I have a 1542 Alweld Jon boat with a steel trailer. The length of the tongue has always been an issue, so I added a swing away joint (Fulton). I added 5-feet to the tongue and now it seems about perfect. I have seen some videos where they recommend running the safety chain back to the original...

The boat I bought used is an Alweld 1542. It's a 1996 model. It has a "Coastguard approved" sticker but there is no sticker for maximum horsepower rating, occupancy, or weight limits. I thought about contacting Alweld but there is no way to contact them through their website and their Facebook...

The boat is a new to me 1996 1542 Alweld. I bought it used but in great condition. The previous owner made the floors. I added the foam, electronics, trolling motor, rod mounts, seats, etc. I'm pretty happy! This is a ton more room than my plastic SunDolphin had! My only issue for now is the...

I recently have been fixing up a Jon boat I bought used. I noticed today the fenders on the trailer have no backing plate. So there is an opening between the tires and the boat. Do you see that as an issue? I might could fashion something, but I'm not sure if it's needed? Also, there is not a...

I have for sale a like new ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 outboard motor with the battery. It also comes with the carrying bag and solar charger kit. The total invested here is close to $3,000. I would like to get $2,000 for a local sale (NE Texas). If shipping is involved, we can discuss the cost. I...

I have a 15 foot Alweld that has the basic two seat configuration. Behind the rear seat is the battery on one side and the fuel tank on the other. I am debating about where to place the onboard battery charger on this boat. My first instinct is to attach it to the back of the rear seat, or to...

I have an Alweld 1542 boat on a painted steel boat trailer. It has a Minn Kota foot control motor and a 15HP Mercury outboard. Add in some accessories, but generally it's a relatively light boat (compared to a bass boat). The trailer has basically new 12 inch wheels like you get from Walmart (5...

A couple of questions... I have a boat that the previous owner installed a mounting plate for an old (80s or 90s?) Motor Guide foot control motor. Id like to replace it with a MinnKota Edge foot control. Does anyone here know how wide the mounting holes are on an Edge? I'm hoping I can get it...

I have an older 1960s V-hull aluminum boat. I bought it used to use on a pond. There are lots of drill holes from previously mounting things. I will be repainting soon. Is there anything I can fill these with that looks good vs just silicone?

I have some Railblaza tracks that I had on my plastic boat that I would like to install on my new Alweld. I have lots of accessories already for it. I was thinking of adding aluminum angle along the edge and then mounting the tracks to that, but I'm not sure how that would work. Any ideas?

Hello everyone! About two years ago I decided to buy a small Jon boat and ended up with a Sundolphin American 12 plastic boat. I have been very, very unhappy with that boat. It's extremely tippy and has no floor drainage. Today I picked up a used Alweld 1542 and I'm excited to get this boat out...
