We actually kept the trailer. We extended the tongue 14 inches and the the back by 2ft. Also put some new tires and springs on the trailer. Also made some new, longer bunks out of leftover redwood from a deck.
The trailer is up for paint this weekend hopefully.
I have the boat off the trailer...
My school has one..probably the best in the country with 2 national collegiate championships.
Feel free to check out their website and constitution if you need some help with organizational stuff
They run a point system based on attendance and club tournament finishes and obviously those with...
Got the transom pulled out this weekend. What I found was a bit unsettling. The previous owner had the boat in saltwater so I knew I would deal with some corrosion. The old wood looks treated and was never panted or sealed #-o. The transom metal has a lot of pitting and corrosion.
I have 2...
That herculiner looks great...I would like to do something like that in my boat.
My only question is how much grip does that stuff have when it gets wet?
Is your pedestal seat on the front sturdy with type of design?
I have been conjuring up a similar idea for my front deck with a large hatch to allow for dry storage.
Looks good...how fast does that 25 push with 3 people and gear?
Looking forward to your progress...I have a similar size boat and it is also a duck rig in the making
I hunt a little bit of everywhere I'm blessed to have made some good friends at college and we hunt all over state when we can...Jordan, Harris, Falls, Badin, Tillery, High Rock, the coast, etc.
Finally was able to get in and do some work on the boat.
Pulled the motor and the controls
Removed center bench
Removed the old wiring
Removed side console
She is ready for some sanding and grinding now!
the only thing I didn't get done that I had planned was the getting transom...
First things first, this is really a great site! Hats off to the mods for running a classy forum (hard to these days) with very informative input!
I forgot to introduce myself last week....I have been a lurker since purchasing my 16' Lowe jon boat a few weeks ago. I have a limited time budget...
Yep mink or weasel most likely they are secretive most people don't even realize they have them around...could be a raccoon though, when I had chickens a few times we had some raccoons come in and kill my chickens and just eat the craw out and leave the rest
That black looks real nice!
What kind of paint did you end up using on the trailer?
I'm gonna be tearing into my trailer next week...I'm trying to figure out what kind of paint to run.
New guy here...extremely excited I found this site!
Got a great deal on a 1987 Lowe flat bottom 16' Side Console. As you can see the trailer is junk and might be scrapped as such. The boat is too big for it and it has no tongue weight. The Mercury 40 HP motor has some serious issues and may...
