I was planning building a new boat using my old Sportjet 120 this winter, but saw this one for sale, and decided to go for it instead. It's a 15' Bratt Trapper kit with a Kawasaki 15F (4 stroke fuel injected)... with UHMW bottom. I can't wait for spring to try it out on the water, it looks...

This project has just sat and sat, I don't see me doing anything with it this winter, so I'm offering it for sale. See my build post here for pics: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24908 I basically stopped doing anything at the end of that thread, short of putting the 120hp...

This isn't mine... but I like the 3/16" bottom! Looks like a jetski powerplant? What do you guys think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/19-foot-custom-aluminum-boat/183438309259?hash=item2ab5c6778b:g:51gAAOSwCmlbhdLE

I usually just fish for panfish, where I bring a bucket of water and bring them home live and wack 'em on the head with a hammer before cleaning. I tried bringing a cooler of ice so I could kill the fish in the boat, and put them on ice, but I caught a catfish and I couldn't figure out how to...

Does anyone know what Sportjet engines can be swapped around based on the shape & size of the "box" that the sportjet mounts to? For example, I have a boat with a 1997 95XR and I swapped in a 120XR and everything is the same. Are all sportjets the same or are there breakdowns for different...

This may interest you river guys, in a car crash sort of way: I took a 1997 18' Bass Tracker with 90 Sportjet, added a 2" elevated tunnel. Put HardLine on the bottom. Replaced engine with 120hp SJ. Took it on the river, was in love with how it ran/performed, but then nailed an underwater rock...

I'm redoing my boat, have all the interior out, except all the water-logged floatation foam between the ribs that was under the floor. The ribs are C-channel and criss-crossed, so that foam is tight. Anyone have tips on how to remove it? I've been using the back of a claw hammer, taking it out...

Is this possible? I assume not, because the plastic wouldn't be tight against the boat. This is for a 18' boat that doesn't go over 25mph, usually less. On the other hand, if you took the time to countersink where the rivets are... maybe? I'm weighing options... if I did the UHMV I have...

I have a ton of solid rivets I need to remove... I've been doing this by grinding the rounded head off and then using a punch to drive the core out. The problems with this technique are: 1) I tend to grind a little bit of the boat 2) Once you grind the head flush with the boat, it's hard to see...

I have a 1997 Tracker 185 Pro Jet I bought off eBay a few years ago. It's got a Mercury Sportjet 95XR. It's 18' long, 50" bottom on the rear. Pretty much a flat bottom but has some "strakes" ?? on the bottom. The guy who sold it claimed it ran good, but it didn't. Engine issues, worn...
