    1648 stability

    Yeah, my girlfriend works at bass pro and I stopped by to see her on her break and while there i started talking to an ol' timer who lives on lake O and he said he's been slayin' on a wacky worm. I was up at istokpoga for New Years and it was pretty slow, mostly due to the cold weather.

    1648 stability

    I live in Deerfield beach, right on the boca line. I don't have any plans to deck it out. The new alumacraft Sierra comes with an aluminum floor so the would also cut down on the weight of a wood floor too. I'm just looking for a stable fishing platform to get me off the banks and out in the...

I'm in south florida and a 30-35hp seem far and few between but 25 hp are everywhere. Would there be a huge...

    So after lots and lots of searching craigslist and only finding over priced boats that still needed tons of work I've decided to go new. I'm trying to get measurements for a 1648mv on a trailer to see how much I'll need to expand my gate to get it in the yard. I have about 8 feet in width, which...

    Possibly found a boat. Need opinions.

    So I ended up getting the boat last night. It seems to be in decent shape. Now the question I have is, the guy I purchased it from never transferred the title into his name. The title is filled out and he has signed it as the purchaser. In fl does anyone know what what I'm going to have to do...

    Possibly found a boat. Need opinions.

    Yeah that is what I was thinking as well but from what I've read on here this could cause extra stress to the boat. I really like the idea of it being so open. Is there certain areas I should look at in the boat for stress cracks ( not sure if that's the correct term, that's just the term we use...

    Possibly found a boat. Need opinions.

    I found a 1648 on Craigslist for 300. The boat looks to be in a rougher condition even tho the owner said it didn't leak. My worries were that the benches have been taken out of the boat and it's open. Is there anything I need to be worried about? Also how hard would it be to make new branches...
