Helping a buddy look into re-powering his boat with a 40HP What would be a good manufacturer to look into for this? It's going on a 16ft boat. Preferably something that will get him good miles per gallon and on the lighter side. Been looking at Evinrude E-techs and comparing them to...

Hello, I have a 15HP which currently setup as a tiller steer. I use it on an old 15ft Fisher Marine, which has a panfish seating layout, and I'm considering stick steer. Is my motor compatible with the remote controls to make stick steering possible? If so, does anyone happen to know what...

Took a gamble and snagged an old 1971- 6HP Evinrude at a moving sale at a real bargain. Guy claimed it sat in his garage for about a decade and hadn't been run, but was maintained pretty good by his father in law when it was in use. A visual inspection checked out, overall it didn't look too...

I'll be purchasing a new Jon Boat later this summer. I currently have an Alumcraft 1436L, which is great for fishing small lakes and ponds etc. However, it's a little small when you start bringing gear and try to fish with 3 people. Although I normally only fish with one other person. I want a...

I'm going to upgrade my Jon boat from a 1436 to a 1648 by the end of the summer and will be purchasing a trailer as well. The only boat trailer that I've owned is a LONG trailer and it's done the job for my 1436, but I''ll likely sell it with my 1436 later this summer. Any advise on a good...

From what I understand some boat manufacturers use wood in the transom. (under the aluminum) Is the Tracker manufactured in such a way? I'm likely going to upgrade my old Alumacraft 1436L for something a little larger and without a center seat. I am considering the Alumacraft 1648 NCS as an...

I'd like to find someone local that can do a few modifications to a 1436 Alumacraft. I plan on buying a bigger boat this summer that is capable of fishing 3 people, but I also plan on keeping the 1436 since it's relatively light weight and useful for fishing small lakes and reservoirs. I'd like...
