^^^Sounds like it might work. If I find myself in that "boat" again, it's worth a try. Thanks!

Can you get it anywhere, such as a hardware store? Might like to try.

The funniest part is he didn't mind. I probably would have been ready to go change clothes, but he was just as ready to be wet & fish 'til the next morning!

5200? What is this? A friend of mine suggested JB Weld. Any thoughs on this? I have the same leaky problems, previously located with above mentioned method. Works great!

Nice boat for the price. Looks like mine as far as shape and size. Welcome & enjoy the boat! I really find this site to be very helpful and I think you'll agree.

I'm just curious about the best way to tackle these darn things, more specifically those just under the surface that you can't see until you're on 'em. See story below for my latest encounter. This past Friday night, a buddy & I went to Lake Palestine to catfish with poles & jugs. Once out from...

Wow, that cameraman has no room!

Never tried that trick before; I'll keep that in mind next time.

...in watermelon candy. Absolutely love it! Caught two lunkers (imo) on two different lakes in the last week with said lure. One being a private lake, so no biggie. The other is a park lake about 7 ac., so the fish have probably seen it all. I normally pull small fry, but got a 3lb 14oz...

^ Agreed. And I thought my 1960 MonArk sounded old. BTW, welcome!

Good luck with your motor. I have a 62 model Sportwin 10 hp & it runs great. Do you know the year on yours? Edit: just saw the other posts about this motor; seen it is a '72.

Just curious, but where is Italy Texas? Oh, and welcome. :wink: Very informative and friendly site.

Welcome! You are right about it being a great river boat. I have a 14' that is perfect for a few of the rivers around here. Have fun & enjoy!

Think you may mean me. If so, I have a 14' jon & yes, I do love the VariMax. Highly recommend it for the money. My 2 cents.

Good to know. I always waited until the night before to recharge; guess I'll change my habit. Thanks.

Okay here's an update for anybody interested. I've got to use it twice since I posted. It took the first outing to get used to the "push-pull" for forward & reverse. Once past that, however, using it has been a breeze. And for me it has plenty of speed, plus the variable speed makes it not as...

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting & informative read.

This model is nice because it gives you what they call BluVis function display. It basically a light graph that shows you speed setting & battery voltage. And it is variable speed which I also like. I will report on how it is as soon as I can get back on the water. Too dang windy here today. :(

Nice boat!

To answer the seat question, I have two in my 14ft with the clamp-ons & I think they are great. Lots better to lean back on than nothing at all. Oh, I too worry about the wake from other boats, but as long as you are aware you should be okay.
