i used regular exterior plywood and a spray can of thompsons water seal 5 bucks at wal mart.lol.

not sure about this but i had the idea and am seriously thinking of using the garage floor coating made by rustoleum and available at lowes.it is a 2 part epoxy and is very durable.i work at a public park and we did a restroom floor with this stuff 2 years ago and the only place it came up was a...

been busy today working on the trailer, i was gunna post about the trailer over on the trailer section but decided to keep it all on one post. i decided to make my own extension instead of ordering the kit, the kit would have been to short after i checked on the dimensions of it. heres what i...

not much progress lately not much time with job and all.i did get the wood for the transom sealed with thompsons yesterday and will hopefully get it installed today have to go to lowes and pick up the bolts.i plan on patching a few screw and bolt holes and getting the trailor together that i...

nice looking project.glad to see some one close to me on here i am in tn also not far from you.i live in bristol mostly fish south holston but some times boone lake.this is a great site you will find lots of info here.

that is one awsome boat.have fun with it man. :lol:

i think the proper wood to use is untreated ply wood on both sides.some boats have a thinner piece 1/2" or so on the outside that goes almost or all the way to the bottom to protect the aluminum and add strength and the one on the inside is usualy thicker 3/4" and up this one is for stregnth and...

thanks that is exactly what i plan to do as soon as i finish some repair work i know has to be done.all in all i am happy with the little boat just have to fix some of the po,s mod ideas they had about 4 or 5 pieces of 2x6 on the transom all bolted together.first thing i did was removal of...

after much debate on whether to work on the 12 ft sears game fisher which only has a 3o inch bottom that i was not satisfied with i deicded to look around for something else and came across this Tin Beauty today , it is a 1952 Vio Holda and has a 40 inch bottom. i think this will be better to...

forgot to mention no trans plate :oops: thanks

that is exactly what i had in mind.but i figure not having a welder handy it might be easier with the kit that bolts on.so i will probably go that route.it is basicly the same design as you did but bolts on.i like the mods you did on the boat too.nice work all around.Thanks Dan.

thanks for the reply.i allready have the trailor and i think it will work fine i only live about 15 miles from both lakes i fish and wanted sumthin to haul the boat on so i didnt have to disassemble the boat to get it in the back of the truck since i fish by myself most of the time or with my 11...

any one ever used one of the 40 x 48 trailor kits from harbor freight.i got one with intensions of extending it to fit my 12/32.once i looked through the instuctions i found they have a kit with extension, braces,and bunks to convert the trailor and haul up to a 12' boat.this kit is an aditional...

would a 9.9 4 stroke be too much on a sears gamefisher 12/32?i think it might be too heavy.not sure though thats why im asking.thanks Dan

looks great i have the same boat as you.i plan on modding almost like you did.
