Hi, my name is Jamie from Vancouver Island. I just bought my first Aluminum boat a 12ft Harborcraft, that I plan to use for Fly fishing mainlyin freshwater and a little in the Saltwater. I plan on adding a bunch of Scotty mounts and to add a Styrofoam and chloroplast floor. I am definitely open to ideas and suggestions as well. Cheers.

Hey fellas, I found this site while searching for modifications and ideas for my 12' tinny. This looks like a great site with friendly, knowledgable folks. I joined so the annoying banner would disappear. Lol ok that last one's a lie. :D

:LOL2: So it works!

WELCOME! Thanks for joining!
 
Growing up in the Catskills I was a trout fisherman almost from birth, but moving to So. Fla I've been a saltie for most of my adult life here and the big boat went in the divorce 9 years ago. I got a 10' Topper that I've been rigging and today was my first adventure on water with it. Love it. I just wish I could have a larger one.

Thanks for this site, it's informative and so far the contributors are very polite.
 
Welcome to the site. I can't believe nobody has welcomed you yet. These guys are really busy! Post lots of pics so we can all see the fish you catch. I for one would love to fly fish the flats in FLA! Being in Ontario I don't get a chance to fish the lower states. PA is about as far south as I get with a rod and line.
 
Hey all, new member from Elora/Guelph area in Southern Ontario (Canada) checking in. I have 2 boats on the go, a 12' v hull undergoing a conversion and a 1950's plywood runabout (winter project). I'm starting the floor work on the tinny now, will be looking for carpet installation and painting tips & ideas. I'm going to do a "test fish" with it first before I finish it and may do a build thread if it all works out

Hello everybody, new member here from Central KY (inbetween Rough River Lake and Nolin Lake). I have been working on a heavily modified flat bottom John Boat and found this site through google searches. I mainly fish for Crappie/Catfish/Bluegill but take whatever is biting.
Thanks
 
Hello everyone, new member here from Michigan. Born and raised on a lake, but was never bit by the fishing bug until 50. I now seem to not get it off my mind.
Looking to do a boat renovation project with about a 16' flat bottom. Wouldn't even mind finding an old Bass Tracker to redo. Will be doing a ton of research on here to start gathering information.

New guy. Heard about this from another site. Thought I'd give it a try. Own a 2014 Triton TX18 and I just put a 2017 Evinrude 115 HO on. It has a 6" Vance manual JP. Only 10 hrs on the motor but I'm getting the props dialed in. Looking forward to reading some setups and ideas.

Hi, my name is Tony. If i could clean out my garage i would be able to get one of the projects i have, started. Wow, that's a run on sentence. Any who, this will be a blast. Right? I'll have questions and pics for you ok. Let's keep each other entertained kay. I'm already stoked. I want to stay within the lines on this build so here comes the questions, that is if there are any left. Well that's enough about us. Tell me a little more about you. It's after midnight, don't suppose i could get a bowl of cereal? It'll be rude of me, but who's to stop me. ( a moderator) Too bad. I'm hungry. Oh, i forgot,. Be careful out there. Tin Boats rocks!
