Thanks. Yes, I store it in my shed when not in use. I also clean out all the ash from the bottom and give it a decent wipe down the day after a cook. My buddy built one at the same time I did mine. He doesn't clean his at all and leaves it outside. It's rather rusted and crappy looking, but...

He loved it!! The smile on his face was priceless. Noticeable improvement in speed and power. Before, it would bog down in the yard through taller grass and hills. Now it flies right through with no issues. Now I've gotta bypass the thermal protector. It kicks the tractor off for 10 seconds when...

The kit came in today. Coincidentally, I have the afternoon off. Texted my wife to video him running the tractor down the driveway. Need a before and after comparison!!!

I built a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) a few years ago for about $100. Love it!! Added a PartyQ temperature controller from BBQ Guru and it's pretty much set and forget. Mostly do chicken legs/thighs, whole chickens, pork butt and pork ribs. I mainly use Royal Oak lump charcoal and wood chunks for the...

I'm still working at my job as an Ortho Tech at an Orthopaedic office. We still have patients everyday, but have slowed down considerably. Feel fortunate that I'm still working!! Been stuck at home every evening/weekend though. Even with a 3 and 1 year old we've gotten a ton of yard work done...

I used rivnuts in the appropriate thread/pitch to install both my led light bar and my HID lights to the bow of my boat. Here is how I did mine. https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32811&hilit=driving+lights

Fished for 4 straight days last week on my buddies boat. We gave his new Ulterra, Helix 10 MEGA+ SI and Helix 8 MEGA+ SI a workout. WOW!!! What a sweet setup that is. I mostly river fish, so don't get much of this, but it was the first time I've used electronics to locate fish and actually catch...

24V 80# w/I-pilot link.

Still waiting from the end of January? Were'd you order from? My buddy ordered an Ulterra on Friday and it came it yesterday. He ordered from Amazon though.

I use a tarp. A 12 mil heavy duty one from ebay runs $35 for a 10' x 20'. This fits well on my 1648 using two saw horses and a 2 x 8 running between for support. I tie it down using bungees and it holds up to heavy wind, rain and snow without issue. Keeps my boat bone dry and blocks out harmful...

No experience with those type of studs, I used angle for my framing. But for frame to hull I would use solid rivets versus blind rivets.

I originally went with 4 HID conversions. Super bright and worked pretty well. But, with the decrease in price and availability of LED, I ended up doing an LED light bar that is more than sufficient by itself. I still use 2 of the HID conversions on each side of the light bar, but it's probably...

I used all 1" x 1" by 1/4" to frame out the floor and deck extension on my 1648. Zero issues.

All of my supports/frame is riveted together with closed end blind rivets. My floor and deck extension are riveted to the supports/frame using closed end blind rivets. The vertical supports on the starboard and port side of my deck extension is riveted to the hull using solid rivets. Only place...

Same with me. Zero interference on my sonar (Helix 5 SI) powering it off the same battery as my TM.

Yes, 1" x 1" x 1/4" angle to frame out my floor and deck extension. The floor didn't require much framing though. The existing ribs provided plenty of support. For my deck extension it was framed out with the same angle. The vertical framing was angle attached through the side of the hull with...

You could run your accessories off of one of the group 31's and save the weight of adding a third battery. On my 1648 I run a 24V, 74# Minn Kota Maxxum using 2 Everstart group 27 batteries. I also pull of each battery independently for 12V for stereo, bilge pump x 2, LED nav lights, LED interior...

I used 1" x 1" x 1/4" angle to frame the floor and front deck extension on my 1648. The floor and deck are .125" sheet. All plenty sturdy with the proper support between the framing. I added extra support around my captains seat and bow deck pin mount base using angle for the captains seat and...

I got all my electrical supplies from Tinned Marine Wire when I did my boat several years ago. High quality stuff. They have really nice terminal connections and lugs as well. Zero complaints in the 6 or so years since I wired up my boat. $2.84 per foot for the 6/2 AWG...
