    Herloom 14' Arkansas Traveler Mod

    Nice work! I notice you plan to have your seat on the port side, while most setups have the driver's seat on the starboard side. I bought a new (to me) 1998 14ft princecraft yesterday and considering moving the seat from starboard to port like you plan on doing, because of the tiller handle...

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    The main caddy is a windshield washer fluid caddy meant for keeping your stored gallon jugs from tipping in your trunk. The clips on the side meant to hold the transducer bracket are dollar store over the door plastic hangers, but cutting off the over the door part, and painting black to match...

    Cooler livewell

    Best idea for a livewell ever. When I build my next one, this is what I will do.

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    inspired by some ideas on this site, I found this $10 organizer that is meant to be stuck into your car's cupholder and it gives you a bit more storage space... it also still allows you to use as a cup holder. So using a scrap piece of plastic cutting board I had laying around from another...

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    On my Bass Boat, I made a rod holder out of 4" PVC pipe inspired by some ideas I saw on this forum, but with a slight improvement on the design which keeps the rod from slipping out, and ads strength. Most I have seen on here have an 'open' section to the pipe, but it is really not needed, so I...

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    I wanted to use the same sonar/GPS unit on my bass boat, so I purchased a new powercord/transducer, and unit mount. This way I can unclip from my bass boat, and clip onto my jon quickly and easily and have all my saved waypoints, etc. on both boats.I used a car caddy to keep a small lawn tractor...

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    I'm from New Brunswick, Canada. I used desk wire grommets , and hole-saw drilled on an angle to create rod holders that are 'weightless' and do not clutter. Because the bench seats are filled with styrofoam, I used a clear coat to 'seal' the foam so that water will not penetrate it... yes...

    Grumman Mod - my first aluminum

    Hi, all, I spent hours on the site and I used a lot of my favourite mod ideas to modify my first aluminum boat. I also used some of the ideas on my fiberglass bass boat. my 10ft grumman is a mid-1980's jon. I have paired it with a 1976 4hp evinrude with built-in gas tank and 38lbs thrust...

    Cooler livewell

    frozen water bottle works great to keep the water cool and fish healthy. If you will be changing the water frequently, that will work to bring fresh oxygenated water to the fish. But your 'aerator' re-circulating pump is not needed. Just like a fan inside a sealed room would not give you anymore...

    Cooler livewell

    I see this all the time but it is not correct. 'Aerate' with this setup all you want, but you cannot add more oxygen to the water then there already is in the cooler. Once the oxygen in the cooler is used up by the fish, it will suffocate. Analogy: put yourself in an airtight box, you will use...

    pressure treated or not?

    Hi, I am new but I have spent quite a bit of time scanning the site for ideas on my first aluminum boat I bought recently. The modifications have already begun and I have been documenting the process so that I can share on here once it's complete. I have read a lot of comments about not using...
