Yep, that’s the location. So is that supposed to be the original drain location?makes sense because It looks like someone added a garbord drain into the boat. I’ve never seen a plug system like this, thanks

Anyone know what this is supposed to be for?

It’s a 96 Crestliner 1452 (I think). Gonna do a tricked tins style, Florida Flats edition build. Here’s a link to my original thread from over 10 years ago: I was right! There was an other one! Pics are in its current state. PS: If anyone has some tips on tig welding on a jon boat they’d be...

Not 100% sure but i think pressure treated and aluminum do not mix well... i would go marine grade or spend a little more and use aluminum...

To be honest I havnt even thought about the thermostat... I guess that could be it but it does it all day, even when it's warmed up though... And when I have the muffs on it gets a pretty constant stream even when it's cold... I guess because water is being forced into it... I dunno, I'm at a...

Hey everyone, I just replaced the impeller on my 96 30 hp Merc. When I took the old one out it didn't look too bad, but I had it out and had a new one so I replaced it. When I'm at idle it barely if at all pees, when I'm at wot it streams out but not very powerful like it should. At first I...

You'll be alright with the chop saw with a metal cutting blade, just don't force it and wear you some glasses... And it's best not to wear flip flops or crocs, take it from me... Personal experience... Ou might want to hit the back side with a flap disk too to get rid of the sharp edges... I've...

sorry, could not figure out how to put up more than 1 pic at a time...

Big, I know what you mean about the side console. Took it out for a test ride the other day, it leans a little with just me in it,l i dont really like that... Honestly i didnt plan on keeping it anyway, i wanted a center console but due to lack of funds i cant right now and i want to go...

So I've got the console built and the helm mounted, all I need to do now is mount the controls, switch panel, fishfinder, and radio and speakers. I have more pics of the process but I havnt been able to get to the computer since I've been using my time to build the boat... Ya with that console...

Lookin good so far man, you're not coming along too badly, I'd pe happy going at that pace. At least you're doing it right the first time, I'm just slapping stuff together in hopes to get on the water this weekend at the latest... And about the girlfriend, I hear ya, mine loves to fish though so...

Things I need to get on the water... Side console built Wiring nightmare addressed and rewired Find a place for the battery and the gas tank Things I want to do in the future after the fishing monkey is off my girlfriend and I's backs Paint the floors and decks with something someone recommends...

For sure man, I hope to have it in operable condition by tomorrow afternoon... So I can at least test it out, and hopefully fish next weekend. There is so much I want to do to it but my budget and need for a tug on the line far outway what I WANT to do, so for now I'm gonna get it fishable, and...

He said something to the effect of, his dog could get in it and keep cool, he was going to mount some fans in it also... I personally would not have let my dog anywhere NEAR that wiring, for fear of him getting the dog sh!t (no pun intended) shocked out of him, especially if he liked to swim...

Oh ok, I got you now... No, a mail box is only about half the size... Lol, that **** thing was about 5 foot wide, and heavier than hell, we couldn't lift it off, we had to roll it off and let it hit the dirt after I cut the **** part out that the steering wheel was attached to cuz I couldn't...

Not so sure I get what you're talking about...

AHAHAHAH! I almost fell out when I first got there between the big honkin console and that **** jack. It does have a regular jack that works but I guess his truck was lifted or something... It was sketchy to say the least while climbing in it...

I just bought a 14' mod v Jon, the guy actually called me from Craigslist. Its a little over a 5'6" beam Has a '96 remote 30hp Merc with a hydraulic jack plate One seriously huge fiberglass center console out of a full size trophy, in desperate need of removal and replaced with a side console...

Spiderwire is crap... Power Pro is pretty good and I've cought lots of big fish on it and never had it break, I have had many hooks straighten, and actually had a hook pull out of a lure, but never had Power Pro break off, unless it was intentional. Recently, I got a spool of Ohero braid at the...
