Good stuff Gibson! Really like the way your boat came out.

Looking good Jordan. Make some heavy duty "L" brackets, and mount the front deck to that. You won't have any trolling motor issues. Have fun!

Nice work Bassboy!

I forgot to ask, did you run everything to a fuse block?

Did you get the pump working? I think they can actually be wired backwards.

We'll need pictures! Welcome to the site. You'll find a lot of great info here.

That is one bad duck ride! =D> What did you use for a pattern? Hey, I would have expected a check valve in the pump. I think I looked them up on line, and found that any way. I actually put a "rubber cork" in both the inlet, and outlet. You gonna build a blind for the boat?

Thanks Keystone.

Peter, You're only limited by your imagination. :) Looks to me like you have the 16DLX (as you said). Not knowing where/how you fish, Ill say this. If it was me, I'd go back to the "flat floor". Old school. I'm assuming you are staying with the tiller. If so, I'd cut that bench seat in the...

It was on the lower left corner of the dash. I threw a few pics of my new dash on my thread for your review. You'll see the plate in the lower left of the new dash.

Here's a quick update, and a few pictures. Other than hanging the motor, the boat is basically done for now. I'd like to paint it, but that can wait. I worked on the trailer over the weekend, replaced some lights, and got everything working. All the paperwork is in the mail, and hopefully PENDOT...

From the factory, the boat had a mounting plate on the starboard side. Yours appears to be missing. That was 4-5 holes. You had the trolling motor, fishfinder, and I'm guessing some sort of Anchormate (or similar device). I think the rectangular pattern of four holes on the port side were from...

Looking good Pweisbrod !

Great White, First let me say how sorry I was to read about your father. My wife lost her dad at 66 in the same manner. My condolensces to you and your family. You have a fantastic build going on here. This is the first I ran across the thread, and really admire your work. A little jealous about...

Oh, I know, the hole for the livewell pump. I have the same issue. I'm just going to seal it, and put the pump back in. Maybe even put a cork in the intake. There should be a check valve in the pump, so no worries. Ya know, I think all the 79 Mr Pike's were designed to use as a tiller as well as...

TH Marine has a lot of the fittings you'll be looking for https://www.thmarine.com/. You want a TH-M DRAIN PLUG. Ed

Pweisbrod, You don't need to weld it shut. Just plug the hole. Something like the following will work fine, and leave the option of opening it back up at a later date. https://www.atafa.com/products/Thm-Drain-Plug-Ppdp-157925.html I used the exact same plug in both drains.

I'm thinking the fiberglass resin (a couple coats) would last longer. Looking good.

Way to go Pweisbrod!

Pweisbrod, are you sure the transom is bad? Maybe it's beyond salvaging now? What are you calling "pods"? I was out looking at mine tonight trying to figure out your problem. I'm running wire tomorrow, so I'll see what I can. Ed
