Hey guys,

Wanted to introduce myself. I'm from the Houston area and have been lurking here at tinboats since I picked up my boat last spring. I bought an '87 Grumman 1649 side console with a 30HP Johnson with the intention of using it for bay fishing and duck hunting for my sons and me.

So far, I've lengthened the trailer tongue, rebuilt the transom, filled 9 million corrosion pinholes and some not-so-pin holes in the hull, painted and camouflaged the hull, added navigation and anchor lights, bilge pump, and 12v auxiliary jacks, and changed the trailer bunks.

Next plans are to redo the fuel system, from the tank to the motor. Don't want to rely on some old lines, old primer bulb, etc. After that, just to run it a while before I decide what needs to happen next.

Thanks for valuable info I gained from tinboats already. I'm sure that this is just the beginning.

TX Mike

Welcome to Tinboats, Mike! Nice looking rig you have going there. Keep us posted with any mods you do to it (we all seem to to some extent! :D ).
