we might get hurricane conditions from sandy. what should I do with my 14' tin boat, hook the trailer up to my truck so it doesn't blow away and hope for the best? there isn't room in the garage for it.

The Hackettstown fish hatchery here in NJ had their centennial celebration this weekend. Lots of cool stuff on display, but I thought this would be interesting to you fellow tin-boaters: NJ DFW's electrofishing boat. They use this to collect fish for research and broodstock collection...

decided on rustoleum enamel w/ hardener for ease of eventual touch ups, but am having trouble deciding on a color for my 14' semi-v... torn between dark hunter green and smoke gray. i am going to be hvlp spraying it. the bottom is steelflexed black and i am going to keep the gunwales bare...

so almost everyone puts fishing rod holders in after doing their boats up, but i can't find any examples of people making boxes to keep shotguns dry and secure? who uses their tins for waterfowling?

i just got an email from Amazon about amazonsupply.com... looks great to me so i figured i would share it with you guys continuous hinges, closed end aluminum rivets, aluminum stock, power cabling, etc. all ships for free if you've got amazon prime. the best thing i see here is that i can...

framing, steelflex, and paint i am using aluminum for the framing on my 14' boat, so flipping the boat over with the additional weight won't really be a big deal. i am leaning towards doing the framing first just in case I end up putting any rivets below the water line, I can seal over them...

man, when it rains it pours... after being on the lookout for a good deal on aluminum stock to do the framing for quite a while, i finally connected this week. got an answer to a craigslist wanted ad that i had posted from a guy about an hour away. the first time i drove out i didn't realize...

Been trying to stay in the trees as much as possible this year, but unfortunately still haven't had any shooter bucks come in. Of course, when I was out the other day with a friend of mine, he drops his personal best while I watch from 75 yards out... what can you do. I digress. On 10/23 I...

I had a few loose rivets on the floor of my 14' starcraft. When I was out on the water yesterday, I used a red crayon to circle the leaky ones (works while wet). Today, I pulled the boat off of the trailer and laid it on the driveway. Then, I put an old brake rotor under the boat and lined it...

Got a boat from a farmer, don't know much about it. Looking to find out at least the decade of production, but model, capacity, etc. would be nice too. It looks a lot like Dyin2Fish's 1951 14' starcraft, but there are a few differences. -Stern handles are cast and part of transom end caps...

i am building some new knee braces. the are attached to the transom with existing through bolts, but i am wondering what fastener i should use on the knee to boat floor attachment. i have some blind aluminum rivets, good choice?

Hi there. I recently bought this jon boat. The info plate says that it's a Sears model 61114 and the serial number starts with MA04J, but I cannot find any information on a Sears of that model that is a flat bottom jon. It has fully welded seams. 13'10" long, 32" wide at the bottom, 48" wide...
