The red color of my boat is noticeably fading as some sections of the red are turning into a minor off-white/yellow color. (not huge but you can see it if you look closely) When I did my boat overhaul and fixing earlier in the year, painting the exterior is really the only thing I didn't do...

Last week or the week before, I made a brief post about my boat and showed you guys the rig I was working with. A 1979 Lund Guide Series 315 with a 28HP Evinrude SPL. When the post was made, I have everything set in place except for the trolling motor, the electronics, and the mounting...

Hi, I've got a 12-foot row-boat that is permanently docked up at my place in WI on a little lake, and I am interested in getting a small trailer for it sometime during the next few months. I want something so I can trailer the little boat around to the numerous "ponds" and hidden little lakes...

Hi guys, after months of reading (yes, months) I finally took the initiative to join this site. The stuff you have here and the things I see are just awesome! Anyways, back in October I bought a really dilapidated 1979, 15ft Lund Guide Series 315 tri-hull/fiberglass boat.... All for $900.00...
