    TinBoats.net Box Pass #6

    Sorry again for having to back out of the box pass guys. I hope to be in the next one if my medical problems can get straightened out. I've got quite a few items I will be contributing that I can't use anymore. Thanks again guys!

    10/22 project

    Man I put that wood stock on my 10/22 for the weight!!!! I love the feel of the gun now! It is much firmer and cut back the recoil by at least half if not more!! My buddy from GCFC named Drifter Fisher was nice enough to see some of the mods I want to do and he is sending me a extended wrap...

    When it hits the fan - solar or generator?

    You need to custom a dual hose hookup to your PVC pipe. It's all about volume not pressure so if you could hook three or even four hoses to the top of the PVC pipe the better. Then it's all about time and moving it up and down like an auger. I've tried twice on my property but both times I...

    When it hits the fan - solar or generator?

    Man if you come down here I can teach you how to eat the gators! They really aren't a problem in north central florida as much as down south in Miami, Everglades, and Ocala national forest then yeah you'll get eaten quick! If you ever get a piece of land outside of town and want any ideas for...

    When it hits the fan - solar or generator?

    Trust me I know that a wood gasifier will be easily seen with heat signature. But I also know I'm not gonna be running it like normal. Just long enough to fill up two bath tubs of water and possibly cook something quick. First thing Is gonna be chopping the powerpole and getting all windows...

    Bed Liner on the inside of the boat

    If you decided to go the bed liner route I would highly recommend going to a professional and having rhino liner done. They know exactly how to prep it and in order for bed liner to stick it needs to be VERY clean. Just my .02

    Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

    Well man just take your boat out in the shallows and walk around it and push down on it and see what part of the boat is going to take the most weight and not tip or roll. One addition to adding it to the bow will allow you to put dual handles so you have two places to grab onto. If you...

    Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

    Dude I was talking about a small 12' boat. My 19' seapro has a transom mounted ladder because it is a much bigger boat and can handle weight on the transom.

    Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

    Jig I'm not gonna argue and ruin a post. How much do you weigh? How much does diver gear weigh? Pick up 45lbs and go stand at a corner of your transom and then go stand at the bow and then tell me which one is more stable and evenly balanced? They make permanent ladders that do fold away for...

    Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

    You cannot mount the ladder at the transom for three main reasons. First off is weight since you have the motor plus your weight the bow will rise high and you can flood your boat. Secondly at the transom you cannot get the ladder center because once again the motor is in the way. Thirdly the...

    Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

    You can but you will need to make yourself a ladder that mounts on the middle of the Bow. Do you have a V-Hull? Because if you have a mod-V or a Flat you might as well forget about it now because there just isn't enough flotation up front to hold that much weight all the way up front...

    12ft. (11.8) 19?? Starcraft V-hull fishing boat mod.

    Next time just for understanding you do not remove the paint all the way to bare metal, you rough up the paint that is currently on it and then paint it with a zinc chromate primer and then pick a good military OD green paint.

    12ft. (11.8) 19?? Starcraft V-hull fishing boat mod.

    This isn't mine but a photo example of how it should look. I know it's not a tin but the mounting should be in the same location

    12ft. (11.8) 19?? Starcraft V-hull fishing boat mod.

    Yep mount the trolling motor on the front! On the left side where when you drop it in the water it rolls over the bow and drops on the right side of the bow.

    Corrosion Issue

    That's why you coat them in JB or any hard epoxy! But this is also depending on location since if its going to be in saltwater then it is a big problem. If it is freshwater use then it will take many many years for it to build up corrosion. I would much rather rebunk the rivets and use aluminum...

    12ft. (11.8) 19?? Starcraft V-hull fishing boat mod.

    As long as you have an outboard in the rear you're trolling motor should be mounted on the left side and drop just over the right! If you don't plan on having an outboard you will need something on the rear in the water to create drag to keep the boat straight, kinda like a surfboard fin on the...
