looking into getting a 1652d. was just looking for some feedback on them. how they're holding up. i love the fact they have a 77" beam

I finally talked my wife into letting me get a new boat. i am looking at buying the motor first. I am looking at 40hp. maybe making the leap to a 50hp. i am wanting to buy the motor brand new then save for either a used hull or save up for a new one. but i figure th motor is the most important...

Build one preferably. Its a 1232. Will have light tackle and a deep cycle batteey and trolling motor. Maybe 250lbs

Dont want to keep draggin my 12ft boat so i am looking at ideas for a dolly. Thanks in advance

Talked to a guy a while back with a 25. Said it was great on gas and barely used any oil. He loved it. He had a 1548 alweld mod v and ran 31mph with a fishing load.

My boat came with guide boards but I installed the posts just so I could see backing up. I love the guide boards and they take abuse better than the posts. I would use both. Next trailer im doing boards and posts again

And bring a change of underwear...

All my spinning reels have braid. Except for my ultralites. I have three 2500 series and one 4000. I use 20# and 10# braid. The braid casts way better than mono is very limp and great sensitivity. Ill never use mono on a spinning reel again. Just my opinion

Day 1 Day 2

I would try to run a brace from inside the transom to the back of the bench.

I would jump all over the alweld.for.that price

You'll be fine with the 40. But id definitely reinforce it if you're getting a setback plate. It increases stress onvthe transom

What's the price of the alweld?

Swap the coils and see if the other is firing

I have an 03 25hp tiller. My primer bulb will not stay tight and if i pump it a few times gas comes out of the prop. The motor was recently laid on its side. So im thinking something is stuck open. Any help is appreciated
