This is the boat I had when I joined Tinboats. It's a 08 Alumacraft 2072AW,( ordered it in Aug. 07 and got it in 3 wks.) with a floor, side panels, and a loose console ( with the longest cables they had,16') to put where I needed it. Bear galvanized trailer w/tandems. Wanted to put a 90hp on it, but got a boat show special for a 115 Nissan (just introduced), for only $85 more, so why not. Now that I've had it for 4yrs., I'm glad I did it. Loaded with all gear, gas and 2 guys (530 lbs.), it weighs in about 2500lbs, and will run 42mph by the locator speed wheel. Used a bimini frame from a pontoon for a start on the winter enclosure, cut and fitted to hull, then took to canvas shop for the rest as well as a really nice road cover. I built the seat boxes and storage step to the front deck. We installed console ,seats, locator ,etc as far forward as the steering cable would allow. Alumacraft had a great idea for all wiring to the rear by putting a 4" drain tile thru the rear flotation pod. So easy to run cables and wiring thru without a tug of war. Got anti-fatigue mats (48" sq.) @ TSC and cut to fit. Got a roll of Scotch 4" rubber traction tape,( 50' on Ebay for $22 incl shipping), for the decks. We put 8 flush rod holder mounts in the gunnels , plus made a 6 rod spreader bar and holders for trolling and set rods. All rod holders are Cabelas superlites, the same holders used on My last 2 boats and they hold up great. In order to hold this big a "tub" in the current below the dams where We fish, I made my own version of the Richter style anchor, only it weighs in at 82#. That's why there's a home made arm on the bow with a warn winch to do the hard work. We use a Powerdrive V2, 55#, and it pulls this big tub around very well for casting and down stream trolling with 6 crankbaits on a spread..JPG"]0[/ATTACH]

I'm proud to say my son wanted "in" on the boat, and after buying a lot of the accessories and working on it , I put his name on the title too. Now it's "OUR BOAT" :!: 8)

Since I just bought my first boat and joined the site, here is mine. 1987 Sears 1432. Dont plan on doing much, maybe a good cleaning and a paint job. Mostly going to be used to take my son and I out fishing on the weekends, time is short as they grow up way to fast these days.

Hey CanoeJon.....welcome to TinBoats. There are a lot of boats like yours on this site. When/if you intend to modify it....I'm certain you will have lots of help. :wink:

 

[CanoeJon]

Fish are bighting now mods will come in summer and winter. I have idea spured by the boats on here.

 

[Auzivision]

My first boat-project.

It's a 12 foot Sea King I picked up for $125 off CL. The hull appears to be in good shape, the wood seats are solid yet need new varnish, and there are a couple tiny cracks in the upper perimeter. The trolling motor it came with appears to work too.

Have tons of questions I’ll save for a different thread. For now, just a couple photos:

Should be a good start.

K so i figured i'd repost my boat since well it's not the same any more thanks to my addiction to this forum and to all the great information the member's have given me over the last few months!

Here's mine.."Clamenza" is a 2001 Voyager 18' wide/mod-V Jon ..w/Evinrude 4-stroke 40hp.. This originally belonged to my late best buddy..and we set it up primarily to fish for cats on our trips to Santee-Coooper, and for his Fla. gigging trips.. I acquired it when his health failed...Custom additions include: Diamond plate reinforced bow platform and stern seat tank/deck.. The bow rail was added to aide in gigging, facilitate mounting rodholders/lights, etc.. and to keep the fats guys from falling in.. the rail and gunwales are fitted with lots of Driftmaster rod holder bases welded at intervals.. My buddy also had a custom inclosure made that fits over the bowrail to form a camping shell, along with sleeping cushions for the platform... Bow mt. MinnKota w/ QD mount, and triple batteries to provide plenty of juice.. I built a blind frame using chain-link fence hardware that allows me to cover the whole rig in grass mats in a few minutes for duck hunting, making it a very versatile rig..

Here he sits ready for the Hudson river Striper run.. next to his big brother "Fluka Brasi".. which is my saltwater henchman..

Very nice. A man with multiple boats. You're speaking my language!

[BentoniaPhil]

I've been checking out the site for some time now, and just bought my first rig last week. It needs some work, but it'll fish as is through the summer until I get all my plans in order.

Looks like a good template to modify whenever you get ready. Welcome to Tinboats. This family just keeps getting bigger and better!

Well I added another watercraft to our family. 2011 Lowe Suncruiser SF214 with a pristine 1979 90hp Mercury on the back. I sold my glass bass boat last year and have been looking to get into a pontoon. I still have some rigging to do on it, trolling motor, depth finder/gps and some party lights!
