    Any interest in a water pickup system?

    I actually like the product and totally see its value, but I don’t understand this attitude. It’s a niche product and not everyone here understands saltwater flats fishing and has a context for what this does. You need to be more patient with people. You and your product are one and the same...

    New Jon Boat Project

    Bob, I just finished redoing my front deck and some doors using PVC board. It is pricey, but it worked pretty well, it's light, and it will not rot. I got 3/8x4x8 sheets at Lowe's. I fiberglassed the larger areas and doors for some added rigidity, and it worked pretty well. I was originally...

    Benjineer's Lund S-16 Mod

    Oh so close.... I hope to get her in the water this weekend. I’m not quite done yet, but it’s far enough along I can use it. New bilge pump should be here today, and I need to get an anchor light socket. After that, the livewell setup is pretty much all that’s left, functionally. I may add...

    Thanks. I’m looking forward to finally getting some use out of it.

    Benjineer's Lund S-16 Mod

    A little more progress. I also think I got my old trolling motor patched up. It’s an MG SWDS54. It’s been in storage for years, and I finally decided to fix it or junk it. The gearing for the electric steer was rusted up. I got that cleaned and working. Prop would come on sometimes and...

    82 14 foot fisher marine conversion

    The bigger the motor the more you will need to keep the bow down. I bet a 30 will push that boat pretty well, maybe faster than you want to go, LOL.

    86 Starcraft BASSV170 Rebuild/refit

    I understand that for sure. I'll never get mine done if I keep second-guessing myself. Mine won't be that pretty, but I want it functional and a little different than a stock layout.

    I suggest getting the Marinco twist-lock type or similar. I had nothing but trouble with the regular plug-in type.

    1972 Mirrocraft 16' V aka "The bigger boat"

    Looking good. Go ahead and sell that 25 and start looking for at least a 40 with power t&t, LOL! I went from 20, to 25, to 50. Once I'm done with all the latest mods I may be looking for a 60 e-tec or similar.

    Nice work so far. Nice hull and very clean work. I wish I were that patient.

    Where I left it yesterday. Planning to glass the outside of the livewell and work on plumbing before I can put the deck on. I haven’t decided how to get water in and out. I know I want a separate fill and recirc. The drain is going to be the hardest part. I’d like to put a thru hull under...

    A little trim and a lot of foam. Should deaden some sound and shock and keep it afloat if the worst ever happens.

    Benjineer's Lund S-16 Mod

    This is getting real. I’m over $1000 deep in this mod already, but it’s going to be right this time. I didn’t say pretty, but it’s going to be done well. I’m thinking I may scrap the front plate on the console to redo the layout. The steering wasn’t in the original plan. I just picked up a...
