Lookin good man! Keep pushin.

Little more wood added. Then I did up a switch box along with getting some wiring done. I still need a couple of hinges for back storage lids, may have to modify something to get the hinge I want. Also, I love the LED Courtesy lights I put in. I have them switched for front...

Gave 5 bills for the boat, sold the motor for $750. Materials so far have probably been around $170 total. I cannot find two hinges I need that are similar to the ones that were originally on the boat. (8 hours of google searching) I had most of the plywood in stock as scrap from jobs I've...

The boat is an '80, Travler Sea Nymph. I am fairly sure it was one of the possible prototypes for the Bass Tracker and they didn't get the bid. Could have been that it was "too much boat" in my opinion. This boat was very well made. She is 16'4" from top of transom to tip of bow. The rear...

24" deep, then gets less within 5' of the bow.

Preach, to be honest, this is basically a temporary forward decking. I'm trying to slam this thing together for the upcoming season and make the camping trip that I am supposed to go on next Friday. I will be looking for another material for final deck. It's all removable. I don't plan on...

Long day today. I was able to install the front deck with it's hinges, and install the side storage panels. I have a bit more of sheet metal work, some chases to build, and then I should be ready for some carpet.

I did remove the console in my rebuild, "Rebirth of the Tin". I have the steering wheel assembly along with the steering cable. I never said a thing about giving it away. It's not within the pack rat in me to let something go I might need in the future. I have been known to sell things...

Preach, I'm going to go with some SS tapered wood screws for my rig. I can't get to mine either. This is why I have doubled up the plywood in the areas of the seat pedestals. I will be able to bolt the forward seat base, but, the four bases I am going to mount to the floor deck, will just...

Control box w ignition switch, bout $100. Teleflex cable, new, $100+ Cables for throttle and gears $75? Parts for motor to convert to remote and steering wheel...Dunno Keeping the Tiller and enjoying the extra space..... Literally, Priceless :D

What he said! Basically, the second pic is a premade bilge with recirculator pipe attached.

No one pointed out that the boat with pedestals pictured in an early reply were mounted to the floor, not the benches. I would not add pedestals to the benches as the center of gravity would be way high. I've seen a lot of nice mods on this board, but rarely see anyone warning about the...

Give it some time, I am also interested in the answer.

First off, I have over 35' of 3/4" Schedule 40 in the boat. The Mariner motor that came with it has been listed on Craigslist for the last 4 months with no serious inquirys other than one that was looking to lighten the weight of his 75hp. I have the motor listed for $775.00, it comes with the...

Went to Mizzou for Neices wedding yesterday. Been running some pipe in the boat for the bilge and areators. Everything is 3/4" schedule 40 pvc and reinforced 3/4" hose. I ran the rigid pvc everywhere I could so as not to have a hose close up on me where I couldn't reach it without tearing...

Started the Plumbing last night. After 3 trips to Home Depot and Lowes, I thought I had what I needed to get to the point of fastening the forward deck into position. I was able to run some 3/4" pvc, but found I was short certain things. I plan to PU what I need on my way home tonight and get...

You gonna need a whole bunch of Battleship Gray when that rig is complete. Looking great!

I have finally started back on the Rebirth. I am starting to push hard as I have a camping trip scheduled for the 14th of March. Here's the poop.... CrappieDentist was unable to blast the trailer for me at his work till sometime in the Summer. I picked the trailer back up and he let me...

I recognized it as a Pinto right away. The tell tale sign of that rear end was all I needed. Any plans to relocate the tank? The tailer is looking very professional! You've done a very good job.

https://www.go-fast.com/boat_speed_predictions.htm This might help. Your speed will depend on how much you, gear, motor, fuel. boat weigh. The Square Root of (Total Shaft Horsepower / Weight ) x Constant = Speed My guess is that the 6.5hp will push you close to about 4-5 mph max.
