On the water: Perhaps a fine mesh wire grate over the current grate.

I've used vaseline on the rubber on my compound bows over the years and have never had any issue with a reaction or anything. I use it to keep the rubber conditioned and from dry rotting. I'd also make sure it isn't leaking from the outside of the assembly rather than the rubber seal. If that's...

23..oh...only 12ft v boats that i bought to duck hunt from

so most boat makers will make a 12 foot model that small?

Hey all, I don't have pics of the boat, but the PO painted it and painted over any marks on it identifying it. I was just wondering if anyone has seen a boat like this before, it's 12 ft long, 36" beam, and has a transom height of 15 inches. I'm just wondering because I've never seen a boat...

I like this a lot actually. I pretty much wanted to do this exact same thing with my 12ft gamefisher, however I think i'm going in a slightly different direction for duck hunting from it. Overall great though.

I've read through this probably 10x. I seriously love it. Sorry to revive an old thread, but this is awesome!

Totally took the carb apart today, replaced the gasket/oring thing a majig on the high speed jet (?) as it was totally shot and I hadn't noticed it until now. Also pulled out the bolt and screw that are in the fixed jet and cleaned that out well. All in all, it runs like a top again...

i have a 64 lightwin on my duck boat! never checked the speed loaded with guns and decoys, but with my girlfriend and myself (around 320lbs) a full cooler with 18 beers, 5 gal minnow bucket, long shaft 55lb troller and group 29 battery (among poles and tackle) I push 7mph.

CajunCooke!!! I have a question for you. I finally have time to watch the videos you posted and in video 5 you're discussing the small pin that the float pushes upwards when the carb fills with fuel. I noticed that you talk about a tinier pin that holds that small little needle onto the float...

Hey all, I have a 64 evinrude 3hp lightwin that I just bought a few months back. Normally I fish electric only so today I took it out for the second time. First day I used it she ran like a dream, didn't stall at all, and trolled down to a small putter while I trolled all day for crappie. I...

I have a 12ft boat that is similar and I would put a deck like this on it in a heart beat. Just make sure the seat swivels because you can't walk to the sides of the seat. You'd have to sit on it, spin around, then spin around to get off of it. I stand on my middle seat which is pretty close...

laying the hammer down with the 19!

I have a buddy that has one I could get a pic of actually. I believe it's 490 people and 620 persons motor and gear. 15hp limit.

love it, keep itup.
