Picked this 1436 up last week. Enduro trolling motor and 15 hp Johnson. Getting wheel bearings replaced and lights sorted out and she'll be ready to use. Will do modifications etc. such as a casting deck over the winter.
I never did post a picture of my new boat(to me) as of 6 months ago. These are the pictures picking it up in Colorado. My wife's cousin bought the boat new. Sold it to a friend and then I bought it a few months ago. It is an old boat but I think the boat will work up in Canada and down in the Gulf off Texas where I live in saltwater. I am retired and acquired a taste for Walleye fishing. I have been renting boats for years in Canada and Minnesota. I think it is time to bring my own boat.
I've got a couple boats but I'll start off with my newest.
2016 Alumacraft 1436. I've had it about a month and have already done a few mods. 2016 Mercury 5HP 4stroker.
The "kids" (22-29) decided I needed a boat for Father's Day/ Picked up the AlumaCraft 1236 today! Set the battery a bit forward, wired it up temporarily until we can take it out a few times. I mounted the motor in the centre of the transom but it's not very comfortable - more growing pains I guess! Yes, I stole a cushion from the deck chair since it was pretty hot!
So I bought a tracker 1542 new .then a buddy ask me if I wanted to buy his G3 1652 .so now Iam boat poor. Here's few pictures. The 1542 is going to be a duck hunting boat. It will hopefully have a 20 hp mud motor. Also some pics of the G3 setting it up for fishing mainly crappie. So far I have lowrance elite 7 hdi,driftmaster spider rig holders, custom double seat
Her is mine. Finally done. Bought as a blank canvas with a 9.9 tiller motor.
Took everything off her and started over. Even got a different trailer for it. Original trailer was a flat boat trailer that was WAY too tall for a modified vee.
Only thing that is original at this point is the stern light and hull. Everything else is new.
Do you think you could post a picture of your Coast Guard Regulations sticker?
I have the same boat and I want to repower my boat but I'm not sure about the added weight. The Coast Guard sticker on my boat is faded and unreadable haha.
Hi I'm a new member just picked up my 1956 Lone Star Malibu which I will restore to its full original condition it has a original trailer and a strong running 33 hp seahorse Johnson outboard thought maybe someone here has done this so I can seek advice.
