    Old Meyers transom repair questions

    I’m worried that would affect how the splash well and floor corner braces would attach as I don’t want to remove and relocate either piece

    Old Meyers transom repair questions

    I could probably get some sort of jack plate to bolt to the transom that would accommodate all of my motors. I have a 25HP 18HP and 3HP Evinrudes, and a 16HP Oliver I believe it to be original on the outside, at least in design, due to the top cap, and other pictures I have seen online of the...

    Old Meyers transom repair questions

    I can’t remove the wood on the outside of the transom, as it is inside the top cap and the corner gusset. I don’t put the 3 hp on the kicker mount as it’s hard to get to from the rear seat. The trolling motor I put on that mount has a telescoping handle making it easier to use. Here are some...

Guess i need a bigger boat, just wish i could afford...

    After pulling out the mouse nest and foam I am sure it's not original judging by the shoe print on one piece of foam

    Foam in bow and mod questions

    So I've got a 15ft Meyers, old enough to not have a data plate, 2 piece hull joined in bottom center and cast aluminum corner gussets. Used to be console steer but controls were taken out and converted to tiller well before I owned it. I have owned since 2012 and am finally tired of vacuuming...

    Boat configuration advice needed

    I was also curious if i might be able to somehow convert the middle bench seat into storage? i am not sure if it has foam in it or not, i know theres foam up front but not sure on the other two bench seats, but i was thinking if i could cut a trap door in the top of the seat and hinge it, i...

    I have an older Meyers aluminum 15ft boat, tiller steer, 58" beam width. I currently have an Evinrude 18hp FastTwin elec start on it. I just purchased a MinnKota EnduraMaxx 55 trolling motor. I currently run the Lowrance Elite 4 fishfinder, and motor starter with a lawn and garden battery, and...

    where to mount trolling motor?

    running by myself would be the problem, i also wana use this for pulling into the dock when i am by myself, as running my 18hp from rear seat and trying to maneuver and fight wind and grab the dock gets tricky, so i figure it would be more controllable running a trolling motor from the back so...

    where to mount trolling motor?

    i just found those mounts that sit down in the handles on the boat, has anyone used these? and how do they work? i could put it in the handle off the rear of the boat and that would work perfectly for me i think

    where to mount trolling motor?

    i'm trying to figure out a good place to mount a trolling motor, i do not yet have one so i am not restricted by mount type yet. instead of re-posting the pics of my boat i will just post a link to a previous thread with the pictures. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26218 i have...
