I've got a RiverHawk B60 w/ a Honda 15 four stroke. In the summer, I've got a 'Mac's River Runner' installed, which robs performance, but is worth it. Even with that, it will plane two guys and a bait tank with 15-20 gallons. Doesn't exactly scoot, but planes, and moves comfortably...

On a trailer tire of that type, the maximum load rating is achieved only at the maximum rated pressure....

Thank You!

To avoid galling the threads. Larger diameter stainless bolts sometimes gall before tightening adequately, which is why brass is used. It's a balancing act, all the way around. :lol:

In salt you will see problems. I saw it happen over a week long salt trip, after it had gone for who knows how long in freshwater without the slightest concern.

I doubt you are going to have much luck with the brazing rods. About the only success stories I've heard of that were all at boat shoes, or other outdoor expos. However, you could use the same method cva34 mentioned, just with pop rivets. Once you lay the pieces up like he mentioned, you'll...

Story is pretty well the same here. $1 a pound for scrap, or a little more, depending on who from.

I don't know about your area, but in my area, $2.50 a pound for used aluminum isn't really all that great. If it is offcuts, it is a good price, but if it is anything that has to be re purposed, you'd probably be better off getting new. Granted, prices do fluctuate on a regular basis, but my...

Here are the pics I had.

Where are you located? I generally brake form the channels whenever making floor ribs. In many cases, the boat manufacturer is going to have proprietary dies for their particular hat section. That means they have absolute rights to that die, so no one else could get a run of that shape...

Russ, I left the camera at the shop again, so I can't upload the loft pics yet. #-o I'll try to remember it tomorrow.

Shoot me a pm if you're interested. In the process of building my website this week, so you'll see it up soon. I had a health issue last year, a month or so after this thread was posted, and was out of commission for a few months, so most of the stuff I had in the pipeline got set on the...

We aren't thinking that is the case - when he got the boat home, he took pictures with all the lids in the boat, so they made it to his house, then when he came back with the boat, he didn't bring any lids with him.

For small and portable, it is fine. I've got one, and used more like it on quite a few out-of-shop jobs in past years.

Looks good to me.

Does your boat have transom tie down rings, or handles? If so, make a tow bridle from a 15' piece of line that runs from ring to ring, around the outboard, and attach the tube line to the bridle with a carabiner or shackle. Slipping the loop of the tube line over the bridle is not a good...

Click this link. The aluminum transom I put in this 1650 jet boat might give you some ideas. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27781&p=285360#p285360

Starcraft is still in business, and could probably make you one. I know for sure that Alumacraft will (or at least would when I dealt with one), send a replacement if you needed.

This is the brake I use. Chicago Dreis and Krump BPO 612-6. Capable of bending 6' of .125 (or 12 gauge steel), and pans (hatch lids) up to 6 inches deep. Weighs well over 2500 pounds. My machine is about 30 years old, and I'm not going to say how many thousands I paid for it, but it was an...

Drop in box for the tackle trays.
