Thanks guys! Painting is finished! It turned out great but i wish i could redo the outside of the boat! oh well... Next time! What i went with: All Rustoleum Paint Went with self etching primer on the boat worked great! On the outside what i don't like is that i used a spray can and after i...

Alright, little help is need, i have zero experience in building a boat, dad is helping out a little but i hate to bother him. After going to home depot and asking around i felt like i knew more than any of the workers just by reading stuff online... which was a joke. I need to build a...

Found this motor at a garage sale just looking around. Seller said $70 with the gas can. They said it works. Is it worth it or to resell it?

Okay thanks kscphil ! I will be getting wood soon! Ive been going around garage sales looking if there is anything useful for my boat and found this motor. Didn't buy it yet just trying to see any input from others if it is worth it or not! They said $70 with the gas can, and it works according...

Finally done with trailer after part came in and came up with any idea on how to extend the bunks The bunks originally were on one bracket each and moved vertically, and allowed boat to rest on rollers for the most part Now the boat lays on the bunk and is a lot more stable side to side and...

Insanity, what is the size of your boat? I have plans to build something similar... Hows the buoyancy of the boat? Does it tip a lot?

Thanks! And its a pretty common Polish name

It would be used in the transom... so would it still be good to use? its really heavy also, i don't know if that will be good or not...

Im going to carefully paint the letters white. I have question about the transom, or any ideas for it. Ive seen a lot of posts about not using treated wood. Ive looked it up but i can't tell if it is or not My dad cut these out a while back, but i asked him if this is treated wood or not and...

Update

Yeah thanks, i figured it out a while ago actually, i ordered 2 bunk brackets that will extend the piece of wood and carpet a little longer, because the current way the trailer was built only used 2 brackets and it wasn't very stable. Im putting the two other brackets toward the front of the...

Thank you hopefully i get it done soon!

Graduated from McHenry, in College now, live in Wonder Lake, i bought the boat to use on wonder lake, i spent a lot of time fishing from shore over the past years... Time to change it up and experience fishing from a boat.

Yeah that one looks really clean already! I got mine for really cheap but it is a little messed up with paint and stuff. I kinda wanted a project thought it would be fun. I have a good idea of what i will be doing so we will see how it turns out!

Its coming... Im still at school so the only times i have to work on it is the weekends when i come home. I got two coats of paint on the bottom and i will start the sides this weekend or next weekend. Once school ends it will be a much faster process since i will have time.

Never mind, found and ordered some on amazon.

What is this paint called and where can i find it?
