    Adding a sailing rig to a 12 ft mod v Sears

    Overall, it shouldn't be too hard to do, just build in a mount for your mainsail. But I'm not sure how you'd go about doing the running board (center board? I forget the name). I used to sail with my dad when I was a kid. Little 14' FB sailing boat. Nothing fancy. But I do remember that if...

    Nope, that's the problem. Plates are gone, been painted over, can't find anything for ID. I'm still 90% sure that it was on the up and up, i.e. not stolen. I did some checking locally,and the place I bought it is pretty well respected. They do custom mods for jonboats, and have a pretty good...

    This... I have the exact same boat, and have been watching this project with excitement to see what you're doing and how that will work with what I want to do. I can't see how having the highest decks only an inch higher than the seats would make it wobbly, but that seems to be the concern of...

    Well, I'm in Indianapolis, IN actually. Wish I was in IL, it's a lot easier there than here. For titling the trailer, that takes 2 visits from a police officer to do a VIN search + fill out forms twice also a mailing round with the DMV (won't take it in person, has to be mailed). So about a...

    That would really help. Here's what I have RIGHT NOW: TM Sonar Livewell pump. I want to add lights for night fishing and maybe some other stuff, haven't thought too much for electronics yet. I'm trying not to have to get more than the one battery if possible. With regular charging, I...

    Painting, definately. Steel flex for the bottom. I'm thinking Black Steel, Red Rustolium and blue side bumpers. I saw another boat in those colors and they were awesome. A buddy of mine suggested greenish or just plain white for the bottom (try to hide the boat from the fish), so the colors...
