Thanks, there are a ton of memories from that ol boat. 5 generations have caught fish out of her.

It's been almost a year since I've been around... Hit a dry spell with boats.

Here is the new whip, 2002 boat,motor, trailer. 25 hp. Good for low 20's mph.

My 96 Lund 16 Laker. I have had this boat for over 10 years and I love it. It had developed quite a few leaks from the pounding I have given it fishing around Martha's Vineyard and I was thinking that its days were numbered. I found this site and decided to attempt a fix. I replaced leaky rivets with SS nuts, bolts and 5200. Then 2 coats of Gluvit on the inside. No leaks! I have decided to do resto on the boat for next season, Gluvit paint on outside, reconfigure inside(center console, rod storage, ect.).

Well, I don't have a tin boat yet, but that's why I joined up, to get more info on the various makes and models to run in shallow conditions. I recenlty sold my 17' Wahoo center console and I'm looking for an aluminum center console jet. But I do have a fun boat that is a flat bottom! I found out after buying the boat that it was featured in Hot Boat magazine back in 1991. It no longer has the supercharged engine but it still pumps out around 425 hp and I've had it up to 75 mph so far, not bad for a 16' skiff.

A few pics of my Bowfishing Pontoon boat, Designed and fabricated by myself. Its a 1466 pontoon fabricated from 16ga galv decked with 1/8" alum diamond plate, powered by a 15hp johnson tiller (for the time being), with a 55lb troller. I run 7- 150w Hps lights powered by a Yamaha 2000w inverter generator. I also run 2- 29 series batteries with a powermax 55amp converter because its not unusual to Bowfish all night during the Carp Spawn.

First time on the water! before the lights


lights


Success!


I set out to build a Short, yet wide boat that would draft shallow and be very stable with 2 people shooting off the front elevated platform. It works fantastic for trolling the shallows. However the shape of the hull being short and wide, the weight of all the bowfishing gear, makes it hard to get up onto a plane. I am in the market for a 35-45 hp tiller or a 750+cc jet ski motor. 8-10mph is way to slow for the large lakes in my area!
