WTB: Used Grumman 145SS or 165SS or Sylvan/Smokercraft Alaskan 15 DLX. Will also consider a Lund 14 SSV (or WC) or Sylvan 14 Super Snapper. These are the deep semi-v hulls with the split middle seat/walk-thru design and a floor. Needs to be short shaft. Not worried about scratched up paint...

I have an old TM, probably 25 years old. it sat for last 5 years unused at all. Hooked it up to a battery and it was a no-go. Lots of juice in the battery too. Any thoughts on where to start first? My buddy is supposed to be dropping off a voltage meter tonight.

Just ordered hubs for my trailer from these guys. Best prices I found on the net, ordered on thursday morning, had them on Saturday morning. Called the order in and they were very helpful, verifying I was buying the correct hubs for my trailer. Check it out...

ANyone ever use a riding lawn mower battery to start a small outboard? I've got a bad cell in my mini-deep cycle that I use to start my 18 hp 2 stroke. After sitting for a week or two, it wont hold enough charge to start the motor. So I need to replace it soon. I use it to start the motor as...

Posted this on the electrical page but aint getting much response, so here it is again: I've got an old TM, probably 25 years old. The cable from the controller head to the battery is completely disintegrated, insulation is gone, bare wires. Good part is that when I opened up the controller...

I've got an old TM, probably 25 years old. The cable from the controller head to the battery is completely disintegrated, insulation is gone, bare wires. Good part is that when I opened up the controller head to remove the wire, inside the head looks brand new inside! I guess being sealed all...

Beginning to think I have a grounded wire somewhere in the boat, battery keeps losing charge. Added some water & put it on charge. Its gurgling & hissing and some of the water is bubbling out the caps Is this normal? Did I just add too much water? Or is this battery shot?

I keep torturing myself by boat hunting before I have the money to buy. The worst part is that I am finding tons of deals & steals. In parts of the country hardest hit by the bad economy, its definately a buyers market. If you are looking for a boat and dont mind traveling, look in the...

Found a 1969 Lund w/25 hp, trailer, trolling motor, galvanized trailer, etc..for $899. Add says no leaks or dents. Just talked to the guy, says the motor starts on the 1st or second pull, it's already camo'ed, seats etc... Said it came from north Alabama somewhere, so I'm thinking most of...

Found a Lowe Jumbo 16 V with trailer for $800.00 (no motor). Its in good shape Seem like a good buy. Anyone have any experience with this hull??? I dont like the fact it has a center bench and no floor but for $800.00 I think I could live with it, Add a floor and maybe modify later to make...

Still debating my upcoming boat purchase. I remember a couple of guys here have the Smokercraft Alaskan 15 DLX (https://www.smokercraft.com/showroom/ShowModel.aspx?ModelID=763&SeriesID=78) a/o similar hulls. I am considering buying just the Alaskan 15 DLX and keeping my existing trailer & my...

Anyone have any experience with the 25 & 30 hp ETechs? They are a good 20-30 pounds lighter than the same hp 4 strokes. Wondering if the 30 ETech is a good power option for a Lund 16 SSV? Any opinions???

Still got new boat fever. I've been compiling images, specs & stats, going over them all and basically making my self stir-crazy with boat fever. Sorta like some form of self-torture. Any way, I am leaning heavily toward the Lund SSV hulls. https://www.lundboats.com/2009_ssv_18_16_14.html...

Came across yet another boat manufacturer in my quest to find a boat to buy next year. Anybody have any experience with the Grumman/DuraNautic hulls? Specifically, the Grumman Cayuga Split/DuraNautic DSSNT, they appear to be the same hulls. Nice looking boats, open floor plan and nice...

Since I just joined a few weeks ago, I thought I would post some pics of my rig. It's a 1998 SeaNymph (Lowe) 1440M with an 2000 Nissan 18 hp 2 stroke electric start. Bought the boat new in March of 1998, and the motor one year later in October 1999 (right after the 2000s came out). I use it for...

Before posting here, the only place I had heard of 2 stroke restrictions was California (which is not surprising). But know I am reading posts from guys all over the country where they are restricted. HEre in Alabama I dont know of any lakes with such restrictions. We have some very small...

Here's another hull I like, MirroCraft 14 Deep Fisherman 3654. Nice floor plan, livewell, storage and nice & deep. Also the lightest boat I have found in this size & layout, only 290 pounds. Since I can get it in a 15" transom, might be able to push it with my Nissan 18 2 stroke. Only...

Found yet another brand in my search for a boat to buy next year: Princecraft Yukon DLX BT https://www.princecraft.com/Content/en-US/produit/421/Yukon-DLX-BT.aspx Anyone have any experience with them? They look like nice boats, loaded with features and there is a dealer within reasonable...

First an intro: New to the site, just joined. I grew up in northeast PA in Wayne County along Prompton State Park. I've lived in coastal Alabama for the last 20 years. I own a Seanymph 1440 w/an 18 hp nissan 2 stroke, use it for duck hunting & fishing. Owned a Proline 20' CC for 7 years...
