    1994 Sea Ark 20 foot Pointed-nose Utility??

    I bought a Sea ark mcbass 170 a year and a half ago. I did the same thing by calling Sea ark and getting a brochure. I love mine but it has a 90/65 jet... I use this boat for skinny water... Also like you I had a title issue. I resolved mine finally but it was a pain in the butt... best of luck.

    GPS maps of areas real time.

    I am looking at two scenarios. Do I get an app for my phone or a device to give me a map of a lake, river etc... real time to see my current position? preferably I lean to the App for costs and not adding another device. I am looking for suggestions and even thought of getting an simple Garmin...

    Sea Ark 1652 tunnel jet?

    I have a seaark mcbass 170 similar boat, but I have a 90/65 on the back of mine and to be honest It is way faster than I need on the rivers near me, but just in case it is there... my old Lowe Big john 16/52 had a 25 prop on it and it handled 2 adults and 2 teens with our 90 lab... not the...

    Penn reels

    old threads die hard... I just upgraded my spinning reels to a 3500 slammer 3 and a 3500 spinfisher. I use these reels predominately for smallmouth in the james river in Virginia, but do plenty of surf casting in the outerbanks. So I wanted reels I could freshwater rinse and they would live more...

    Johnson 90/65 Opinions?

    Hey Rotus thanks and as soon as the water warms and I finish my deck and patio we can take it out. I am plenty satisfied doing 32 on the water as the motor sits, but good to know it is only a small upgrade to 115. I do fish mostly east of Columbia though I have kayaked near Scottsville and...

    Angle Grinder Strip Disc?

    I used this type after using GOOF OFF Paint stripper. No issues with being too aggressive and brought the boat down to bare metal and ready for painting. https://shop.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_8090.jpg On another note...

    where to buy brush/roller bedliner in light tan

    After removing the carpet and getting down to bare aluminum I primed the areas and I attempted to test my rattle can skills.... lets just say I cannot spray... besides that I wanted a thicker coating. Weight is not an issue since only my son and I will be in the boat. Thanks in advance...
