Btw there is a 2017 sea ark 1652 with a 25hp evinrude with 32hours for sale on austin craiglist. He want 7500 and has clean titles. And has a really nice trolling motor. He would probably sell for less

I live in austin texas and have bought and sold my fair share of boats. That boat is overpriced but its a fair price if you are gonna be financing. They have to make money. Cash I would pay around 5 or 6 at the most. I recently bought a 1994 grumman 1444 with a 25hp evinrude. I paid 2700 and I...

Thanks man, really appreciate your insight. Tested it at the lake today in the worst possible condition. Winds were over 15mph and the water was really choppy. Boat ran great and the ride was not bad. I expected worse. The only reason I fisb is to bond with my son

Well see, ill will be testing today. Its rated for 50hp which sounds unsafe. 30 seems like a good match. The boat is heavy

So I bought a new to me boat. Its a 1992 rivertrail 15ft flat bottom. Its 42 inches wide. I really didnt need another boat but I thought it was a good deal. I can flip it for a couple hundred more if I dont like it. I paid 1500. Bought it because my other boat is really old and I got a good...

I got this boat for 100 without a title. I was able to obtain a title finally. And today I scored this 2004 mercury 15hp for 200. In all im only 500 in this thing. Motor wasnt running but I finally got it running and great. Motor sat for 10 years, its practically new. Its a father and son...

I dont really know much about this anchor system. Previous owner installed on the boat last year. Im using a different system. Works great 40 shipped

Also I counted the holes, its only 8 holes not 10

I think thats my best solution, they are in the middle so it might actually help reinforce

Im about ready to install my mew transom on my project but the po drilled holes for lights, transducer etc... i dont need the. Theres 10 holes total to plug, since the transom wood backs up to them I cant plug them with bolts and nuts. Ive been thinking of drilling thru the transom and putting...

Thanks for that info, I plan to use it and I mostly want it so I can teach my son to fish and keep him out of trouble. The boat was made in the 70's, its still very solid. Ill probably start a build thread

Yeah its a 2 stroke, no that heavy. Im gonna try it out. I think it will work, I put the trolling motor and battery up front to level out the boat

Yeah 20hp sounds about right, only reason im considering using a 25 is because i already own a 25hp. If its too much for this boat id have to sell the 25 and get a 20

What it looked like when i got it Benches were rotted and transom also

Anyone have any info on this brand of boat? I picked it up for free because it needed a new transom, benches and had a skipped title. I got it because I wanted the trailer. I removed the old transom and found zero corossion, boat is real solid. Someone did a really good paint job on it. I...

Thanks for your reply, i didnt know it was called a knee. Maybe thats why I couldnt find info on google. Just to be sure, its ok to use bolts on the knee part thet connects the floor of the boat to the knee?

Hey guys, im helping a buddy replace the transom on his 14ft aluminum boat. Theres no way to remove the transom from the top since the caps are welded. The easiest way seems to be to remove the transom support bracket on the floor. Its held on with rivets. If we remove the rivets could we...

Does anyone know what size rivets lone star used? My boat is a 1960 king commander. I can tell it has 2 different size rivets. Trying to fix a leak the right way. Thanks

Got done with my last project and ended up selling it to a buddy that really wanted it. Picked this lone star up for $500 , i added a trolling motor and built a removable deck and i already had a mercury 20 hp tiller, not expecting much from it for the price but its my first riveted boat and...
