OK well its been over a year since my last post about my boat but that's life and work. Its time for an update in the past year Ive gone through 600 different ideas over what to actually do with it. Ive scrapped many ideas mainly due to size. its only 13' 4 so Ive cut out the live well idea and...

I just may have to tie my own. The not so smart way these are set up pretty much calls for that. I guess it's on to learning new things. That video was so quick I might need a book on it.

Thank you! Much better

Yes I thought the skirt pliers would work the only thing is when it comes time to get the skirt over the rattle chamber it would mess up the skirt. Or truly turn into a three hand task with only two avalible. Yes Jim I can email the pics. And I will right now.

Yes I agree this In high need of haveing pics. I just can't figure out how to upload pics from this stupid iPhone. I'm sure it's against some stupid apple law. So my next chance is later this weekend. I'll do my best. I even messed around with them last night and broke six collars in the...

So I recently bought a pack of skirts to reskirt some sk Denny brauer flipping jugs as I went to put them in it came to my attention that they all have a perment rattle chamber on them. in order to reskirt them I would have to pull the collar open at least a half inch to get it up to the jig...

Well now that my terminal tackle issue has subside I gave one more question for all of you out there. How longs do soft plastics last?? Never seen an experation date. For reference mine happen to stay in my box in my house which stays at a consant temp year round. So what are your thoughts...

Well thank for the good advice. I always have actually wanted to tie my own feathered trebles. I have bought a bunch of fly fishing and fly tying gear. Just so hard to find the time. Probably another reason my mods at a stand still. Nontheless I think my best route is to purchase on of those...

Now I have one interesting question for you all. How do you determin hook size? Is there a set size for length? I.e. 2/0 hook for a 4in plastic or just how does it work. And is there a chart I can download and print to match em up. I also have a topwater bait I don't know the hook size I'd like...

No unfortunalty the pick up is set to siphon from the bottom of the tank directly below itself so you could run all of maybe twenty mins. After the fuel level would drop below the siphon range. Sorry......

Thanks all. Yes it will be a pure fishing boat I'm up in the air right now wether to split the two sections right Now or not. It may mess with the riggidness. The transom is in great shape the only issues I found was were the roller spider crack the under hull. Which I'll block her up and yank...

let me start by saying sorry it not a tin boat but i'm really thankful for the help and appreciation you guys also had for those of us who have glass.i will happily stand in the corner with these excellent craftsmen.OK so Ive been talking for weeks about my conversion here all the before pics...

Does anyone know were I can buy foam flotation to spray between my deck and hull? And how much it would run me? I tried my local west marine but nothing there.

After scouring this site for ideas and plans it just dawned on me. I bought a book on this on clearence at my local barnes and noble about four years ago. Has anyone read Monty burns ultimate bass boat book? It gives rigging instructions and plans to mod a 16 foot Jon. Plus a good amount of...

This is perfect! I've been looking for ideas for my 14 ft runabout. Can't wait to pull mine outta storage and go to town on it.

So do you guys thing my 36 pound thrust trolling motor is enough to push my 12 foot hull fully laden with me gear and a fishing partner? Keep in mind this is one heavy solid hull.

Well I'll have to do some more searching them take a peel and get ideas. I hopeing to get it out of storage tommorow and snap some before pics. I know that a few of the things I'll be doing is sturdy decking, seating,and livewells. But even after that it's on a breakframe trailer that needs TLC...

Well, if there are no objections I'd love to post my conversion. I'm planning on doing it over the summer. All the concepts I've learned from here the past few weeks will be employed. I will be picking it up out of storage in the next few weeks. I'll try and post before pictures with my "ideas"...

Ahh that's a bummer all I have lying around mow is a fourteen foot fiberglass runabout. To bad there isn't a site like this deticated to those conversions. Ahh well this site is amazing though!

Hello all, So after reviewing these threads for weeks I wanna go for it. I have a 87 Starcraft 1032 I've had since I was fourteen. Now I have a few simple ideas but first my question is. Is it a bad idea mod a 10 footer? I haven't seen anything under 12-14 feet done here.
