I have a 12/36 flat bottom jon and it is a lot more stable that my brother-laws V bottom as far as fishing and moving around in it. His is a noticeable smoother and my flat bottom is a pretty rough ride at times. I can stand up and fish with my dog moving around in the boat and he is 80lb. I...

It wouldn't matter to me if the motor had problems below 20 degrees... You won't find me out on the water when it's that cold ...LOL. That's nuts. BRRR!

Congrats on retirement.... Where in North Carolina are ya heading? I spend the most of the year here near Asheville.

I made mine out plexiglass , but it's only a 6hp. Couldn't find anything small enough for a 6hp that I thought wouldn't cause too much drag. Not really a hydrofoil just a bigger anti cavitation plate, it helped out.

That looks great!..mind if I copy that for my boat.

Some long shafts were made for sail boats with a high torque prop... The range of props for my 4-stroke is 5 to 9, so maybe call a merc dealer, they might have more info. I found my info on the nissan web site.

I switched to bait casters few years ago, after I learned how the reel worked. I started out with short easy casts. Smooth swings when casting, works best for me, the short snap cast I seem to get more birds nest.

I just picked up a 9.8 nissan.. I have to the same thing. What size boat do you?

A man cave ...220 acre lake... Very nice. Congratulation on the new home.

Thanks everyone.

Wow!!!. Looks like it was made from part of one of thoses containers in the background. Who made it, doe it. Have any markings or ID plate? There is formula to detrimine safe load . I'll look it up.

Been practicing knots this evening. I've noticed the braid doesn't slide down and tighten like mono, if you get a loop out on the braid, it will pull apart. And my clippers don't cut it very well, going to have to pick up some small scissors.

I used small carriage bolts and counter sunk them in the wood. Don't need to be very big pressure is pushing down, boat should easy and not drag, which is the only thing that would put pressure on the bolts. Forgot to mention... A 2x4 is it's weakest laying on it side... My trailer had a center...

Never seen the yucatan before, looks easy and fast...does it pass thur the eyes easy?

I took the brackets off and laid the 2x4's flat, and put one down the middle, I've got a flat bottom jon. Like marshman said, I just made sure they were between the ribs. It lowered the boat over 4" and seems to be more solid on the trailer.

Hey everyone I just used braided line for the first time....I know,I know, I might be a bit slow, any way Ive always used a good mono. I was out and got a wicked birds nest on my bait caster, eneded up cutting line and needed to respool. A buddy threw a spool of braided in my boat and told to...

Green pumpkin, Texas rigged. Sometimes shakey head. When I'm pitching...I use a jig with paca crawls.

I wasn't referring to the picture ...it was the post before me.

I have the same problem.... I use a carabiner too.

If you think it's a wieght distribution issue, throw a few sand bags the front. But if your revving to high, that's a different issue.
