    Dustin's 14ft alumacraft conversion... lots of pictures!

    The 11 inch pedestals i originally had (which put the floor to bottom of seat at 13 1/2) work great. Center of gravity is absolutely zero issue. For while im fishing its all i use. I did get two 6 inch pedestals too. That puts my total height at i think around 8 1/2. And in fact that puts...

    An Alarming Trend. :O

    Yup i got 3 of them. Had 3 outings totalling 10-12 hours probably and i am in love. Kismet had a great review. Comfortable and supporting without being over board. I sat in a buddys boat that has new, but cheap seats in it, it was plenty comfortable for a few hours. When i got home and it...

    They wont let you put the trailer in? Why? Thats quite inconvenient!

    Topper 1436 vs 1542

    Length is personal preference. But width, the more the better. You will not regret the few extra inches wider. You would be suprised but stability will be night and day

    75 johnson 25 hp question

    Shawnfish, thank you! Yeah i love how it turned out. I think everyone would do something a little different, but in the end i think most all of us improve our little boats so much from how they were, that it works out. After fishing in it a couple times i know it is every last bit how i...

    Perch on the lake i was on are always really nice. 12-13 inch, fat, and super healthy never a single worm. And on a 12-13 inch the meat is about equal to a 15-16 inch walleye. There is tons on that lake too.

    Nets!

    I have a frabil orange colored one that colapses into the handle. It rocks!!!! I got it for $60 new so it isnt cheap but it takes less room than a rod and folds open quick. Highly recomended on a small tin!!!!! I dont know what size mine is but i think its the smallest. I figure even a big...

    75 johnson 25 hp question

    Stupid question but never really worked on any sort of motors. Doubt my carbs have ever been cleaned. Motor does run great even after a winter stored and no stable type winterization it started up great and in 3 times out ran good. Last year i just stopped using it and let it sit. I did...
