    Need input FAST!!

    https://www.gon.com/marketplace/listings/23540/bass_tracker_2 Is this boat worth what he is asking? What is the bottom width and hull thickness and would it be worth converting into an all alumanum rig like I have been looking for? Probably use is as is for awhile then start the conversion down...

    1655 motor size

    Wow that seems fast. What would it do with a 75 I am looking at the 1655 lowe and am trying to determine how much motor I would need to be satisfied. https://www.loweboats.com/showroom/welded-jon/roughneck-jon/r1655sc.php

    I have devised a plan...

    I priced hulls today and got my feelings hurt.. G3 1756 with CC 8500$ for just the hull said that was a 2011 model and they were going up in 2012. :shock: I got quotes on a 1652 riveted Lowe from two different dealers and one was 1400 dollars more expensive for the same boat! One dealer...

    That's the same way I feel add to that that I already have a trolling motor and depth finder and its not that bad. Also I do custom metal fabrication for a living so that opens even more doors.

    Really? I have been seeing alot of them in my local craigslist for around that price and they don't look to be junk. This could really depend on the local market... https://augusta.craigslist.org/boa/2481323363.html https://macon.craigslist.org/boa/2488701568.html...

    I have devised a plan...

    I want a 17-18 foot aluminum center console boat in the worst possible way, however in my area they seem to be non existent or either people hold on to them very tightly. I have been looking at buying a brand new one but number one I don't like 4 stroke outboards and two I think what they ask...

    2011 30hp etec vs 40hp 1986 mariner

    I don't know what the maintenance record is on the mariner but lets say it's been run hard and put up wet all it's life and the carbs are out of adjustment. In that situation I would be willing to bet that a brand new fuel injected computer controlled Etec will run circles around it. If the...

    1642 vs. 1648

    You prodded me to do some looking and I can get a 1756 with console and trailer for right at 5k then I would have to find a suitable motor for cheap and Im not sure how easy it would be to find a suitable power source. Im not much on 4 strokes and would really like to have a 2 stoke jonnyrude...

    1642 vs. 1648

    I don't think so I might could buy a brand new hull but I am looking for something ready to roll spending all of my budget on a hull is out of the question. I am located in Augusta GA, I found a couple of welded tins in the Macon craigslist and even one 16 foot jet boat for 4k. I am holding out...

    1642 vs. 1648

    I am having the identical issue and I am from Georgia as well. I am looking for a nice river boat and would like something in the 16 to 18 feet long and 50+ inches wide but such a boat seems to be non existent in this state even with a 5k dollar budget.

    2011 30hp etec vs 40hp 1986 mariner

    Because the same hp 4 stroke weighs more than the two stroke plus they get into the powerband quicker and are less maintenance. For small jons a 2 stroke is better hands down...

    Leave motor on transom during transport?

    I always leave mine on and I don't know of anyone who takes theirs off unless they don't have a trailer and are loading it in the back of the truck. As long as your transom is in good shape and you don't drive like a wild man down rough roads there is no reason to take it off. Pictures of your...

    River Boats

    That is exactly what I am talking about I would love to carpet mine but I know it would be so full of blood, catfish slime and river mud that it would look horrible. I am considering herculiner or some other form of DIY bedliner right now just to try and make it look alittle better, the original...

    River Boats

    Let's see some river boats, most of the builds I see seem to be designed more for bass fishing in lakes. I want to see some mods for chasing catfish, limb lining and bream fishing in the rivers and creeks.

    Replacement Rib for Riveted Jon

    If you can get dimensions on the existing one I can duplicate it. I have plans to do this to my boat just simply to add strength.

    Would a XL shaft motor be a problem in rivers?

    I am assuming you are refering to a long shaft motor, I would say if it's on short transom it could be done but will be a pain. Being able to run in the shallower waters is part of what makes small jons nice take that away and you just as well have a much larger deeper running boat.

    Bimini question

    Without stealing your thread id like to pose another question. How exactly do these adjust for width of the boat? A local guy has one of those from cabelas/basspro for sale cheap but my boat is small at 48" beam can I make it fit...
