    Moosifer's 12ft Mod-V Project

    You maybe still :LOL2:. It's my Father's car, IIRC it's the first PRHT in Ontario!! Definitely a blast to drive, especially in the snow :twisted:

    Moosifer's 12ft Mod-V Project

    Ok, now that I'm caught up, now for today's update: It rained overnight, so I had to vacuum the boat out, I tipped the bow up and found I had water coming out of the drain holes at the back of the strakes and the keel. I was expecting water to come out of the keel but not the strakes. I...

    Moosifer's 12ft Mod-V Project

    So after doing the first leak test, I noticed a previous owner had run a bead of sealant in the keel from the bow down to the first bench. I picked at it and it came up fairly easily so I pulled it all off. After removing the sealant I noticed there was some sort of hard caulking? type material...

    Moosifer's 12ft Mod-V Project

    I started working on this project on Saturday but didn't get a chance to post so I'm playing catch up. I got the grime cleaned off hull, flipped it over, and removed the rotted transom wood and subsequently found a small crack on the top of the transom which I welded with aluminum...

    Moosifer's 12ft Mod-V Project

    Hey Guys, finally got started working on my first aluminum boat over this weekend. There was no identification plate when I bought it so I'm not really sure what make it is. Best I can determine is it's a Sterling, but I could only find a few pictures of boats that look very similar with...

    Sealing transom to hull

    You can find Zinc Chromate Primer (Spray Can) in the Automotive paint section of any Canadian Tire/PartSource store. Same probably goes for HD/Lowes or any other auto parts store. I have yet to see it sold by the quart/gallon but really haven't looked YET!!

    Gathering parts, about to start my project.

    I don't have much experience with waterproofing treatments. From what I've gathered epoxy resin is the best method, but is costly. Two years ago I made a replacement floor for my old inflatable and researched a lot at that time. I decided to just prime and paint as I knew the floor would be...

    Gathering parts, about to start my project.

    I'm currently planning a very similar project for my 12' V-hull. Your plans sound very similar to mine including its execution. First off, from my research on here, as long as you apply adequate waterproofing, you should be fine with exterior grade ply instead of marine grade which is...

    Lowrance 4x hdi help

    The Elite 4 has a GPS/Chartplotter, the Elite 4x does not. I got a 4x around Christmas and look forward to getting some use out of it. I couldn't justify the added cost of the 4 just for GPS. I'll be using my phone as a chartplotter. You've got a great unit especially considering the price...

    Newbie with first boat - 12ft V-Hull

    Thanks, I've have spent a long time reading different builds, so many different ideas. My plan is to keep it relatively simple, mostly ideas for storage/organization and for easy transport. I'll be hauling it on a double wide snowmobile trailer which will not be submerged so I'm thinking...

    Newbie with first boat - 12ft V-Hull

    Hey guys, I finally picked up my first boat in December for $350 CAD, it's a 12' v-hull. First off, I'm hoping you guys can help me identify it as I have not found any markings or numbers on it. I've tried using google images to search the more common manufactures but haven't found anything...
