My 1974 Grumman sportcanoe 15' 4'' & trailer. will be modifying the trailer and the sport canoe. I plan on posting the mods along with lots of questions if you don't kick me out of the tin boat forum, for being to skinny of a boat. I don't plan on a casting deck though. Living in Wyoming we have to watch out for the light breezes,30mph. They have a habit of showing up after you launch and just before gale force winds 60mph blow for a week straight.lol

Just wanted to show off my "forever" boat! Had a few old fiberglass runabouts, trihulls etc.. then got out for a couple years and switched to a Kayak. THEN discovered Jon boats ;-) First I found great deal on a junk boat with a good 9.9 tiller for power.. Sold the hull and trailer (for the same price). Bought a brand new leftover discounted 2016 (late model that appears to have an aluminum transom) Tracker Grizzly 1448 MVX. Ran it for a bit and reralized it was a bit under powered, then found ANOTHER great deal on a 14" Sea Nymph with 25hp Johnson.. with controls. Swapped the power! Added a console to the grizz and Voila! Finally got a nice little fishing boat I can run shallow and drag up on shore, take the kids out, or whatever..

And I got such a good deal on the Sea Nymph I expect to basically have this Johnson for free after I clean it up and sell in the spring.

Hi, this is my 1963? Duracraft project. I think it's a Duraflight or Sportsman. I bought it for $300. I have been working on it for a couple of years. I did some work on the motor, steering, trailer, dash, and more. I am now doing some work on the transom, wiring, and installing a bilge pump. I'm not going to paint it for now. I just want to get it in to the water soon.
The motor is a 68 Johnson 40hp. I also have a 4 hp Evinrude, and a Minn kota trolling motor for back up. I need to get the Evinrude running.

I put it in the water for the first time for a test drive. Worked good. Did about 25 mph. Smells rich, I may have some more work to do.

Here's where I am so far, 14ft creastliner, 3/4 decked and it's rock solid and stable. Just picked up a bow mount foot controlled tm to mount soon. Batteries are under the deck and plan on moving gas tank up and under the front deck also. Plan on running all electrical(lights, bilge, etc) through a switch and buss. 9.9 with e start is very nice. A paint job and cleaning up the decking (hatches, hinges. Etc) is next up after mounting the new tm.

 
Here are a few of my Ranger tin. Older model but has turned into my favorite rig. I have had 2 glass Rangers in the past. This boat is my favorite. Just something about a tin boat. I won't own anything but tin from now on.

New 2017 Alumacraft MV1748 NCS. Spent all last week working on getting her rigged up after work so I could get out and hunt this past weekend. Very, very happy with the boat thus far. I no longer get the snot beat out of me in a chop like I did with my old flat bottom. Definitely needs a bigger motor...

Here is mine. It is a pre 72 Starcraft 15x5 and has been turned into a bass boat. The engine is a 50 hp Evinrude sizzler. It fired right over after about a year of sitting.starcraft 5.jpg
 
New to me boat so updating with a pic. Had got a 1436 Alumacraft with an old 15 hp Johnson. After using a half dozen times it gave me some issues with the points and condenser which I'm no good with. Wanting a turn key rig as reliable as my bike I gave up I got it running by taking to a shop and traded on a new Yami 15 hp electric start 4 stroke which was too heavy for the boat. Picked up a 1997 Gen 3 1544 which I took out today to see how the pair will work. Sweet combo for me and glad to have a nice starter platform to work with now. Gonna fish it for awhile til I decide what upgrades I want versus need.

This is my 1960 sea king project. The boat has been in my family since 1960 my grandpa bought it new. I got the boat in 1996 from my uncle and put it in my barn. Recently took it out and restored it. The trailer is a 1957 champion also completely restored. I have more pics of project that i will post later thanks.
