This type of thing is why I eventually bought my own land to hunt on. It's only 60 acres but I have fishing and hunting without worry over someone screwing with me.

I finally got the boat out yesterday and the trailer with the larger wheels worked great. No rubbing that I can find.

Work kind of kept me busy and then a couple of vacations. I finally got the boat out on the water yesterday and it's so much nicer than that plastic SunDolphin I was using! I am going to enjoy fishing out of this boat! Everything worked as it should, with the exception of a minor motor issue...

This is still for sale. It's basically brand new. Asking $1600.

Correct, and thanks for clarifying. I called an ex employee today who is a game warden and she said she had never heard of a game warden checking that.

Thanks for the reply. The question I was asking is whether not having that sticker/plate could result in a ticket from a game warden.

The boat I bought used is an Alweld 1542. It's a 1996 model. It has a "Coastguard approved" sticker but there is no sticker for maximum horsepower rating, occupancy, or weight limits. I thought about contacting Alweld but there is no way to contact them through their website and their Facebook...

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I think it came together well.

I'll do that. Unfortunately, I had a little surgery two weeks ago that makes sitting kind of tender. But I'm hoping to test it out this week.

That's actually my little portable cooler for drinks. The cleats and bungee came from Lowe's.

Still available.

The boat is a new to me 1996 1542 Alweld. I bought it used but in great condition. The previous owner made the floors. I added the foam, electronics, trolling motor, rod mounts, seats, etc. I'm pretty happy! This is a ton more room than my plastic SunDolphin had! My only issue for now is the...

I added the Railblaza tracks to both sides of the boat. I did use stainless tapping screws and I'm aware the stainless will eventually interact with the aluminum. I may add some aluminum rivets eventually, but for now it's quite tight and works well.

Here's a pic.

I recently have been fixing up a Jon boat I bought used. I noticed today the fenders on the trailer have no backing plate. So there is an opening between the tires and the boat. Do you see that as an issue? I might could fashion something, but I'm not sure if it's needed? Also, there is not a...

Thanks for the response. It was a worry at first but I think there is plenty of room there. If I find it's an issue, I'll have a welder raise the fenders, but I don't think it'll be necessary.

It went from Load Range C to D.

Thanks everyone, I think it was a worthwhile upgrade. In just looking at it, I think this is what this trailer was designed for and perhaps someone had gone down to 12s for some reason. It's a 1996 trailer, so nearly 30 years old.

I made the upgrade from 12 inch bias to 13 inch radials. I have not tried it out yet but it fit perfectly and I think it was a good upgrade. Attached are the originals and the new wheels and tires.
