I have a 1974 Evinrude 25hp. Thing is an absolute machine. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Boat is rated for 5 people or 950lbs. Today it had 3 people and the dog, about 625lbs total, and a full livewell, and planed easily and topped out at 19mph. Which is not blazing but is by far as fast as...

Well, the boat is finished. I took her out on the water today and that thing was as solid as a rock. I was worried about taking out the middle seat, but I honestly believe it was more solid without the bench, as I screwed the wood into the ribs so that took out any flex. I did not lose any...

Boat is welded, and painted with Parker's Duck Boat paint in "Dead Grass" color. I am going over with stencils this weekend and will post finished pics soon. I use marine plywood on the bottom and sealed it after I took this, and it gave it a nicer finish and will be somewhat more non-slip and a...

Left one out.

The Trailer is done! I replaced the old rollers with new ones, and built bunks for the bottom. I also built a "bunk" for the boat to sit flush against when pulled tight, as any roller never did fit right. I painted it with Parker Duck Boat Paint in a "deadgrass" color, and painted the wheel a...

Trailer has all the paint ground off and was primed today! Parker's boat paint is going to be here wednesday and I will be painting her then!

I haven't. Me and a buddy just stood on both sides and pushed as hard as possible. I know that is in no way a legitimate test, although it did surprise me how strong it was. I believe if I plan to put 1/2" or 3/4" plywood down and make it as tight a fit as humanly possible, while screwing it to...

Middle seat out. I do not notice any give or any difference in it being out. That is only with me and another standing on each side pushing tho. It has no give. I believe I'm going to switch my original idea and put marine plywood on the floor and use the aluminum I have on hand to build a...

smackdaddy, I see you took out the seats on yours, but I'm worried mine might now be stable enough since I'm not putting braces on it like yours. I really need some help here guys, tell me what you think! Also, what's the best way to get that paint off so I can repaint it?

Hey guys, I have learned a lot reading the information over the past year or so. I have decided to try some modifications to my '88 Polar Kraft 1652 that I mainly use for some summertime fishing and blasting ducks. What I want to do is remove the middle bench, place foam between the ribs and...

I do not know anywhere where electronic calls are legal for regular season waterfowl.

Looks awesome.

1654 Flat with 25hp evinrude, hits 25 with me and the dog. Thats as fast as I will ever need to go.

No doubt the flat bottom, when wider, is more stable. However, across a large lake, and I mean really large, a flat bottom can get a little choppy. Go with the biggest boat you need and can afford. Can't go wrong there.

I had the same size boat and used 1/2" plywood sealed, and then put cheap marien carpet from lowes on it. Looks great and it exceptionally functionals. Of course it did add weight but not so much that it drastically changed the way the boat rode.

Hello, I'm from the piedmont of NC, and occasionally like to hunt and fish when I can get away from work. I own a 14' Gamefisher and a 16' Polar Kraft. I am the proud owner of a few dogs and my youngest, a yellow lab is also my hunting and fishing buddy. I look forward to getting to know some...

Thing is sweet!
