Here is my 2014 Alumacraft 1540 & 2014 Suzuki DF20

I have already floored all top surfaces with sealed plywood and marine carpet, added Wise 33in seat rails and seats, and Alumacraft factory TM up front.

Next up includes a Minn Kota Powerdrive 45 V2, and side imaging sonar / chart plotter (Havent nailed down which model yet)

I am only 5 hours into the 10 hour break in period on the outboard, but this setup will hit 21 mph fully loaded to max recommend weight. Approx 25 mph with only me in it.

About to pick this little Jon boat up, 14 ft.
Think 900 bucks is a good price for it? 45 lb trolling motor, almost new trailer 3 fishing poles and a life vest, should I pull the trigger on it?

Zum » August 2nd, 2014, 2:48 pm[/url]"]Nice boat, how's your winch setup working for you?


Thanks. The winch seems to work ok, but I am still trying different positions on it. I haven't decided what really works best yet.

Feel free to throw any ideas out there, this is my first boat trailer so its all new to me. I have always hauled my 12ft in the back of my pickup.
 
I've had for a few years, but finally getting around to old motor and fixing a few things. This is the before pic.

This is my 1432 jon I bought 2 years ago, my first boat. 857703_575977799082077_1973205450_o.jpg I put a bow mount trolling motor on it that I really like and also put in the floor mats.boat.pngIMG_0002.JPG I also have a 1950's evinrude I run on the back or a 55 lb thrust trolling motor. IMG_0051.jpgI've learned a lot while owning this boat. Looking to sell it this spring and buy a 16' with a side console.
 
1982 Bayrunner, 15'-6", by Westcoaster. Mariner, 1982, 30 HP for power. Purchased in 1985 it sat from 1992 to 2008, when I retired and began bringing it back to life. Replaced a bunch of rotted plywood, replaced factory (zinc plated?????) fasteners w/SS, new controls, new wiring, rebuilt trailer and a bunch of other cleanup/improvement stuff. Second photo shows bow deck that I added, 3" above the original bow seat level.

Probably could have bought a new boat for what I put into it (particularly if I value my labor :) ), but, I learned a lot and have found that it is the ideal boat for my current circumstances.
