Good day all: I am about ready to pull the trigger on a Sea Ark 1652 MV. I have used several Karavan trailers on other boats, and although OK, and I liked the fact that they were galvanized, they were missing a few of the niceties, such as larger wheels, steps by the fenders, and low ride...

Guys: I thought a wang anchor was a jock strap :mrgreen: Randy

Neat idea. One small word of caution. You have to be very careful about the length of the stud you are threading into the bottom of the camera. It is very easy to punch out the bottom of the tripod socket by screwing it in too far, which will make you cry. I measure the depth, subtract a tiny...

Good day all: I need to replace the winch on my recently acquired Grumman 1449V. I prefer a strap over a cable, but don't have a strong brand preference. This won't be a very heavy rig, but value a good quality winch. Appreciate the groups feed back on what they like. Thanks in advance. Randy

Linehand: I just saw your build thread, which helped better understand what was done. Pretty darn neat! Any thoughts on any loss of hull rigidity from removing the middle bench? This is a pretty sturdy hull, so probably not a real issue, but just curious if you could tell a difference...

Linehand: Thanks for posting the pictures. Sorry for the slow response, out of the loop for a bit. How did you handle the floor? Just resting on the ribs, or built up subfloor? If you have any other pictures of the build, that would be great! I did end up buying the boat in the picture...

Linehand: Thanks for the ID! Do you have a link or pictures of what you did to your boat? I would be very interested to see your mods. Cheers Randy

Linehand: Here is a look at the boat. The mfg. sticker is too worn to read according to the owner. My best guess is that it is a 1449V ? Does yours look like this? In scouring the web, haven't found any pictures of this exact boat to pin down the ID. The two longitudinal ribs, and very...

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your input. The fellow sent along some detailed pictures, and it looks like it is very well built. Cheers Randy

Good afternoon: I am curious what the groups consensus is on the build quality of Grumman jon boats? The model I am interested in is a 1992 1448. Will have to travel to view it, so just doing a bit of research before I make the trip. Thanks for your input. Cheers Randy

Good day all: I just joined today, but have been lurking for a few weeks, looking for ideas. One of the main uses for my boats is waterfowl photography, and I am always tinkering with them to improve my results. My little boat is a 1237 Starcraft jon boat. I am interested in adding some T-slot...
