Rob unfortunately there isn't really a short cut. To get to the foam underneath you really have to take it all apart. Seating area and livewell can stay but otherwise its all holding down the floor of the battery/gas compartment

I don't remember the brand of carpet I got but it was thicker then standard. It makes the hatches hard to open at times but not to bad. If I were to do it over again I would add the anti-fatigue padding under the carpet on the front deck, like the newer boats have. Similar to...

I took all my lids off and carpeted them separately. Drill out the boat side rivets on the hinge, so the hinge is still attached to the lid . Cover the lid with a little flap covering the hinge. When you rivet it back on that flap is now held down with the rivet, between the hinge and deck...

Mine had no mount when I got it. New one came with a new mount that I epoxied to the bottom

Do you mean the outlet on the back? If so mine was 2 piece plastic so I just replaced it with one that fit my bilge hose

Replaced it completely. Mine now has a 1000 gph The Rule pump. I have it wired on an automatic float switch and also an override switch on the dash.

I had them all welded up. I had a welding shop do it as I have no experience welding aluminum. They just tig'd around and over the rivets and along the cracks. The welding was nicely done. The steel flex is holding up well on the bottom of the boat. I do still get some leaking, but not enough to...

So I took the boat out yesterday to do some testing with/without the hydrofoil. For reference 77 Johnson 70hp with 13.5x18 stainless Raker prop. It should have 5500 rpm @ WOT - with hydrofoil: 32mph at 4700 rpm - without hydrofoil: 35mph at 5100 rpm Problem is the boat is still porpoises...

My boat is stored inside during the winter so I do not have to worry about snow/ice. It does sit outside from April-November. Cover has been great. It is a trailerable cover but I have only towed with it a couple times. I park the boat in a dirt lot that creates a lot of dust. The cover is...

I used a Rule brand switch that I picked up at BassPro. I didn't take any pictures, but I mounted it on the starboard side adjacent to the live well pump. Mount it with the hinge forward and float facing back. I used epoxy to mount the base to the bottom of the boat. I tapped power off my 50A...

I'm ready to break out of hibernation, I can't wait to get the boat on the water. I went and did a couple things I had wanted to do last year and never got around to. I moved my (2) group 31 batteries for the trolling motor up front. One got put back into the port side compartment in the rear...

Is it gutted? If gutted I would say 4 strong guys.

I made lifting points that span multiple rafters in the garage. I lifted it off the trailer with straps (not the dinky ones) and hung it from the rafters in the garage. The straps were like slings so I was able flip the boat within them. First time I did it with 2 other guys. Second time I...

I just used purple power cleaner with a bit of bleach mixed in to clean out the inside. The prep for the epoxy sucked. We sanded the entire boat and it took forever. Then I just cleaned it with acetone.

The speakers are 6.5" however with the 3/4" floor I had to mount the speaker from the inside of the underseat compartment and the grills are a little off from center

8'-6" x 25'-0" was the size of the roll I got and I used ALL of it aside from the scraps

I would think the boat would get on plane alot easier without the extra 100+ lbs. Under the foam up front is just the boat hull, has ribs that run diagonally forward with the shape of the bow. Ya the rod holders were useless to me as well. Boat has more storage now without them. If you go back...

Have you actually worn out (2) batteries on a 24v system? I fished 6hrs with trolling motor only and my batteries were still at 80% so said my charger. I would think 4 up front would work, but never tried that much weight up there.

Here is a little update on my boat, work has picked up and now I don't have as much free time online. But I am still fishing and working on the boat. As I spoke about above, I picked up a Motor Guide Pro Series 75lb thrust 24v trolling motor. This thing has some serous power. My old 40lb motor...

I actually just went through this. I have had a 12gal tank in the back, fits great but uses 1/2 the space in that compartment. I used to run a 12v motor with the battery upfront in the pass side compartment. I now have a MG pro 75lb thrust 24v motor. I was able to fit 3 batteries (2-G31s and...
