    Broken Cross Members, Repair Q (pics)

    dont think a little welding will hurt your rivets, its electricity from other things such as lights and radios not grounded to the batt. using the boat for a ground does that after a while. weld it up and ride on i say

    Grumman Canoe - caved in bottom

    Hey don't even worry about the dent when you get it home fill it a little less than half with water and if it doesn't leak wash it and call it good the more you beat and bang on it the more the metal will stretch and it looks like rivets down the center line and you don't want those leaking

    New merc outboard

    Yep I agree but think of this if they are real and you really talk to a live person that is one serious mark down that could really help in buying a motor here. Think I'm gonna dig a little deeper into that and then go prod my little dealer here and see just how right he can get his heart

    What's up with the carpet on the bunks

    I like the composite Z. Looks like that would be better than pieces spaced out good solid ride like that, plus I think by having a full length wouldn't create any pressure points or snags

    New merc outboard

    Who has the best price on new merc four strokes ?
  18. M

    1648 stability

    One thing I forgot to mention is when my boat was built it was rated for 35 hp four strokes weren't that popular so since mine has a 16 inch transom and 20 inch sides I was worried that a forty hp four stroke would push it down a little to far so I plan on loading about 120pounds of block in...

    1648 stability

    I have pretty much a similar boat it's a16/48 Lowe big Jon and I'm a big dude I have no decking or anything like that it will roll a little and sag to one side sometimes but it will only go so far. Once you get comfortable with it you won't even notice it they are pretty stable in my opinion but...

    What's up with the carpet on the bunks

    Wouldn't the boat sitting on the cutting board be the same as sitting on just plain wood and it really seems that if its just sitting on some pieces of cutting board instead of the flush ride of a whole board length that it Would create pressure points on the boat. Now Im thinking like a redneck...
