    New guy/What is my boat?

    I am not even joking when I say that is the exact same model boat I have! Everything is identical. But my tag in the back is unreadable. :( I have been trying to find out what type of boat it is for quite some time but have never seen anything quite like it. I'll be posting pictures of my...

    Alumacraft row boat rebuild

    I'm going to get one of those hydrofoils. Sounds like the ticket for me too.

    Alumacraft row boat rebuild

    Thanks Jimmy, I know I could make it stronger with different materials but of course with these tiny little tin cans every bit of weight is critical. But for me, a strong rod holder is the most important. I won't be Salmon fishing or anything but a 12 LB laker is a possibility. I think your...

    Alumacraft row boat rebuild

    Thanks for the video! Do you think it would hold up to two dipseys or two planers each side? I am sure I could run a couple braces down to the floor to secure it.

    Alumacraft row boat rebuild

    I REALLY like your boat. It is set up a lot more for walleye fishing/trolling than the bass boats I see on here. I am very interested in maybe getting a few more pictures of how you mounted your rod holder rails. I need something very similar but I also intend to fish dipsey divers for lake...

    Where to mount rod holders and other stuff?

    Do you have a picture of your boat somewhere on here. I can't for the life of me see how those "rivnuts" would work unless you have a different rail than I have ever seen. I have given it a little more thought though and I think the best way would be to cut a piece of stainless or thick...

    Where to mount rod holders and other stuff?

    Pulling this thread back up to the top because I have been contemplating this for a while as well. I think the best solution I cam up with is mounting straight through the sides with through bolts. On the outside I will cut a small stainless steel plate to prevent pull through. My other...

    Questions for setting up boat

    Thanks for the suggestion! I have used those rod holders before in a friends boat and really liked them. Unfortunately they will not work for this little boat. They do not have the adjust-ability that I will need for running planers, divers, and lead core... sometimes all at the same time if I...

    Questions for setting up boat

    Thanks for the info ringo! That really does make me feel as if there is something wrong with the motor. Of course I can't test it with ice on the lake but next spring I will get this all sorted out. I don't know too much about the prop selection and such but the Merc does have a twin blade...

    Anti-virus opinions

    The single most impotant piece of software one can have is Malwarebytes. It isn't an antivirus but is an anti-malware that will catch and remove most malicious software that is hidden. I never recommend any paid versions of antivirus. I use Avast and AVG as my mains. I will also run...

    Questions for setting up boat

    I have to be honest this is a :oops: moment. I really don't know for sure. I have to assume it is because it runs like a top and if I can recall correctly I actually did check that both were firing when I went through and rewired a few things in the spring. The motor runs better than any...

    Questions for setting up boat

    I just finalized the purchase on this boat from my uncle today. I also have the choice between the two motors so I can in fact run both next year to see which one runs better. The Johnson motor is a 1974 so it seems that this would be in the category that could be made in to a 15hp easily. I...

    Questions for setting up boat

    I would be very interested in this and would in fact make this swap if it is possible to do. What info would be needed to make sure this swap is possible and how would one find out if the parts are readily available to do the swap?

    Questions for setting up boat

    Hello, first post here but have been lurking for quite some time. I am not a forum newbie and understand the use of search functions are highly encouraged and I never pass up using them before posting. That said here is the short story. Just got back in to fishing after going threw a crazy...
