Perchjerker, I agree with you completely. At this point, it's about time and space for me... I will do as you suggest. I have one access point and that is under the drivers seat. I am already thinking about the project for a later date when I can. Thanks much!!

Thanks All!! Great ideas!! I think I'll go with the wire snake first. I have a fiberglass snake left over from previous work life that might just fit the bill... An did borrowed a Dryer Vent cleaning kit from a buddy. Hopefully that rod will be small enough diameter to go through the drain...

I have a 1989 Lowe 1610V. AS I have been working on it, I removed the driver seat post and plate to discover water standing in the hole and soaked foam. I removed the passenger seat post and plate which is over the center of the deck and there was a lot of water standing int there. I have the...

Yeah it is in great shape. No leaks either. He kept it in a garage and just doesn't use it anymore.. It belongs to my co-worker's father. Thanks for that info. I'm trying to find a spec sheet and Lowe has told me to contact a local dealer... :roll: I'll get it in a couple weeks.

It's been a while since I posted. Last project boat never really got off the ground. anyway, I am picking up a 1989 Lowe 1610V with a 40hp Evenrude on it. I have searched for spec on this boat and spent 1/2 hour on hold with Lowe to no avail.... Anyone have intel on this boat? Thanks!!

"This old boat was there when I wished my heart was free. She just sat there and gabbed and cried and whined in the summer heat. Oh Lord, I wish this old boad had an Ejection Seat!!!!" Next....

Thanks for all of the responses. =D> I do plan on water testing it on dry land to see how extensive the Rivet issue is. Then option 3 is sounding best. Dave I looked at your build (nice work) and a couple threads mentioned in it and have bookmarked them all. I sure wish this boat could...

Decisions are going to have to be made... I have been told the reason the guy I bought the boat from did the epoxy coat job was because of approx. 35 leaking rivets.... :shock: Once the hull is completely cleaned up, should I: Re-buck the rivets and Steel Flex the hull Weld all the rivets...

F4F, I appears to be several layers of different resins.... #-o I was able to get back at it a bit yesterday.... Wasn't sure if I was gonna get hailed on like other parts of DFW.... I got to work and soon after, my wonderful wife wandered out to the back yard with a Corona and asked if she...

Well, My thought of a winter project of stripping all the epoxy resin off the hull of my Jonboat has been moved up a bit... Bought this boat last fall and have been working SLOWLY on cleaning it up to float it to see what else I will do. See this post...

I was actually kidding abou tthe box wine... but I am partial to $2 Chuck Merlot......

If they're big enough, (we call them cutters) filet them for two pieces and then the head works good as well. If they are smaller (we call them hookers), up through the nose out the top of the head. Really big ones, filet them and cut into manageable pieces. For drifting, filet a hooker from...

What if your wine comes in a box??? :shock: :shock: No really... Do the synthetic (plastic :sick:) corks work as well as real corks?

+ 1!!!! Unless you can find fresh shad. Small one on the hook, or big ones cut up. Can't be beat out here in DFW!!!

That baby was 57lbs and it took about 15 minutes to get in the boat. It was the 2nd largest fish ever caught on my buddy's boat and he has guided for about 10 years. As soon as that fish did a tail slap on the water, by buddy said, "oh Crap!! Help her while I get the net ready!!" 1/2 hour...
