Landau 1470F

Thanks Gillhunter. All in all, around 80 lbs came out of the boat. With just me and my 8 HP I hit 18.3 MPH, with the two year old on board it drops to 17 and with two adults I can only muster 7 or 8, but hey it scoots with just me . I'm excited about spring fishing this year, only a few more weeks and things may start picking up.

Just wondering how you fastened the front deck to the boat I'm getting ready to redo a Jon boat I just bought

Rude, the front low deck was fastened to the aluminum frame w/ SS screws. The fron bow deck is held down by the TM mount and two other bolts that go through a stringer under the bow. They're both solid. Good luck on your build.

Bigwave, thanks man, your boat looks awesome too. I really like the way you painted the decks.

How did you secure the aluminum angle to the ribs in the boat?

Well, guess it's time to post the latest update to the boat. I missed the carpet, all work was completed in early 2014. Just a few pics of the boat as it sits now. Found a new (to me) boat last week and have put the Swampbuster up on CL, I'm going to really miss this boat

The Swampbuster looks really good!!!!!! How long are you going to keep us in suspense about the new boat? What did you get?
