He'll spend all of it and then some on his next build!! :)

I'm still around and checking the forums periodically. Congrats on the huge profit margin, that is amazing. Been enjoying getting out and fishing but miss having something to work on. I will probably look into another tin this winter (when the deals are better) and do some things different this...

Man, this is awesome. Makes me miss my tin. Pretty sure I will be getting a new one very soon. Good job.

Concerning the motor, go here: https://www.leeroysramblings.com/starting-old-motors.htm This guy has a ton of advice on outboard motors and knows what he is talking about. Good luck with your project.

Well guys, I sold Lil' Fisher last week and purchased a full grown (glass) bass boat. I just couldn't help it. I got out several times on my tin and loved it but wanted the convenience of hopping right in and driving off to fish. A very nice older gentlemen just down the road purchased her. He...

Second the live/baitwell suggestion.

Dude you are ready to go now. Taken mine out four times and no fish yet. They just aren't biting in this hot weather and warmer water temps. I hope you have better luck. Stay in touch.

Great job brother. How does that front casting deck feel? After fishing mine a couple times with my wife, I am thinking about covering the small floor area between the front bench and the deck I built. My only problem with doing this is she needs a place to put her feet while underway. I guess I...

This is a nice boat. Other than getting the motor going, it doesn't look like it needs much. I think getting a hold of the repair/service manual will be your best bet to finding the missing part. My 45 year old service manual helped me find a missing idle screw that should have been in place...

Really like what you did with this old ski boat. Like you said, there are plenty of them for sale and they are real cheap. I seriously thought about getting one and converting it to a bass boat but decided on a tin instead. Seeing this post makes me want to go ahead and try it. Any idea how much...

If you can make it work, its a good little motor. where are you located? I might be interested should you decide to part with it.

Can I have the 5200 if it makes it through? This looks like a lot of fun. Just posting so i can receive notifications. Have fun.

Nice boat and setup you got there. That motor looks familiar, what is it? Looks like my 1968 Evinrude.

Nice work. I like that it has a console.

I'm in, thank you.
