Looking to get a New fish finder/graph for my newest 16' V-hull aluminum boat project that I'll be returning to come springtime (or at least when the temps here in Michigan get out of the subzero range & into the mid 40's). I use to just buy a $80.00-$100.00 Eagle fish finder (or find a decent...

The Ar-15 platform, with the AK-47 magazine & shoots the 7.62 x 39. If so, what's your impression & specifically why? https://www.gunsandammo.com/reviews/rock-river-arms-lar-47-review/

Hello all; I've been here on ole' TinBoats on & off for 6+ years & I've enjoyed looking at many of the mods, throwing my 2 cents in here & there etc.. (still gotta get the posting pics trick down pat so I can actually post some of my modest work but, that's a another issue for another time..)...

Hello all; Getting ready to start a new boat project (maybe.. :-k ). It's an aluminum 1976 "Browning Aerocraft Super Guide 16" 5' wide, deep & 16' long. It came with a 1988 40hp Nissan OB (controls included) & a decent trailer with 12" tires (initial cost $425.00-gotta love CL!!). The motor...

Hello; I just brought another boat & it has a 1988 40hp Nissan outboard #NS40C with full controls. The starter is shot (it was all rusted to Hell-I'm guessing it's the original). With the help of a neighbor friend of mine, I cleaned it up & tried rebuilding it but, it still doesn't function...

Hello; Admittedly I know very little about jet motors, wave runners etc.. However I am absolutely in love with their go-almost-anywhere-a-outboard-can't shallow water capabilities. Anyway, I accidentally ran into these Mokai Kayaks on a local craigslisting (see Mokai.com). They say they're only...

Hello; Back in February I purchased a 1988 Nissan 5hp (#NS5B). Looked great, started great, great compression, lower unit oil was great etc.. Anyway, the catch is..It's not pumping water (feel air but no moisture). I removed the lower unit, took off the pump housing bolts & low & behold there...

Hello; I currently have an opportunity to buy a "new 25hp motor" (with controls) at a really great price. Therefore, I am contemplating putting a long shaft 1991 Mariner 25hp with controls on my modified Meyers 15' Aluminum semi-V. The transom is roughly 15" or so. A local marine mechanic said...

Hello; I May be slightly behind the times but, I've been debating whether or not to open the ole' wallet & buy a Rapala Scatter Rap or not. I don't know about anybody else but $8.00-$10.00 for a single lure seems a bit steep. Can you just imagine losing it on a snag #-o Anyway, has anybody...

Hello; I was needing to know if there is ANY fundamental difference between a 1982 E25ECNE Evinrude CARBURETOR vs a 1982 E35ECND Evinrude CARBURETOR? I've looked at exploded diagrams of both carbs & can't see a lick of difference between the two. Are they interchangeable? I own the 25hp...

Hello All hope your summer is going well; Onto my problem, I have a 1982 25hp Evinrude with controls on my 14.5' Meyers mod (post pics of finished project this fall). Anyway, the motor at idle mode/slow speeds misses frequently & when I go to open it up in gear, it doesn't plane out at all-...

A friend was telling me about this. And I was curious on how it might work as a possible water protection on plywood boat decking that eventually will be covered in carpet? Durability? Thanks in advance

Injury you have sustained? I know a strange topic but, I recently drove a 18v impact driver with a screw driver attachment right into my left forefinger (holding the screw & it slipped) & now 2 days later the wound is healing up but now my finger is starting to look like a Massey's Thanksgiving...

Hello Gang Got a new boat project that I am currently working on (14' Meyers Semi-V, wide flat bottom). Hopefully when I feel I've made enough significant headway, I'll post pics. Anyway, I want/like to remove the middle bench seat (which, like the other 2, runs straight down to the floor & is...

Straight to the point: I am looking for a boat narrower than a jon/rowboat boat with a V-Hull front but wider & more stable than a canoe for the river I mentioned in a previous post. Is there such a thing as a row boat canoe crossover boat? Not interested in a Drift Boat (from what I've seen...

Based on some of the replies to my post about jet powered Jon boats suggesting that I give serious consideration to a Mud Buddy style motor, I went to a local marine shop & checked them out today. And after the sticker shock wore off, I got to wondering if anyone here had successfully made a...

Hello all; I fish a river in mid-Michigan called The Shiawahsee River (bottom is 98% of the time gravel & the occasional big smooth rock). One minute it can run from 3'-5' & the next 2"-3" deep. Where I live there is no public launch within 20 miles. The current speed I am guessing is 3-4mph...

Hello All; After numerous unsuccessful research attempts, I am hoping some generous soul here can offer some helpful tips. [-o< The gellcoat on the metal flake portion of my bass boat feels rough & has no gloss to it at all. Fiberglass color restorer has done really nothing & then someone...

After years of lusting after & dreaming about it, last night I FINALLY got my very first legitimate Bass Boat! \:D/ A 1978 Monark "Fast 15" (15'). I got in trade for a 1974 15.5' "Fabuglass" Tri-Hull Boat (last pic) that I initially picked up for a measly $200.00 off CraigsList. I had nothing...
