    Flooring question?

    I've just started putting my floor in as well and I'm using 7/16". In the rough fit it seems to hold up fine and I don't even have the foam between the ribs yet. I don't know how far apart your ribs are, I haven't measured mine either, but in a 58" run I have 5 ribs.

    trolling motor prop

    On my buddy's TM, mine also, the pin fits in a groove on the back of the prop and the prop is secured with a plastic wing nut. As far as only been for 36V motors I haven't seen anything and I did find one for my old MK 35W, which is a 12V. But like you said russ010 it might run your battery down...

    trolling motor prop

    Once you figure the size you need you should get a die-cast aluminum one. My buddy bought one after busting two props in one year, and it works great. He uses a shear pin just in case he catches a log the pin will break instead of the TM, and he carries extra pins with him. I found one to fit my...

    has anyone used osb for a deck

    I haven't used it myself, I haven't even put my deck i yet, but I used to work in a mill that covered plywood with veneer. We covered 3/4" OSB every so often and IMO that stuff is junk. It gets wet it crumbles, drop it or drop something on it it breaks, and it's just plain out heavy. I could...

    Preferance

    I've only been in a side console a couple of times and never been in a center console. But if I had to choose I'd proably go with the center console for the fishing room on both sides. My buddy that has the side console says he wish he would've gotten a center console instead. Just weigh your...

    How to brace transom

    My 1636 flat bottom has a metal brace from the floor to the transom, it was built with it, and the transom board was a 1" piece of plywood, but I have to replace it. I also have a '68 20 Hp Johnson, I haven't run it yet but my dad used to when he owned the boat, and the transom never had any...

    1636 '87 Rhyan Craft

    Alright, I haven't done much of anything so far. Weather won't permit and neither will the budget right now. I have been making my plans and coming up with ideas. But I would like to get some advice on where to put my battery and fuel tank. When my Pop had the boat he would put the battery in...

    beggining to mod my 12 foot ouachita

    I knew a guy who painted his Jon with tractor paint. It's a hard enamel and is also flexible. I haven't talk to him much, since I used to work with him, to see how it was holding up. I will try and get a hold of him to see how it's going and let you know.

    What size deck?

    I was thinking the same thing about the passenger Cheeseball. I was also thinking that I could put my tackle box in the hole and won't have to worry about opening a hatch when I need something or looking for it, just lean over and pick up the whole box. Thanks for the compliment on my Jeep Andy...

    What size deck?

    I appreciate all the advice so far but I also can't decide on the size of my front deck. I'm not sure if I want to go from the little factory deck to the end of the bench or stop short of the bench to leave leg room like this:

    What size deck?

    Finally got a break in the rain and got out to get a pic of the boat so yall can give me advice on what to do with it. I got the boat off the saw horses, flipped it over, got a pic made, and it started to rain again. So I still don't get to paint it, sucks because now all I can do is sit around...

    What size deck?

    Yeah, I think it's supposed to stop this weekend but I've heard that before. It was real nice and pretty last week when I stripped it out and pressure washed it inside and out, but when I need nice weather I can't even buy it.

    What size deck?

    I'll post some pics once it stops raining, been raining for a week straight now, and I can get out to take a few. I agree with keeping the middle open for a lower level and plan on putting a floor only there. I was planning on keeping the deck at the top of the bench since I can't really go over...

    What size deck?

    I recently obtained a 1636 Rhyan Craft flatbottom Jon boat from my pop. I got a great deal, two fish findrs, '68 20hp Johnson, 17lb thrust Minn Kota 35w, trailer, seats and other junk cost me about $0.00. I'm redoig the floor and rebuilding the deck but I can't decide if I want a partial deck or...
