    Windshield reinforcement?

    Hoping I can get some ideas as of what to do here. I pick up this boat up in a few weeks. I am wanting to cut out the brace that is slanted down on either side of the windshield. With out it the windshield flexes quite a bit. I can't rivet anything to it since the glass is real snug up against...

    New boat! Flip up bench seat/deck?

    I pick up my boat in the spring and was wondering if anyone has successfully rigged a flip up bench seat/casting deck? I'm talking about something like this. That's a fancy new lund, but was just looking to see if anyone has built one themselves. Here's some pic's of my boat. It's a freshly...

    Who is making the deepest and widest utility boat?

    So I sold my boat last year to upgrade but never did. Ive been looking at a bunch of side console deep v's and the prices are crazy. The dollar isn't helping us canucks either. So I plan to mod a brand new deep v utility boat.. looking for atleast a 80" beam. Any companies making anything this big?

    Transom question

    Ah, so my 14ft tin project is pretty much complete.. except the transom :evil: You can see in the pictures below that I originally wanted to keep the transom all in one piece, but thats not possible without completely tearing the stern apart. I tried to cut it into 3 pieces, but soon...

    Small upgrade

    I have been running a 1976 merc 7.5hp on my 14ft semi v and I have a guy who will trade me a 1992 merc 9.9hp converted into a 15hp with a bit of extra cash from my pocket. To be honest the 7.5hp is very sluggish with 2 people in the boat + gear and I need a bit more power. Do you guys think it...

    DIY anchor winch?

    So I was at bps earlier on today picking some things up when I noticed they have these really nice electric anchor winches.. for a steep $150. I also saw a manual one for $90, if I were to pay $90 I'd rather pay the extra $60 for a electric one. Anyways, I've looked around online and haven't...

    Batteries, batteries.. batteries :(

    Let me start off by saying I hate doing electrical work, from potlights in my home to wiring up my tinnie. OK. So I have 2 batteries that I got when I bought my boat.. I believe that one is from bps and one is from walmart.. both about the same size as a average car battery. I know that they...

    Towing with sedans

    So I have a 14ft semi v which is really light, I can easily move the trailer around with no problems at all. I checked out the owners manual for my 2004 Mitsubishi lancer ralliart 2.4ltr (165hp/165tq) and it says no towing allowed :| I called u-haul and got a quote for a hitch and wire...

    Experiences with "Gluvit"

    So I am looking into completely coating the inside of my boat with gluvit. From it's description it is supposed to work well taking care of leaky seems and rivets. Does anyone here have any experience with this stuff? It's pretty expensive but if I can trust that it works I have no problem...

    Problem with old merc gears

    So I had to replace the impeller on my old merc this weekend. I was told its a 9.8hp when I bought it but the motor seems kind of small to be that.. im guessing its a 7.5? The serial number starts with 703 and I checked around online and cant seem to find any info on the motor. Anyways, so I...
