Those are some nice size cats. With your pole set-up I bet you thought you were fighting a shark! :LOL2:

I have the exact same boat but mine is an 1987 model. The 4.0 is fine, I have a 7.5 and it gets me to and from without any problems. I also installed a small deck and mounted a my TM on the bow. This way it feels more balanced out...motor and tank in back, TM and battery up front. As far...

Well if you were fishing with "live" baits and it was working out, just buy something that looks like those. Other than that, senkos, flukes, brush hogs work wonders for bass. Match color to surroundings or water color. And dont go crazy with buying a million different colors and types of...

Thanks for the heads up, signed up and hoping for the best!

WOW, thats a heck of a boat! I be really nice to the fiance or she will take it back from you :LOL2: ! LOL

Then it would be their loss and your gain. If I had the cash I would have bought a bigger motor and newer one too. With a 25 and a 14 foot boat you will be doing good. I have a 14 foot and a 7.5 and its Ok. Gets me to the fish though.

Not sure on how reliable they are but with a 9 year old motor and only 10 hours on it? That would be my question to ponder!

Good luck, the more beers the easier the decision might be....hint hint

Didnt know that store bought chicken liver was purified and most of my catfish have come off of store bought liver from Wally World. My biggest cat came from Secret7, but that was during the summertime when the scent can run in the warmer waters. My other fishing buddy uses Chovies and has...

I was in the same situation you are now. In November my wifey gave me an allowance of $1400 and said go get your tin boat....here I am now and just a week ago I finally picked up my boat. I scanned CL and the local area for months. You have to be patient on this purchase, because you are...

Since I just bought my first boat and joined the site, here is mine. 1987 Sears 1432. Dont plan on doing much, maybe a good cleaning and a paint job. Mostly going to be used to take my son and I out fishing on the weekends, time is short as they grow up way to fast these days.

Thx, I will try them out

to bad we didnt live closer to each other. I am selling my bow mounted motor. It has foot controls and a wireless remote too.

I thought about disconnecting them prior to dropping the trailer but didnt know if that was normal until I saw this post. Glad I did now. Even if they are water proof and all that I will just make it part of my routine as some others have stated.

WOW that really turned out nicely. I think the red stripe gives it some class to.

Jim/Fool4Fish, thanks for the welcome. I am already using the boards for information and plan on being an active member helping out whenever I can too.

If you bought the HF trailer it should have came with the brackets and wood pieces. I would recommend buying new wood pieces and making them longer. They only come about 3 feet in length.

I have to take a closer look at it but I didnt see a lock to set when it is in the down position. And yes the one in the transom is the exact same as the ones down the motor area. But they dont fit when the motor is in the down position. I know almost nothing about motors since this is the...

I just picked up this boat and motor and have a newbie question. In the picture I am not sure what to do with the pin. When I got the motor the pin was in the forward position to keep the motor up, but I also see the other slots that it can go into when the motor is down, correct? If so, it...

My name is Rick and tonight I finally purchased my tin boat, a 1987 14ft gamefisher with a 7.5hp gamefisher motor, sounds like it was sale day at Sears when they bought it. He also gave me his 50lb MK copilot and an Eagle Strata FF. I will be the third owner and hope to take it out tomorrow...
