    1976 Duracraft

    Got the boat broke in this weekend. Lots of first all around. 1st fish on the boat was the biggest flathead of the weekend a 30#. My buddies son was with us, it was the first fish he'd caught running lines with his dad. My boy was along that evening, his first time running lines with me, and...

    1976 Duracraft

    Thanks. All in all it worked out pretty well. I'm plenty happy with it. Won't be long and it'll be time to find out if it'll catch fish! Hooked up the big boat for today. Got the wife and the 2 year old riding along later. Figured with the forecast calling for some 20ish mph winds it might...

    1976 Duracraft

    So far I really like the little Suzuki. Starts easy, runs quiet, sips gas. We don't see many older ones around here either. Tons of the newer 4 strokes though.

    1976 Duracraft

    The model boat is a Duracraft 1720...which I've seen another one on here. Seems like good bones for starting point. The motor is a 85 Suzuki 30 HP. Part of the "good deal" on this was I was on my way to look at this thing and the guy calls me saying I went out to start it up and I put it in...

    1976 Duracraft

    The first boat that I owned, was a 87 Tracker TX17. Great boat, loved the way it was setup. Side console, livewell, nice front and rear decks for fishing. I bought that boat in 99, I think, and sold it 12 years later. Growing family, small kids, wasn't doing as much fishing etc. Bought a big...

    Landau 1470

    I'll be interested to hear how the deck restore stuff does, going on and staying on the aluminum. Seem like a simple solution to a common problem.

    Landau 1470

    Nice, simple setup. Looks good. Did you use that Rustoleum Deck Restore paint on the aluminum on the bench? Did it stick good, seem to be holding up well? I see that stuff in the store and think, that'd be a nice easy way to cover a boat floor...and I've got a boat I'm getting ready to put...

    Trottle jams/stuck in neutral?

    Motor is a 90hp 1992 Evinrude. I haven't had the boat long, but had been out a handful of times just riding and didn't notice this problem. Over the weekend, went on a fishing trip and we tie jugs to trees catfishing. Well there's alot of forward/reverse forward/reverse pulling up to trees...

    new guy--new boat to show off

    New guy here. Found this site a few weeks ago, great site, full of information. I visit pretty much every day now. Anyways, I wanted to show off my "new to me ride." It's a 92 Sea Nymph, fish and ski with a 90HP Evinrude...runs great. It's nothing too special, it's dinged and scratched...
