    WRONG TRAILER FOR JON BOAT

    I bought a used Tracker boat trailer for my jon boat. It's set up for a V-hull boat. Can I convert the trailer over to make the jon boat rid correct? With the boat on trailer the boat can slide left to right. I've looked at buying a new jon boat trailer and they are aroungd or over $1000. thanks,

    Online fishing

    I have the same problem when ordering rods on-line. USPS always breaks the rods when in cardboard. UPS is better. I sell a few rods on e-bay and always pack the rods in PVC pipe and have never had a -problem yet. Yes, shipping cost is expensive, supplies around $13. plus shipping cost but worthn it.

    wanting to install sliding rails on jon boat

    CVA SCOUT Rifle

    I own the CVA Scout pistol in .243 and it shoots great. Comparing it too the TC Contender models the quality is good and has a great price point. I've become a handgun hunter and hopefully they will add additional caliber barrels.

    Post a Pic of your boat!

    Thanks Jim. Took my MK PowerDrive to the warranty shop, the CoPilot wouldn't work after installing control module. Going on 2 months now. Should had sent it back to the factory instead. Looking at the nes MK 1/2hp electric motor for transom. Anyone try that out yet.

    Sold my Coleman Crawdad this summer and bought the Tracker Topper 1436. Carpeted the inside and added seats off a Skeeter. Playing with the MK trolling motor, not happy, replacing with bow mounted MK PowerDrive with CoPilot.

    My new Tracker Topper 1436. Added carpet thru the boat and skeeter seats with pedestals. Experimented with using transom mount trolling motor with handle extension but doesn't work for me. Now in the process of putting a bow mount MK PowerDrive with CoPilot on it.

    Installing bow mounted power drive v2 on tracker topper 1436

    Thanks guys for the ideas. I contacted Dawson at FishOn Fabrications about a mount and he sent me a couple of drawings he recommended. I chose one of the mounts and he made it for me and was shipped quickly. Fits like a glove. I've noticed that the trolling motors are mounted on the sides...
