The 18hp that i had on the boat was one that i picked up for 100 bux off a friend of mine and needless to say it was "tired". It was begining to be a money pit (i.e. working on it all week just to use it 2 days on the weekend). Anyway, i wanted something a little more dependable and it just...

Well its been a little cold here around my neck of the woods but i guess you can always count on the sheephead! a nice 4.5 pounder. luckily the bull reds are still around but not as common as they were a couple months ago. im sure it will kick back off good around march or so. just working...

the angle is 2x2x1/8. i wanted 1/4 but couldnt find it at a reasonable price. i was a little worried about the strength of it but when it was all built, i think the transom will fall off before the jack plate will flex! i got 4 inches of setback and 3.5 inches of rise out of it and the 2x12...

i was thinking the same thing about the grain of the wood but it was a 2x12 that i had from a previous project and it fit the jack plate perfectly. im definitely going to tether the motor to the boat ive seen what happens when its not!

I got around to building a legit jack plate finally. im really happy how it turned out should give me a few more inches and a couple mph too. my little tin is turning into a flats boat slowly but surely! let me know what you guys think!

I probably could but i just havent tried it yet. i guess 8-10 is where my limit is not the boat's!

thanks. for the paint i used hunters specialties camo paint on the outside and rustoleum topside on the inside then i splattered it with black and dark green rustoleum. o and i had to cut the little jack plate off! the new motor i got was just a little short for it. i can still rum flat out...

So i did some more work to the boat this weekend. got the sides painted and i built a little tiller extension with pvc. i think it turned out pretty good. its going to sit right where i need it when i get the rear deck installed. I took her out for a test run on friday and boy let me tell...

yeah im going to cut a piece of 1/8 aluminum sheet today to fit the little jack plate i made to stiffen it up a bit. i believe they are stainless bolts in the transom i dont know i had them laying around from a previous project. i put the motor on last night and it seemed pretty sturdy. i...

so i started on my little flats boat conversion today. i feel like i have a pretty good platform to start with. its a 1977 monark 1432. i know what everybody says about decking a 1432 but i think i'll be ok as im coming from fishing on a kayak and this is like the titanic compared to that so...

hey all, just bought a 1432 monark and i'm ready to start modding it. i plan on turning it into a mean little flats boat for chasing reds and trout around the grass flats where i live. i have an 18hp merc thats going on the back of it, I hope its not too much! (I tried it out on my friends...
