That is crazy. But it got my brain churning. Why not? Could actually work if you add a removable tongue. Most cars and even mid-sized SUVs are now unibodied w/ no distinct frame. I'm sure my dad thought that idea was crazy in the day. But what do you do w/ the wheels in the back when you are...

The only time I wear my crocs is in the boat or in the river in non-cold months. The White River in north Arkansas greatly varies in depth every few feet up and down the river, with the seasons, and even within the hour as generators on two lakes upstream go off and on seemingly randomly. Crocs...

You don't have round tanned spots on your feet from the vent holes in the crocs? If not, you must not fish in them like I do.

For a second it looked like it mighta been going through a vent hole in the croc! I guess you probably have spotted trout disease on the tops of your feet too?

Make that 5. BTW my old next door neighbor in Atlanta was a dead ringer too. Then I found out he was adopted ...

Great job. Wanting to convert our tiller 2005 Johnson 40hp jet, 20 ft open flat bottom to a center console. Plenty of room. Kinda got center console in mind that is very similar to yours. I am thinking of putting a 15 to 18 gallon gas tank under it for better weight distribution. Want to keep...

Lookin good!. That's a lot of work you have done. Glad mine has an all aluminum transom, though I have had several glass boats w/ wood. And yes, people do tend to sell their problems rather than fixing them. I guess that is why I never have good luck selling stuff or when I do, I sell it too...

How about starting a project posting for your Tracker? I would like to follow your center console conversion as i intend to do the same. Taking pics now to start my own project.

Tried posting w/ iphone as laptop wouldn't connect. For some reason reply wasn't posted. I used Stan at Riverside Marine in Scott/NLR, one mile east of I-440 on old England Hwy. Recommended by friend/neighbor who is a major tightwad when it comes to paying for repairs (I know because he used to...

That's it. Thanks!

Benjamin Moore P22 top and bottom? Any skid additive on top? What primer did you use on the aluminum? I just ran down to the neighborhood Benjamin Moore store, and at $51/ gallon, P22 is cheap. Claimed 400 sq feet of coverage? I'm looking at a similar paint project. Lighter color anti slip...

Nice job! Very, very nice job! I like that small footprint center console. Hard to believe you haven't done that before. Get them welded up and you could sell them!

Great input! Thanks! It is going on an unknown make 20 ft alum flat bottom that we use on the White River in north Arkansas. Looking for anything but carpet. Even a nice vinyl might do but I prefer paint. The boat has been kept 2 hrs away forever, and we just brought it home for engine...

Can someone direct me to posts about good anti skid paint? Saw it a few weeks ago, but now I am ready to buy and cannot find it. It was a brand several folks liked. I believe they rolled it on. Thanks.

Got it back from shop yesterday and it runs great. Got back a good extra 10 mph. A little sputtering at lower speeds but runs like a scalded dog at WFO conditions. Installed two carb kits, hoses, jet impeller and immediate housing around impeller (more like a sleeve) for 2.5 labor hours...

Good news: Crud in the carbs, just needed to be cleaned out. Said he couldn't tell if it was black from hoses or from dunking it in the mud, but said it should be fine. Replacing all hoses. Bad news: jet impeller and hosing were bad. Deep grooves and pits to the point he was concerned about...

Must be getting old. White River floods of 2008.

We have a 20 foot alum flat bottom river boat w/ a 2005 40hp johnson and an "Outboard Jets" jet setup. Intalled by Dr. Jet in southern Missouri. Having problems w/ motor (boat, motor, trailer and first 4 feet of interior of house submerged in White River Floods in north Arkansas in 1988), but...

Well, it is HER boat, and SHE decided I needed to take it to a local outboard shop, which is actually OK with me. Her concern was only two weeks between trips back up to the White River. Seems to think I am more eager to take on a project than I am to finish it! All because I took 5 years to...

I will try the Alcoa. Lowes or Home Depot I assume? Thanks.
