Thanks. Yea, I almost hate to cover up the natural wood grain look......but I just got some marine vinyl flooring so it will all be covered soon. Hopefully my boat budget didn't just turn into my vehicle repair budget. On my way home tonight my 2003 ford explorer made a nasty bang sound, almost...

I used interior grade plywood and put two coats of spar urethane on everything. This really seals the wood and will last for years. I'm going to finish with a coat of outdoor carpet adhesive and some marine vinyl flooring. Good luck with your build. My build...

Nice looking hull...............great lines. Good luck on your build. I'm in the middle of my build also without a huge budget. I've found some good deals on eBay for a few things. Framed with wood instead of aluminum. Here's alink if you'd like to see what I've dome so far...

Hey all, I received my Nautolex flooring vinyl yesterday. Really anxious to get started covering some panels. I've been thinking about the placement of the switch panel. My original plan was to install it on the bow as seen in this picture..... But now I'm second guessing this idea. I'm...

Looks great. Gotta love them zip ties. I like that step too. Could you post a few more pictures of the step? Thanks.

Looks good. I need a side box like that too.....great idea. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm going out tomorrow to try my luck with finding a sweet bass like the one you have in your avatar photo. Getting late in the season here in Virginia, but water is not too cold yet. Dying to try out my new casting deck...

Thanks. Yes, I really like the size and the stability. I grew up in narrow jon boats, and loved it, but this boat is so much more stable, and roomy. It seems so big when it's out of the water, but on the water it's great. I bought some Nautolex marine vinyl flooring from a Marina on ebay. Been...

I'm with LonLb. Just the basics.......turkey,dressing, gravy, and both potatoes. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Lol I guess it may be race ready if it is stuck on full throttle.......

Wow. Very cool!

Nice. my favorite freshwater fish. Enjoy!

Thanks jasper. I see in your signature you have 3 different motors. Do you run all these (obviously not at the same time)? :) Next year I hope to upgrade my 6hp and get up to a 25hp. I bet your's really moves with a 30hp.

Hey all, Today I finished the wiring for the trolling motor. I added a Big Foot power switch and a plug/socket so I can just plug in and go. The trolling motor was a transom mount and I took the head and spun it around to make a bow mount. I constructed the mount on the boat using red oak for...

Alright now we are getting caught up to where I am at in my mod. Today I bolted down the bow deck to the gunnel. The only holes I've drilled in the boat so far. I cut out the front panel for my trolling motor plug, a 12v power receptacle, and a switch plate to run the electrical. Attached the...

I've always wanted a casting deck, but never had one.........till now. I took a lot of ideas on how to frame the front from everyone's mods. Being a carpenter more than a metal worker, I decided to do the framing with wood. I went with 2x4 92" studs at Home depot, which are much lighter than...

Hello all, After a many years absence from fishing I caught the bug again this spring and decided to get a tinboat. After searching for a couple months for the right boat (at the right price), I purchased a 2007 Alumacraft V16 modified v hull with a 2008 Yamaha 6hp four stroke for $2400. The...

Me too!

Welcome Aaron and Phil. I'm relativity new here also. I've started my mod and have taking lots of pictures....I just need to get post started and load it up. I heard a quote the other day that sums this site up..... if you share your ideas with other people your ideas will only get better.
