Here's my little rig. It's a PLASTIC ammo box,$3 at HF. A 8AH sealed battery in it with styrofoam padding to keep it secure. The battery is leakproof and so is the ammo can, And it floats!

My suggestion is this. I know you don't want to put the boat on a trailer but have you considered getting a 5x10 flatbed trailer and hauling the boat that way? Its a lot easier to get the boat off something that is close to the ground. I use a 4x8 flat to haul my 10 ft john to small waters like...

If new 4 stroke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Yamaha If used 2 stroke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,evinrude/Johnson Avoid all others, especially Mercury

I have an oppotunity to buy a 8 foot johnboat hull for $50. I was thinking of making it into a hand launch boat for one specific area. I'm too chicken to go the kayak route. The problem is that it's just a bare hull with no seats.I'd have to make a seat out of aluminum and secure it to the sides...

Everything looks great! That white paint on the trailer looks exceptionately nice. My only suggestion would be to cover the bunks with vinyl instead of carpeting as the latter will absorb salt water and cause corrosion on the hull. If you don't go out in salt, it won't matter.

God deal! As a one time member of the 3rd. Infantry division pistol team I only have good things to say about Hi Powers. The best auto loading pistols ever made boil down to three: .45 ACP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Colt 1911A1 9MM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Browning Hi Power .380,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Walther PPKS IMHO

Wow! You do good work! Do you work cheap? lol that trailer looks new!

I live in Florida too and have tried many things over the tears. Concrete block absorbs water and when heated, cracks. I can't imagine that anything you use to cement the blocks together won't deteriorate from the intense heat of an open flame. Perhaps your best bet is to take the whole thing...

Okay. Here's my EL Cheapo idea. Take a threaded plumbing flange and attach it to the rear of the boat. Screw a 2 inch nipple into that Screw a "T" onto the nipple Get a section of thin wall conduit and cut a point on one end and fashion a wood handle on the other The conduit slides through the...

Wow! You got your stuff off Amazon? I gotta remember that. Thanks for the tip. Next boat I work on, I'm definately checking them out! Thanks again.

When I rebuilt my trailer, I did much the same as you. Harbor Freight became my buddy! New: Winch 25 Ft. winch strap Folding jack Submersible Lights Two inch coupler Bearing Buddies and Bra's New wheels and tires too. Made guide-ons out of pvc front and rear

I did the same thing with a Richline 14 ft'er You don't have to get all the paint off, just the loose stuff. I used Rustoleum primer and paint and it worked out fine. Two coats of white primer, 3 days to dry between coats, and yellow gloss to top coat. Three coats. Dark blue for the trim so as...

Wow! That is really complete! Didn't know the pump housing was plastic though

I have the same kind of battery for mine. I put it in a plastic ammo can that I got from Harbor Freight. Put some styrofoam padding in it for a snug fit and connected a quick disconnect wire fitting to it.

Ummmmmmm, I hate to mention this, but when you ran the 9.9 for a few seconds,,,,,,,,,,,,, if you ran it dry, you may have destroyed the impeller. Sorry

Yeah, rustoleum being oil based, takes awhile to dry. I painted my boat with it. I used the white primer for the first coat and let it dry for 2 or 3 days then used the top coat with a 6 inch roller.

And NEVER< NEVER<NEVER buy a boat without a title!

I'd just leave it be. It's not going to fall down and any bugs living in the cracks will get toasted with each fire
