    Jon Boat measurement

    Sounds like it to me too, the tag has been changed like Rich said. Different states have different requirements. Maybe it didn't have to be registered if 10 ft or below, or some thing like that..my jon didn't have a tag or a HIN/VIN number... Was told it was a pre1970's and they didn't come with...

    Trailer light mounting

    I moved mine up on the guide post because mine were doing the same thing. I have to move the license plate though, it flops around and has raked the plastic mount under the light. It gets to much wind up high. Not a very good picture, but they stay high and dry

    Re bunking my trailer, have some questions

    I rebunked mine last winter, I put them flat, plus put an extra one down the middle. I did it for more support, I put all my gear in the boat. But it worked out great for a walking plank when loading or unloading the boat.

    Anybody use swimbaits?

    So swim baits are tricky, do they make small ones. I know they are not cheap, so I will give the wacky rig a try first. i totally understand about going smaller...the guy that I watched catch fish right beside me is using 2" shiners, casting right on the edge of the Lilly pads and free lines...

    Anybody use swimbaits?

    Hey Was wondering if anybody uses swimbaits, and what kind and color. The reason I ask, I have to go to Fl often for work and stay for a couple a months at a time. I have been going to a small lake, water was crystal clear, lily pads about 3-4 feet from shore around most of the lake. I've...

    Tin Boats are the way to go but what about inflatables?

    Almost every time I think about getting an inflatable, I think about my Dad telling me this story (several times) about him and my Uncle going frog gigin' in a rubber raft. A snake ended up inside the boat, well... You can figure out what happened after that, they lost most of their gear and had...

    2005 NISSAN 15HP ?

    I've got a 9.8 hp nissan 4-stroke.... I'm real happy with it, just got not to long ago. Super easy on fuel, idles nice, a bit heavier than my old 2-stroke, but well worth the trade in my opinion. Don't worry with mixing fuel and every thing that goes along with it. I had my doubts about a...

    Gas can distance from Motor

    I have a 12/36 with a nissan 9.8 hp 4-stroke. I moved my fuel tank all the way to the front and didn't have any problems, I even had to build up the transom for a long shaft. It did even out the weight in the boat, I could probably move my battery and TM up there too.
