Hey TimRich.....

Welcome to TinBoats. Sounds like you have a good starter for a tin mod. However...the rules of this forum are such that you have to pay something for your tin. No freebees.....therefore, I'll PM you my address and you can send me $20. I'll then forward a receipt to you and you should be good to go. :roll:

Happy to have you on board!

Do you take personal checks? Maybe I'll have my 3rd cousin twice removed on my mothers uncles side from zimbabwe wire you a cashiers check and all you have to do is cash it and keep a grand and send him the rest...hahaha
:LOL2:

 

[Jakeo]

Hello all.......I am Jake from Ohio and found this Forum this evening as I was watching U-Tube and painting some baits. I have been a member of Michigan Sportsmen for years and have 2 aluminum fishing boats. At the present time I am waiting to have a spinal Morphine pump installed in me to help with my back. its a looooong story but am optimistic that I will be fishing this spring.
I have owned over 10 rowboats from Meyers to Sears and am willing to help anyone if I can about quality.
I was given a 1973 14' Mirrocraft about 8 years ago so I completly re- did the boat and was not thinking at all of taking pics but the old owner did not recognize it. Its a very deep-V and my son and I or wife and I have used it for perch on Erie and Pike in the U P of Michigan. I have never felt a floor on a open "rowboat" so strong and all I did was paint and repair 4-5 rivets. its a very seaworthy boat .
Last summer, my wife and I drove to the Detroit area to look at a boat on Craigs-list and found the boat to be a stolen boat. I knew the deal was to good to be true and assisted the Police on catching the theif. No I am not a cop but I have been around.
On our way home, thru a wealthy subdivision, we spotted a man just pulling out a boat that was the longest rowboat I have ever seen and it had a For Sale sign on it!!! We stopped and without much thought bought the 1979 19' Alumacraft. Its a model F-18. I am searching for other owners so please help me as I want to restore it to original.
It came with a 20hp Johnson and what a sweet running long boat and takes Eries waves VERY nice.
I am sorry that I babbled so long but this is my story and am open to any questions or comments.
Thank you and I look forward to becomming a part of this site.

[Goon]

Hello all, all my friends call me Goon (got it from playing football while in the 4th grade because my coach mispronounced my name 'Magoon')

I have looked over every single project boat on this forum to gain ideas for my small boat project I have planned and I have gotten ALOT of information from yinz (yinz = ya'll in Pittsburgh).

I just graduated from Penn State with a degree in IT and just started as a software developer last week! With my new found income I have decided to revive my old boat from high school that me and my buddies used on electric only lakes to allow me to go fish when they are not available.

I thank yinz upfront for any and all help given to me!

Good to have you here roadkill636. I'm betting that we fish some of the same waters. I especially like Mark Twain. Fish it many times a year. Maybe you can tell me more about that lake to help me out. :wink:
