Thanks for the info on the prop. Fantastic news. $50 no brainer.. Now I need to find a prop shop. CF

Took her out for a test run today. My 1986 Johnson ran great until I hit the higher RPM's and it felt like the prop lost thrust and the RPMS went way up. The pin is just fine on the propeller. Any suggestions.

WOW what a lot of work. When I started reading your thread I had no idea you would go this far. Great job! CF

Things are getting closer every day. Its framed out and the plywood and supports have been weather sealed. I used Thompson weather seal. I hope that is good enough. Cutting out forms today using a cardboard jig. Added extra Buoyancy and Carpet next. Any suggestions are always welcom...

Started the decking today, sorry no pics. I purchased 2x4's as well as some 2x2's. 16 - 3" 1/4 galvanized bolts washers and nuts and 16 deck joint braces, just wait you'll see. Things went well. Here in Texas in went from April to August in one day so not much done today.

Day 2. I decided to paint the boat rather then giving it a mirror polish. I needed to get off the oxidation and grime off the boat before I can paint it so I used an old paint stripper and gave it shot to see if it work and yes it did. However, I needed to get a drill with higher RPMS to...

OK this is the first day of my first boat restoration project. I have many questions and welcome any suggestions. What I have is a 14' modified V hull. Wanting to add front casting deck, trolling motor, batteries, etc. I also have a 15hp Johnson that works great. I filled the boat with...

I have been following tinboats for a while and I am amazed with the boat modifications that have been done and I am seeking any advice, input, links, sample projects etc - And this is my first boat project. I just acquired a 1446 Sports Kraft. (Do not know the age) It is 14 feet to the bow...

Great photos! I especially like the heron shot with the frog. It's nice to see wildlife photographed from a different perspective. Keep up the good work. Chase Fountain Texas Parks and Wildlife photographer https://imagesbychase.smugmug.com/
