1648CC MOD

We bought this boat a few months ago and it was in really rough shape. It's a commercial grade all weld that was setup for a tiller steered motor. It came with a 40hp Johnson tiller. We fish a lot in bayous and shallow water, so I made it into a mini bay boat. The only reason I bought this boat was because of all the ideas I had from this site. Still a work in progress. We only have about 3,000 into it so far. Prolly gonna throw some paint on it and clean up the trailer a little bit then it will be good. Here are some pics.

Man that would be a sick little flats boat! Bet that suckers moves!

Thank's Guys. That 70 pushes it around 45mph, which is insane for this litthe rig. I took it out last week and it fished really good. I can run in about 6 inches of water, only thing is I made a wrong turn and ended up in a dead end canal in only 6 inches of water, not good. I grabbed a big ole bamboo pole from the bank and pushed my way out. Needless to say I have invested in a push pole.

Looks real good, go get them reds. Who makes that hull?

 

[whiteboots16]

I'm not sure man. Someone told me it's a Tim's custom. It has a plate on the back that says it's a commercial grade aluminum hull.

I did a little checking and found that Tim’s Marine is in Violet LA. They do make custom built Jon boats. They also sell G3, Triton, Glacier Bay etc. Give AJ a call and give him your HIN number and he call tell you everything about your boat.
