Finally picked up a new to me rig. 1995 17.5x52 Weld-Craft Flat Bass with a 1995 90/65 Mariner jet. Rides like a Cadillac compared to my old setup. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Well, I suppose this is the end. The boat was sold to my nephew this week. This ugly old girl served us well for 10 years. However, on to bigger and better. Bought a 17.5 x 52 Weldcraft with 90/65 Mariner onboard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Converting 1995 Mariner/ Mercury 90/65 jet from 3 wire tilt/ trim to 2 wire. I have ordered the kit with the relays to replace the solenoids. I have 1 wiring question. I get all of the wiring EXCEPT, where do these 2 wires (one connector) get reattached? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using...

Little additional update, wound up changing out my impeller, apparently had a very old inefficient design in it. Boat picked up considerably afterwards. Light load, my 12 year old son and me in the boat I have clocked it at 30mph down stream. Not bad for antique equipment. Sent from my...

NOPE! She is still ugly as can be. LOL Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Well, its only been 6 years since I updated this. LOL The old girl has seen some serious river use in that time frame. Getting ready to gut at least the rear for rebuild #2. The plywood has finally given up (front deck is still perfect), it will be aluminum framed and decked this time. I'll...

8th Annual Current River Polar Bear Run will be February 7th 2015. Meet at the Doniphan, Mo City boat ramp at 11 AM and run North to just above Deer Leap (Approx 6 miles) build a fire, eat some lunch and have a good time. Slow or fast, all are welcome (I am usually the slowest boat LOL).

We are all on the river.

Woohooo we got to make it! I scored the t shirt for slowest boat. LOL Thanks Jim. I need to get by this forum a little more often again.

Used Treated 2x6s on the bottom and 2x4s for the guides covered in HD indoor outdoor carpet when I built my trailer. And I'll throw out this advice, somebody told me this carpet wouldn't last, well 4.5 years later it is still in really good shape. This is the advice, I have one place that the...

Don't get by the forum much any more, haven't done much fishing last couple of years (I know terrible right?) last couple of summers we have just been running Current River with the kids and playing in the water. I'm in Poplar Bluff, when I was fishing a lot I could be on the water at Wappapello...

Haven't stopped by here in a while, thought I'd drop in and say howdy. Going to uncover my boat for the first time this year tonight and head out to the river in the morning. Made me think I haven't checked in on Tin Boats in forever. Life's been busy. And I'm sure some of you might be curious...

For $50 it ain't worth the effort. Buy a new one. https://jetdoctor.net/products/jet-drive-kits/jet-parts

Hey guys thought I'd pop in to this thread for a little update in anyone ever wondered. A little over 2 years have past now since we got the bad news and we are doing well. Been a crazy busy year, we spent plenty of time on the river this year in the old barge, but get this, I never even bought...

I'll bite on the trans, how much? I really need a back up for my car.
