keep thinking about it, but no decision as of yet. I guess, as someone mentioned, it is so similar to what I already have, it does not provide any different use options, other than maybe salt water, which would be very limited use

Th Garmin Echomap is 10"...slightly larger than my 9" Lowrance console unit...but it is Garmin which is a different platform. Good info on needing to bend over to make adjustments. Even sitting, I would still need to bend over slightly if I use a high rise mount. NOTE: I'm probably about the...

Looking to possibly add a bow mounted FF to assist in my style of fishing. Mostly fish alone. My primary fishing includes....small, med, large reservoirs/lakes and Colorado river... Lakes Havasu/ Mohave.. Targets.....Primarily Flycoring for Stripers (trolling leadcore with various flies) and...

I agree....I'm tempted to buy back and repair, and maybe use it as an Ocean/Bay boat down in LA/SD. Both cruising my old sailing grounds and maybe some halibut fishing in the LB oil island area. However, the salt water will quickly corrode trailer...especially for a painted trailer/freshwater...

Specs on Life Calk....I began using it as I had teak on my sailboats, then began using it on many other items.....deck hardware, railing, etc. It's very versatile. Per Boat Life: "A long lasting, permanently flexible marine polysulfide sealant which can be sanded, painted***, and used above...

I always use Life Calk Polysulfide for anything underwater. Been using it for over 30 years on sail and power boats. IMO, 5200 is too permanent.

He's willing to accept $3K for it as is. Heck, the 2017 Yamaha F25 LWTC (220 hrs) may be worth close to that?

Once you locate the manufacturer's capacity specs for your year/model, you can have a custom made yellow/white capacity decal or alum plate made. https://www.bear-graphic.com/product-page/capacity-plate-replacement-for-watercraft Specs for current Alweld boats.....you could call and see if...

UPDATE: After one year of ownership, I recently received a letter from Mercury to add their product protection. When I purchased my boat new it came with 3 years factory Platinum + 2 years of Gold coverage (Gold was a promotion at the time at NO additional cost). Current Offers: 1...

Once the foam is wet, what changes the foam to make it become "spongy?"

Yes, both boats cover pretty much the same uses. However, the Alumacraft could be my saltwater boat whenever I have feel the need to visit the ocean. It's a 100 mile trip so not very often. I did remove the floors when I owned the boat but can not recall if there was foam beneath the floor...

Does this type of original foam absorb water? If so, why would builders use foam that absorbs water? Would it have to be removed and replaced? Can it be dried out in the HOT desert sun!

IIRC...my LiTime batts required a discharge and charge to prepare them for use. Was pretty easy to get them prepared. The preparation instructions can be found on respective batts websites so you can be prepared when you receive them. I've read that since they are actually a tad over 25V...

Background: I sold my 2017 Alumacraft last year. I used the funds towards the purchase of a new 2023 Tracker Pro Guide V16SC....which is exactly what I wanted and is a great boat! I spent much time and $$ building out the Alumacraft. It has a 2017 Karavan painted trailer and a 2017 Yamaha 25...

Didn't the Canadian model come with bow and rear side rails? My dad was looking for a Canadian last year but could not find one close enough. He ended up finding a Crestliner Sportsman 14. He added his own custom made rails since he liked how they look on the Canadian. He opted to paint them...

I hear you on the heat....it's been between 98F-105F since Friday!!! Cut the grass this AM between 9am-11am and its already 93F! Cooling off right now as I write this!

I had one built that is 24'Wide x36'Deepx12'Tall. About $10K. no concrete and no front door. I use it to store travel trailer and whatever else I want to put under it. Primary reason for purchase....was to keep my toys out of the sun!!

I was thinking the same thing...only placing angle underneath and welding at gap where angle would be

Just to be clear....are you referring to the depressions in the hull caused by the rollers? If so, I'd leave them alone. Convert to a bunk trailer using as long as bunks as you can (be sure to allow the bunks to stick out at least 2" beyond rear/bottom of hull). You could pound out the...
