What a beast of a boat! Would love to know the actual weight of it.

Looks like a 1542. I have the same boat. I picked it up a few months ago. Not many mods going to happen to mine, want to keep it light as possible it’s just used at one electric motor only reservoir. I filled in between the ribs with rigid insulation then cut some 3/8 inch thick rubber gym type...

Good for you, I like to think I’d do something similar. I could never live where they have rules like that. A buddy of mine lives in a big home that has a homeowners association. He was not allowed to put his brand new 14’ tin boat and trailer in the gravel next to his garage. Has to have...

Wow, I don’t get anywhere near that with my 80 pound terrova running group 27 batteries.

One of the lakes I fish very often is HP restricted. It was 10HP for a long time and about ten years ago was upped to 25. The lake is only 1800 acres. I have absolutely no problem with the HP restriction. The fishing is very good. I fished many years there with my big motor tilted up using my...

Beater boat to beat all beaters 14 foot sears jonboat. The whole side is bowed out and smashed down a bit from a tree falling on it. Just sold it last week. Have many great memories and years fishing out of it on the local E-Motor only lake just in the condition you see it.

Back to thieves. The town my wife and I lived in when we first got married was starting to get kinda bad. We lived in a very tight neighborhood with row homes and twin homes. I always slept with the window cracked. One night around 1AM I heard the sound of tools clanking out front. I thought my...

Agree with the others, lots of 1” expandable plugs that won’t protrude a whole lot. The plug is near the transom and your motor would hit bottom long before the plug would.

Nice!!!

Ill add that a good friend of mine was running the latest HB helix, great units with nice side imaging. He went with a Garmin echomap 93 on the bow so he could use livescope. He’s now working on selling his helm mounted helix to go all Garmin.

I have Garmin electronics on the boat that’s in my avatar, including livescope. I have an older 24 volt minnkota cable steer on this boat for right now. My livescope transducer is mounted right to that. Works out pretty good because I can turn it any direction I want with my foot as I fish...

Really sad story. It happens in a split second. I went through the ice as a kid fooling around on thin ice on the creek. Was in the low teens that day. Had to walk a half mile to my grandmothers house. I was literally frozen from the waste down by the time I got there and my toes were turning...

My thoughts on it as well.

Not real familiar with TBN. As far as that video. I tend to respect a person that can share his knowledge and skill without the need to bash others work, the sign of a true master of his craft.

I have a minnkota quick release bracket that has served me well for many years. I suppose I could build a TM base up with wood but looking to avoid that. I have one inch thick recycled plastic that’s fantastic for marine use, but heavy. Used it on boats in the past. This unit looks like a...

I managed to sit through about 3 minutes of that video. Didn’t get to the part about the bracket. Not a fan.

He responded yesterday to tell me it was a 17 foot. My bad, he is asking 800$ but I’d bet 450 would get it.

Thill,,, 500$ PM sent.

Neat idea. Would take a substantial initial investment to make something that would be of decent quality. Would be a Very limited market and probably would never turn a profit.

True, but I’ve seen more than my share of Tinnies that are salvage yard fodder.
