Ok works been crazy and these heat waves did me no justice. So I really have been slacking. But She's painted. I hit one snag which I will need to fix before I start phase 2, wood. I tried this Spray Grip clear coat... All it did was eat up my paint job on the interior, luckily I only used it...

Well, I've had the boat a few years now. I was able to get it fully titled and clean with the state (in NJ it's a real pain if it's an old boat with no #s ) So I've cleaned it well, sanded it well, etched it, primed it and given it 3 solid coats. Then, Hurricane Sandy hit, and it got nicked up...

I am swapping out my 12' Sears V hull's transom. It's old and rotten. I already cut and treated my pieces. My main questions is... Do most recommend using a silicone or adhesive of some sort for connecting the wood to the boat? I have my bolts and T-nuts already. I wasn't sure if people only...

lucky for you guys. in jersey, its a nightmare to get a used boat registered. they are insanley strict.

So My boat was pretty much put on hold this summer and fall. Life got busy than expected with the up coming wedding. I want to touch some spots up on my boat and seal my newly cut transom. do i need to run like a btu heater in my garage. I live in nj and its relatively 20-40 all winter long? I...

Sorry for the photo delay. Im going with two tone Hunter Green / Almond Gloss (minor issue with the almond gloss, that being my wife to be droped the boat on its side while we were moving it and now have the pleasure of picking the leaves or grass blades of my slightly tacky paint ) But the...

Thanks

Does anyone have recommendations for seal/stain for the transom wood?

First shot of the primer try. The wind was not a friend to me this weekend. Im hoping some sunny, not so breezy days this week let me finish sanding a few spots and finish the primer.

12' Vhull, Sears boat, est 30 yrs old or so. Phase One: sand, paint, new wood, sand and stain or oars, add handles Phase Two: add casting space, flooring+framing (trick is i want it removable) Phase Three: (braingstorming, ha.) Today I began lightly sanding the boat after washing it down...

I'd love to find out too the lakes me are sometimes so dark I could see something like that being helpful. If anyone needs them tested in NJ I'm in ha.

Thanks, I hit up Auto Zone, snagged a 83.00 deep cycle, works perfect on the 45lb thrust. Went all weekend on it with pretty much 1 charge. Appreciate the tips.

OK keeping it as simple as it can. I had an Old Die Hard Deep Cycle 31 size. I think its shot. I am looking my best bang for my buck. Its a 12' V and I have a Endura 45 4x4 motor which works fine. I got over 6 + hours of fishing with that last model. I need a new battery, I need cost at a...

Actually had a great run once we hit around 12pm. 67 deg. Decently Breezy, Mix sun/clouds My Buddy and I took my kayaks out the lake I live on. They don't allow motors :( So my on going V hull project only sits on my lake unless I row or long paddle it around ha.

Same here, I have nearly an identical boat. I like your front casting deck made for the bow mount motor. how did u set that up?

OK, it's a 12' Semi V, in awesome condition, not leaks, and pretty good transom. I'd say the boat is maybe 80lbs now, tops. I have a pickup, I can put it in my bed or trailer, or even use my roof rack if i wanted too. Transportation is easy. The boat is light enough where me and my Father...

after reading more and more amongst these forums, i think I will opt for a wood setup. when the basework for the frame is installed, do most people use self taping type screw with marine goop? or sealant? or some people simple make it a "snug" fit? Thanks

Ok so via google image this is the size and type of boat i bought. I will post picks of mine when i get home from work. Mine its in better shape, but the seat and deck layout would be the same I plan on some form of flooring, but definately plan on the casting deck, I want to build a bowmount...

Pretty much what it says. How does everyone reccomend affixing the initial frame work 2x4's etc to the boat. I dont know what everyone preference is? I have a 12' Gamefisher Semi V. Its in great shape and Im looking to start my self with a front casting deck. The construction of the decking...

I really like the mod here because its so functional and simple. I have a 12' V hull i recently bought. I plan on doing a similar type setup as displayed here. But I guess my real question is, what are the typical ways that one would attach the base framework of the front deck. Is it just a snug...
