I also put battery powered LED lights under the seats, light the boat up nicely without blinding you. It's also easy to tie knots at night since all you have to do is hold the lure below your knees. They rotate with the seats so whichever direction you are facing you have light. Total cost...

How it sits now, put some accessories on it. Rod holder, Fish Finder, new trolling motor, battery and box. Took a dash mounted battery meter and cut a hole in the top of the battery box, siliconed around it and mounted. Works well, out of the way and keeps me from staying out too long...

Good times!

Little update 7 months after putting it in the water, Hasn't leaked one drop of water in it and has stayed in the boat house floating the whole time, I didn't have the drain plug so I put a plumbing fixture in the bottom with a 1" plug and coated it all with the same water proof paint as the...

Not a tin boat but I thought you all might appreciate our camper at Talladega last weekend, needless to say - it was a BIG hit!

Rides great with two adults and a dog in it, hopefully this will help you see how it rides loaded.

Hokie Pokie's got nothing - this is what it's all about! :lol:

Pier is now a boathouse, and in honor of Columbus day (which I have off) the Santa Maria and I will take a long trip Monday.

Leans a little to the right, perfect - the battery will go on the left. I was amazed that I felt comfortable standing on the front deck. Much more stable than I thought it would be.

Just some scraps until I can build/get something better

One thing has been bothering me, the red oil based below the waterline since it will be in the boathouse all the time. Decided to sand it down, put all new stainless hardware in and paint it with the waterproofer. Have an older battery and hopefully will get it in the water tomorrow for...

Thanks, looking forward to it. Would not have been able to do it without the wealth of knowledge here thats for sure!

Since I wasn't sure about the year of my boat I called Alumacraft and the operator put me through to Russ Swenson Alumacraft Vice President. Very cool conversation, he called me back and looked up the number on my transom support for me. Turns out this is a 1956 model F, I was not expecting it...

Home with a sick child today so while she napped I decided to get the back motor mounted. Gears are reversed so it responds normally.

Uploading from my phone so this is taking a while but I got the front TM mounted tonight.

Autumn can get further away from the bank than me right now, but not for long.

Self explanatory

Believe it or not, brush. The paint I used hardends to a glossy finish if you use the right amount, I still need to post what the paint is. If you apply too much then it gasses out and causes tiny air bubbles to form. It's pretty expensive at $100.00 a gallon but that is the benefit to having...

Ken, I'm in Pinson. The tackle box was $8 at Wal-Mart.

Yeah, and you know what they say about one man"s junk. As far as surplus goes - still need to buy 2 batteries, wiring, fishing rod holders, transom hardware, and build a new transom. Still should come in with enough left over to buy bumpers for the boathouse so it doesn't get knocked around too...
