Any ideas on what to do? How hard is it to replace? Pics would be awesome! Later, Will.

Well, I guess you know I have a 6hp 1964 johnson seahorse; my question is two part, first how can you tell what is proper water-flow, and second when it's wot on the lake I can reach back and feel the pressure and water temp. Its flowing what seems to be ok, but the water is pretty warm after a...

Well for those interested, heres some pics of the tin with her floor mats in semi-permanent floor! Haha! I havent decided how to do a floor and a really low deck fore and aft. So anyway adide from that and cutting the bench tops for stowage, and paint, Im getting closer. Anyhoo Im going foshing...

Hey there, dude awesome trade! My brothers boat is a 94 and it beeps when he has to add oil to the injector. You should replace the impeller anyway if you can. Is it shooting water out at a good pace? I check mine every time I go out because Im having to use a 1964 johnson! Plus I check if the...

Well I got the mats! Only cost me 18.00 for 6 of them! Each one is 36"x36"! So I trimmed the rear one to put the gas tank and battery box on. I just left the two big ones in the middle, and havent trimmed the front one because its a semi-v and I cant figure out how to cut it to lay flat on the...

Your right wide open is great! The regular roughneck is pretty wide open as well. The frontier is lighter so less motor will get the job done. My 25hp moter is electric start, but it has the rope under the hood so it can be started either way. If I can save it up Im gonna get an 1860 roughneck...

Dude! :shock: If I had the money, and bought a Lowe Roughneck 1860 and could have an unlimited budget, thats exactly what I would want! I would change the front deck lower to bass fish off, but thats it!!! The center console, dude is awesome, the whole thing.......is just a dream for many of us...

Hey man, Im in Black Mountain! You fish lake james? Thats where Ive been this year, caught some nice smallmouth! Im doing my gamefisher right now, I need to figure out how to put a link to my build in my sig. Anyway, great job doing the inside and outside with the steelflex was super smart! Now...

Looking great man! I hope you get some ducks!!

Well for the floor I've decided on the waterproof locking mats or rubber mats. They will save space and weight too, I found a man selling them in big sizes 36x36,32x32 different thickness and tread for 3-5 bucks a square!!! 21.00 should get me out the door with rubber to spare! Ill post when I...

Oops! Heres the rear view and the paint Im using for the inside.

Thanks Mike! Well I managed to put the new wooden 2x12 transome chunk on, with a modified inner piece to raise the motor up some. Heres the pics: oh still need to put a vertical steel bar like connector to tie them together.

These are some of the smallies!!! I might not have a fancy bass boat, but it floats and it's the angler :mrgreen: that counts!!

Here's a couple more shots of the STELLA DAWN named after the wife! She has really helped me out during these last few years, so it was the least I could do! Haha!
