    30 lb vs 55 lb thrust

    I had a 12 foot kayak win a 30lb. thrust transom mount. I went fishing and had several hours before a storm came hit. I went up wind...so if I waited too late I could have a good tail wind to get back. Well...the storm came and the wind shifted directions. I got caught going against the wind in...

    wood or aluminum for deck frame?

    Aluminum! I had to use wood on a certain part of my rebuild....just a couple months later and I already have a piece warping. If you use wood...you have to consider every hole you drill will possibly give water a way in. If you use aluminum...no worries all the way around!

    Wiring for Fish Finder Battery

    Well....there goes that idea! Thank you for the heads up....I didn't even think of it being too high! I looked it up and the max recommended charge is 2.5amps....my on-board charger is 4amps per bank.

    Fellas I need some trolling motor advice

    I have the same model as GarryB...I love it! I got the co-pilot...I don't care to ever go back to the pedal. I have a 1648...it's not crazy stable so the foot pedal did throw me off balance a couple times. I really like to be able to walk around the boat and still control the TM.

    Wiring for Fish Finder Battery

    I decided to use a separate battery for my fish finder. I will be keeping it up front near my trolling motor battery. I have a dual bank charger up front and I only have one battery connected to it. I would like to connect the battery to my FF and the on board charger that's already installed...

    1980 Bass Tracker lll Rebuild

    Thanks! I used .125 on the casting deck and .090 for the flooring. I used 1 1/4" X 1/8 for the framing. I don't have any close up pics of the joints...but I just used 3/16" rivets that were 1/2" long. I zoomed in on a pic so I hope it shows. Everything seems very solid so far. I was surprised by...

    1980 Bass Tracker lll Rebuild

    I brought the boat home in early September...I got to get it wet this past weekend for the first time. I had trouble with the motor...but I think it will be an easy fix. It was good to be back out on the water! Fishing was slow...but I was more concerned with the functionality of the boat.

    1980 Bass Tracker lll Rebuild

    I am ready to hit the water as soon as possible!!! I installed the new steering cable and steering system last night. The cable is a little long so I had to move the console up a few inches so it would fit. It was so close to the front deck it really didn't make much of a difference....I could...

    1980 Bass Tracker lll Rebuild

    Tuff-coat applied this weekend. It went well once I realized I could dilute it. I ended up using the tuff-coat roller. So far...I really like the way it turned out. I was able to have enough left to do any touch ups that I might need in the future.

    I have been fishing out of a kayak over the last year....I decided I wanted to cover more area and not have to worry about space. I thought I could not afford it...until I found this sight.
