Back in 1986 my family and I had breakfast in a diner left there got in the van and I lit up one cig then another one now I had one in each hand. I looked at the two cigs. opened the window through the two out plus the new pack and the lighter. I HAVEN'T MISSED THEM SINCE. Honest to God it...

CR I didn't expect it for free and I'm a pack rat also. My father was a pack rat too and it's a nice pass time collecting stuff you may or may not need in the future. I have more of the may nots then the mays. My wife keeps telling me [-X

stone4140, that looks great, i would just buy the throttle items and convertion kit for the engine. Thanks

Does a pontoon boat qualify as being a Tin Boat. After all it's aluminumum and wood. I have an '07 18' Sweetwater with a 60hp 4 stroke Yami.

I'm in Wilson N C about 40 mins east of Raleigh. So you don't think I should try what your buddy did, the idea sounds good to me :mrgreen:

Thanks

THANKS C R :D

Smackover, it's funny but I was looking at tracker with stick steering and I was going to ask if anyone here ever used it. I saw Bill Dance using stick steering in one of his shows. I'm thinking of getting a boat with steering might be easier and less costly.

The motor is electric start. Maybe I'll look up some BSYs in NC and find what I need. I was going to make the console, it was all the other items I need that I was conserned about.

Thanks, I know the cables and controls are not cheap. I thought of going to a boat salvage yard and see what I can find there. I guess I will keep looking around and keep it as a tiller for now. I remember the old wooden 16' Thompson Lapstrake I had with cables and pullies and a 33hp rude that I...

Hi, How hard and expensive is it to change a 25 hp tiller to remote steering and I have to build a side console. The boat has a wooden floor and is 16' long. Thanks, Al I really enjoy this group :roll:

i am in wilson nc about 1 hr south of Va. off I-95, I don't know what the price of used boats are where all of you live but here in NC dealers and private sellers think there boats are gold plated. I am not knocking nc, i love living here but some people and dealers are why to high on there...

I would like to get a 1648 jon if I can find one and I think I'll keep looking for what I want and not be in a rush to buy one. Thanks, Al :mrgreen:

ok , i'll try again. Waterwings, i am not sure if i should buy the 16' x 63" mirrocraft or keep looking for a jon boat. most of the only jons i see are 14', any advice. Al

right now i am not sure if i should get the mirrocraft or keep looking for a jon. all the jons i see are 14 ft this MC is the only 16 foot one i found. all i would have to do is put a wooden floor in the MC. ANY ADVICE :roll:
