Hi Everyone,
My name is John. It's good to be here. Thanks, Jim, for running this site. I've checked it out before when I was looking for a boat a while back, but didn't register because I wasn't a boat owner....well not a tin boat owner...yet.

I'm 33 years old and live in Carpentersville, IL. close to the Fox river. I'm a smallmouth bass junkie and love to fish for almost anything that swims, but bass and crappie are my favorites. I belong to The Illinois Smallmouth Alliance, B.A.S.S., bassresource.com, and the River Smallies forum. My favorite time to fish is anytime! Did I mention that I like bass?

This friday I'm trading my canoe for an old 1960's 16' V-hull that is already stripped down and ready for a mod...
So I'll be here and posting pics of my progress (hopefully...it's a craigslist find) and asking lots of questions.

Thanks for having me and thanks for being here!
I'll get some pics of the boat up soon.

Hi! My name is Luke,I have a 16' Duracraft, I stumbled on the site and after reading a few posts I'm really glad I did. It seems many of you guys (like myself) Like to take something basic and modify it to your wants and needs or just "custumiz" it! I look forward to reading and learning tips and tricks.

Hello, I just came into ownership of a tracker topper 14 with 9.9 Nissan and no trailer. My plan is to get a trailer, convert this boat into a bass rig and hit all of these electric only or 10 hp or less reservoirs here in VA and catch some bass. I don't know anything about building a boat, but I intend to learn here. Saw a guy on youtube- mark moore who converted a boat just like mine into a res boat. Liked it! Thanks for the website.

Welcome flyboy!

You can have almost as much fun converting your boat as using it.
