Thanks for the input.I'm just going to rebuild the carbs and inspect the fuel pump as the boat set for a couple years before I got it i believe . Any recommendations as to a website to buy the rebuild kits? And a good link to a video and or website to help me with the carbs.

To make a long story short, bought a 2000 seaArk with a 2000 115hp motor, took the boat out ran fine for 10 minutes then went WOT when around 5000 rpm the boat like jerked and the rpms dropped then revved back up then i wasnt able to get it to restart. Came home inspected the fuel lines pulles...

Thanks for the info guys!! Pretty excited about possibly getting this boat.

I have the opportunity to get a 2000 zx180 with an 115hp johnson. I would like to be able to fish larger bodies of water ie pickwick lake in tn. Has anyone owned this boat or similar. How the ride would be on an 18ft jon on large lakes with chop in them? I should be able to get it for about...

Thanks for the input guys

Im interested in a boat I found on craigslist, its a 93 bass tracker has 2 fish finders trolling motor,40hp outboard but no tilt and trim is this a deal breaker could i add tilt and trim or is this not worth it,id like some opinions thanks guys.I can get it for 1500

I have an alumacraft 1436 trying to figure how I can mount a transom trolling motor to the bow ive looked around the site and on the internet so many different ways it seems.ive included a pic my problem iis my rails are rounded and most ideas ive seen the are flat on the bow and help would be nice.

Can you mount those driftmasters straight to my plywood deck?

Tried searching couldn't find what I was looking for, what do you guys do about rod holders for your jons was thinking about mounting these to my front deck, whats your opinion? Or your ideas?

ok got it off went to autozone and got new bearings,i forgot a dust cap and the kit doesnt come with one,should i go ahead and put the new bearings on or wait to get a dust cap then do it.

Well taking everything off the outer bearing was destroyed, but now the hub wont come off any tips?

Can I go to like a napa or auto and get the parts I need are they universal, not going to lie alittle lost about what you guys are saying. So theres a inner and outer bearing inside that needs to be replaced, is it simple as putting the new bearings in and greasing them the duat cap on?

I looked at my trailer this morning and noticed the dust cap was missing and the tire was leaning, does the missing dust cap have anything to do with the lean? Thanks guys

I cut my plywood for the spaces in between the benchs it seems lose when i walk on it,can I screw it into the ribs to secure it or is that bad

I have my untreated plywood for flooring in my 1436 alumacraft, my question is do you have to cut out space for the braces or can ya just jam it in so its nice and tight?? thanks guys
