I found the picture of the boat I would like to use as a model for my mods. I am pretty sure the boat owner is a member here so I cropped the shot just in case. If this is your boat and you do not want me to post the photo PM and I will take it down. It has been a while since I saved it so I...

I have not fished Somerville although I heard the White Bass are hitting good right now. I prefer Gibbons Creek but need a motor now.

I am in Bryan fishing fool. Ranchero, I may build a dock some day with an attached dry dock for the boat but for now I just pull it out of the water for the winter. And more importantly, anything I spend on a dock takes away from boat mod money! I fixed the trolling motor last night and put...

I think you need to hang a 75 horse Johnson or Evinrude off the back and go fishing...why waste time decking an aluminum boat.

Howdy TinBoat Fans, I picked up my Lowe 1457 last February after buying a MFG 12' jon boat, trailer and 5hp Evinrude. The MFG was too small for my needs and uncomfortable with 6" high bench seats so I sold the boat and kept the motor and trailer. The Lowe was really underpowered with the...

I screwed some 2x4's together sandwiching a 1x6 rudder about 24" long and mounted it to the transom with c-clamps tonight. It was completely below the bottom of the boat. The wind was blowing around 15mph and it was still trying to spin the stern around especially with a tailwind, going into the...

Why is it a pain? It seems like without weight in the back of my boat it sits "on" instead of "in" the water.

At first I was thinking quick detach like a trolling motor but I fish a private lake most of the year. Our lake is very shall in places so I wonder if a pivoting rudder would be a good idea. It may dig into the mud even if it pivots though. I am ready to fish, it's been a few weeks so I need...

Hey, I resemble that comment :D I was thinking of something similar, but have more questions. Does it need to be below the bottom of the boat to be effective? Is it really a leeboard since it's fixed? I think I used the incorrect terminology.

I moved my TM to the bow of my 1456 Lowe and tried running it on our lake a few weeks ago. There was a moderate wind blowing, probably 10 mph and the boat was constantly switching ends. It was extremely annoying, so much so that I gave up fishing for the day and pulled the boat out of the water...

Just a quick introduction to my project. After buying and selling a few boats and motors I ended up with a Lowe 1456 and a trailer for a 10' jon boat. My Lowe is in very good condition and will be used on a private lake 95% of the time but I still want to customize it for my use which includes...

I see two possibilities if you place a hinge at the back of the seat full width: 1. Use hinges in the corner to allow the corners to swing down when you raise the hatch. 2. Let the corners be fixed. 3. Leave a cutout of the motor mount toggles.

It's not my Lund, I found the website searching for ideas for my Lowe. I won't start my Sea Nymph until winter, I fish until November when hunting season begins and don't want to take the boat off the water. I am on a private lake so I try to fish every day, weather and kids activities/homework...

I am new here but thought I would post a link to a nice build I found searching for "boat conversions" rather than "jon boat conversion". It's a Walleye boat but it has some nice ideas. https://www.correllconcepts.com/boat_conversion.htm I will post again and show pictures of my 1456 Lowe Sea...
