if you have straight aluminum, you get better results if you use a self ecthing primer... you can use rattle cans, or if you can find it - zinc chromate is the best (not sure if you can still find this stuff). For the paint - I've had best results with Petit Easy Poxy. I've used it on 3 boats...

I emailed you, but so everyone else knows... I got it from FishMate Pro... Pretty sure this guy has gone out of business. He was full of excuses as to why the livewells were not made, some people didn't get them to the specs they ordered, etc etc etc... It took me 9 months to get mine. I would...

Trust me... I already have you on speed dial... and after I look at it, I may have a few more things we may want to do But like we talked about a while back when you were finishing up my boat, I'd like a pedal that goes a little deeper so that I'm actually standing level. BUT.... this has got a...

it better... I'm going to name it Sparkle :lol:

well, I ended up selling my boat before you could install the side bunks... but I told Aaron who to go to if he decides to put them on there

Well... no more aluminum boats for me. Just sold this boat last night in order to purchase (I hope) a 2004 Ranger Comanche 519vx Ranger Cup Edition bass boat with a 200hp Merc... 177 hours on the motor ain't bad at all for that year. I'm going to look at it Sunday, do a compression test and if...

Been awhile since I've been around since getting a new job, but here's some updates... Love the boat and the work Dawson did on it! What I hate... The 9.9 Big Foot. Don't get me wrong, it's a great motor, just not on a behemoth boat of this size. Max speed is just over 7mph, not much faster...

Nice!! I have got to get my boat painted so I can get you to finish up my trailer! If only it will stop raining!

that's the way it's set up... but you can turn one of the ball joints to pump water out, while at the same time having another bilge pump or livewell pump bringing water in

They will get cheaper than that... I keep looking at them throughout the year and they will be marked down even more. I think I paid $115 for my 2 bank, and $150 each for 2 - 3 bank chargers.

Noco Genius chargers... look for them on Amazon. When they run a sale on them, get them! I've used these chargers for the last few years and I've had absolutely no problems out of them... I've tried all the others ones too, but none have compared to this for the price.

Thanks for the info... I'm definitely going to be looking into this.... of course I need another rod like I need another boat.. 36 rods, and 25 of them have reels on them. Those are counting the ones that I gave to my partner with reels already attached.

Does it come with directions on how to do it and all the stuff you need to make it? I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but I just haven't pulled the plug on it. I talked to a guy who makes the rods just like you built (well, same blank) and he said it costs him around $160 once...

holy crap! This would eliminate the need for having multiple units on the boat... you could actually have the finder located in one area of the boat, then carry your ipod wherever you want and still control the unit from it. Now I'm actually glad I have Gen 1 units... otherwise I'd have to go...

that's the first I've seen of those... you'd probably be able to stream Spotify or something like that through it too. That would definitely be awesome if you could download images/recordings from your graph to interface with something like google earth. I've got a satellite radio (separate...

I've got a 1973 Johnson 20hp, as well as a 2006 Mercury Big Foot 9.9 which came with the boat. I'd like to find a 40-50hp tiller steer for a reasonable price... so yea, I'm looking for something a little bigger

3 are for the front TM (36v Minn Kota Fortrex 101) and 3 are for the rear TM (36v Motorguide 109)... and then I have another that runs all the electronics, bilge pump, livewell and anything else that needs 12v Top speed with about 450lbs (2 guys), 7 batteries (350lbs), all the aluminum...

I think you will have plenty of room for 2 rod lockers up each side... if you have 72" across, you can figure the top of each rod locker will be about 18". I will measure mine tonight when I get home and see what they are. But if you have 36" in rod hatch, that still leaves you 36" of floor...

How wide is the top of your boat from one side to the other? I think you would have enough room to put it down both sides. The bottom of my rod locker is about 7" at the bottom, but gets longer towards the top. I was able to access all 8 rods I had in there for our tournament this past Saturday...

Well.. got the rod lockers carpeted and decided to put a piece of carpet on the floor in the area between the front and back deck. Measured, cut and put in place. Pulled back one side and glued it down... went to do the next side and figured I'd speed the process up with the heat gun on the glue...
