When I was looking for a motor for the F-9 rebuild - I specifically limited it to electric start...and that's what I got 1973 Evinrude 25hp Electric start - I retrofitted an Emergency Cut-Off Switch so I'm fully up to code.

My F-9 is the father to the V-14. Pamphlet shows two measurements. 15' from bow to stern along the gunwale, 14'2" Prow to center of the transom. A 14' semi-V should be good for up to 30hp - my F-9 is rated to 35, but the newest V-14 has lowered that to 25. Older model semi-Vs had two different...

This the view of my front door earlier this week.

I tried the Al's - went back to Owner....they're more expensive, but have a pull knob so you're not in danger of poking your finger taking the bonnet off. Almost spring? This was taken this morning...my front door.

This is what I used on the F-9 prior to priming/painting.

No - before the F-9 that I rebuilt last winter, I was fishing out of a modified canoe...but I've heard good things about Lowes in general on other boards.

Check out the Lowes 1652 - a little narrower, but plenty wide enough for stability. Roaming Rock Marina in Roaming Shores (21 miles from you) carries Lowes.

That HIN comes up as this on BoatFax - I don't have a membership so can't get more details.

I found the catalogue page for the 1993 models...some things look off based on that - your boat looks more like a Classic Fisherman than a Yukon. 1993 Sylvan Catalogue - Pg 18-19

They're just standard cylinder cam locks I got off Amazon - Uenhoy 6 Pack Cabinet Cam Locks Keyed Alike - the cams lock under the aluminum angle framing. They work just fine, seem solid enough too.

Find an actual metal supplier. Locally - cheapest 'big box' place want's $12.70 for an 8' length of 1/16" 1x1 angle Coremark has one of it's locations here - I paid $14.60 for a 16' length...and they'll cut in half for free.

See the link in my Sig-line. Only wood I used in my modifications was the decks - and that's only 1/2" plywood - rest is aluminum angle, riveted together and to the hull. To see the start and finished product - F-9 project completed

This is what I used to seal holes from where I'd drilled out rivets for the F-9 rebuild. Should seal those leaky rivets right up.

Got out twice this week - both times I discovered some minor tweaks that need to be done...but neither trip was a total loss. Caught Monday morning - nice little hammer-handle that went 1.6# Other than a small pumpkinseed, that was my only catch of the day, Back out this afternoon, fighting...

Great find there - sometimes those storage auctions yield gems.

Camera footage downloading to my computer now - be a bit before it's all edited. Came across a couple minor issues: 1: Direction indicator on the TM is reversed - the arrow points sternward when moving forward. 2: Livewell fill isn't working...pump engages, inlet is well under water, but no...

And the final overview video (took me 3 takes and it's still not 100%, but I got other things I need to do) Lake Master Bass Boat Part 10: Final Product

Thanks, Kismet, for the nice words The butt-seat isn't to sit on really, it's just something to add stability as you use it like a tripod - two legs are your legs, the third leg is the seat...so yes, it's a little higher than a sit-in seat. Far as the center of gravity - from my calculations...
