Alright guys. I've been rolling this idea through my mind for a bit and just can't make a decision. Ever since I got my first boat, I knew that I wanted to keep working up until I got something that I would be happy with for a long time. If my calculations are correct, I may be in a position...

I have been led to understand that people save their old soft plastics, melt them down, and pour them into molds to make new lures. While I would love to get into this as a hobby, I don't need something else taking up more of my time and money. I'm saving my used up soft plastics, but would...

Here are a few things that I have learned about boat trailers over the years. 1. Never trust what the previous owner tells you! 2. Pull the hubs and check the bearings, races, and seals. Chances are, something will need to be replaced even if it is only the grease. 3. If the wheels and tires...

I'm in the market for a new trolling motor since my current one stopped working. I guess this just means that I can go ahead and get a bow mount. :mrgreen: I have a pretty strict budget of 500 and am looking for a bow mounted, foot controlled trolling motor. I don't have much experience with...

Well guys, I have come to the realization that it is about time to do a little more work on the boat. My first mod session involved a thorough going-over of the trailer and stripping and repainting the boat. I have used it several times now and have a good idea about what I want to do. I will...

Alright guys. I am putting this build here so I can kinda keep track of it and maybe contribute a little to this great forum. What I have is a cheap project of a craigslist boat. It is 14.5' long and 57" wide at the transom. There is no nameplate, HIN, or any other kind of identification on...

Alright guys and gals, I haven't been a very active member here. Mainly I just log on and browse through the threads, taking in new ideas, and checking out some awesome boat builds. Last year I got a job as an airboat driver on Lake Okeechobee spraying weeds. I can't describe how much fun...

Hey all, I thought I would drop by and introduce myself and my newest project. I'm a 27 year old Alabama native that has spent almost my entire life within a stones throw of one of the best bass lakes in the U.S. Over the past few years my passion for duck hunting and fishing has been...
