New to me, loving it so far but need to work out some more storage. The side compartments open and are pretty decent for tossing things in for the day but i have them stuffed with plastic flip boxes for tackle, spools of line, loose stuff i randomly through in there, etc. Just a **** mess! The...

Lakeland here, looking for other folks in the area to post reports. Banana Lake in South Lakeland seems to be over populated with Tilapia everywhere i go. I see large (MASSIVE) schools on the ol fish finder and cant seem to actually catch one to see what it is, though i know of many guys who...

Just purchased a new boat, 1989 Grumman with a 4 stroke 30hp Merc. It has the hydraulic pump that is adjusted (down only obviously) by a small lever. of course, when i need it back up, i have to lift it manually. The question is, couldn't i somehow add an electrical something to push it back...

Long story short, downsizing quite a bit from a Hurricane Deckboat and a SeaPro Center consule, both 21ft... Going back to my JonBoat roots. Wife and 3 little girls under 7. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND This time i want to get something that all of the family can fit on for some river runs while...

not too sure what to do here or even where to start with this post. . . i have always had a jonboat of sort and tried to get a bayboat but wasnt the same. i miss the fresh water. so now i am back at it trying to find ideas before i look for something to buy. i want something that we can all...

So i was out just tooling around with my dad and daughter, ran through a shallow spot and that was it. Couldn't go fast anymore, only about 2 or 3 mph. when i rev the motor, it just acts like it doesnt have a prop. idle it home and noticed oil was coming out of just above the prop area. i...

Original Build - https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20339 Happy but not. 2 years ago i made this out of wood and not too thrilled with the outcome. Nothing is as I now realize I want. I am asking for everyone's input on this and how I should go this round. I think aluminum...

runs perfect, no problems but curious about possibilities of prop change and gains. recently loaded up the boat with a little more weight than normal in my 12ft v hull. i had to have the guy in the front lean over the bow for a few min to get on plain. When it is just me, or someone else with...

is this legal? do the brake lights need to be of certain sizes or anything? i used to have an offroad jeep and didnt want to have bulky lights hanging out to get broken off. so i installed some of these type LED strip lights. worked GREAT! watreproof too! and trust me, they are plenty bright...

just got the trailer. when i got there i realized it was home made. since i was minutes away from picking up the boat and no other way to get the boat home, i decided to just buy it and fix it up later. tires are good, lights work and i had a 4 hour drive home. screw it. so now i have it and...

only way to get it started is to spray starter fluid in the carb, full choke and 60% throttle. from there it sounds fine but will die and need to repeat previous steps to start bad up. also, we are not too sure how to adjust the low speed knob. how many 1/2 turns or full turns out from...

Hey everyone, Brian here from South Florida. Just this past weekend i picked up a 12" v hull boat that i grew up on with my dad. very excited to get a deck in there and add my own touch from all the nice projects i see on here. the only problem is, i am unsure where to start. i see people using...

hey everyone, just picked this up for $35 bucks. long story but the guy i got it from had a mechanics list and recipet of all the items replaced and or tested to be working. basically i think the previous owner had it restored or something. anyways, i have yet to try and start it but needed to...

Just picked up my dads old boat that I kinda grew up on. Trying to figure out what model it is so that I can get some specs on it. Its a 12" (11.5 actually) v hull with nothing more than a hull ID # 1501624016 and the title says 1960 which I am not too sure how accurate it is or not. Also says...
