    Second boat, added 2 feet!

    I’m seriously considering just replacing the impeller as a precaution even though it pumps water just fine… GREAT thinking. I love the rig, and the motor, especially. Be safe. =D> =D>

    Pretty sweet find…

    I'm the very opposite of a knowledgeable expert, but the mantra of Pappy echoes in my head, "Get OEM parts, they are worth the money and the avoidance of quality control issues you might have." or words to that effect. Congratulations on your new acquisition; enjoy the challenges and the...

    Bought a boat at a storage auction

    mathewj? Congratulations! Your story is reminiscent of '60s Urban Legends where somebody found an old warehouse out in some prairie town that was used to store U.S. Army Harley Davidsons which were never used in WWII. Really nice find. Have fun. Be safe. =D> =D> =D>

    1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master

    MN? Really handsome job; congratulations on your work and finishing touches. I'm curious about the center of gravity when in the water. I presume the weight of the mods will contribute to greater stability, but that front seat still seems high. I think the F-9 is 60 inches wide. I've been out...

    New Member Introductions!

    Hey Starwarsguy... seems to me I've worked on an Alumacraft Model A. Sweet, long-produced hull. I think I've posted a link to my primitive rehab work. Welcome, and enjoy the experience, and take lots of pictures.

    Tin boat mayhem down under

    Was anybody else stretching up and ducking down, and exhaling profanities and vulgarities as they watched? Lord luv a duck...that's a form of insanity. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

    Selling To A Private Party

    One, slightly off the point, item: on all boats, motorcycles and occasional shotguns I have sold, every bill of sale I have made up has a bottom line notation, above the signature line that reads: "No warranties expressed or implied." Probably is still arguable should difficulties arrive, but...

    Memorial Day weekend!

    Agree about the congestion over the holiday...however... It was a Memorial Day weekend when I went out to the State Park lake with a 10ft Dagger canoe to work on my shoulder strength after some surgery. It was then, after about an hour of hugging the shore and paddling with a kayak paddle that...

    1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master

    Take your time getting well, but for sure, get well. The boat, motor, and soon-to-be crew's quarters will wait for you.

    Fisher Boat Project

    MidTNDeerhunter? Every person who has responded so far has encouraged putting foam in. You don't think you will. uh...were you asking a question or telling folks what you were going to do, regardless of their experienced opinions? just sayin' Best wishes

    1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master

    After you buy the 25hp, take down all the vital information about the guy, his address, his family members, his birthdate, and his plans for his future and never, ever, let him go. He is more priceless than the boat or motor. Congratulations, and best wishes. =D>

    Pontoon Forum

    Might be an insignificant amount, but the "crabbing" is probably the tires trying to go straight, and you are skidding them a bit, causing some inevitable tire wear. Gotta be some, might be minor...just speculating. Best wishes

    Jocularity

    OK, LDUBS, you crossed the line when you did this last one in upper case letters; you are now guilty of Capital Punishment. Penalties are severe. #-o #-o #-o

    Annoying Cold

    Dunno, Jim, but as I recall you either ran or participated in THREE fishing derbys and then threw your back out vacuuming. Maybe your body is telling you something. You are an outdoorsman who should be fishing; staff should clean up the shop. Just sayin'

    Annoying Cold

    LDUBS? This is the active ingredient in those generic brands: Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg Hope it helps. Cheap enough to try.

    Annoying Cold

    :DUBS? Could it be Spring pollen? I've always had sinus problems a couple times a year in Chicago. Up in Wisconsin, it comes and goes. I haven't had it get to my chest since I discover really inexpensive antihistamines, mostly generic. I've gotten the same dosage from both Equate brand and...
