    Jack Mods?

    They makes jacks with 2 wheels instead of 1. Our old 19ft grady had one and we could push it aroundin the yard.

    First OB

    That sounds like a good deal. I don't know much but I have rebuilt a few two stroke dirt bikes and outboards. There should be a reed valve that goes between the carb and block. make sure that is clean and not worn out looking. I don't really know how it works, but I do know that it needs to...

    What would you pay

    Talked with the guy today. He's asking $1000. I figure I could talk him down a little. I did find out its a 1996 War Eagle 14'. Whats it worth?

    Full Time Duck Boat, Part time Fishing Boat Build

    Thanks. I used styx river stencils. It went on pretty easy. About a day of prep and an hour of spraying. I wish I had used a darker green for the base, but I was still pretty impressed with the results. I hunt in Marion SC on the big and little Pee Dee River. We have a three day season during...

    Full Time Duck Boat, Part time Fishing Boat Build

    Finally got around to getting the finished pictures up. I ended up painting the motor OD Green. Don't have any pictures of it yet. I test drove it last weekend. Pretty nice. feels more responsive since its a lot heavier.

    What would you pay

    for a several year old war eagle jon boat. I think its about a 1436 or 1536. Galvanised trailer and no motor. I looked it up on NADA. $850 for boat $350 for trailer. Just rebuilt my 14ft Polar Kraft so that kind of money is way out of the budget. It's a hunting buddies boat that I', thinking I...

    Boat Cover

    Anybody have any experience with boat covers? I normally just use a tarp or a fitted boat cover, but they are aggravating to use. I have in mind a PVC frame that is molded to the boat that has a tarp rapped around it. Sorta like a dog pen roof or something. Then just lift the frame/cover on and...

    Full Time Duck Boat, Part time Fishing Boat Build

    Well, after another long saturday, I'm about 95% done. All the mods are done, just have to install everything in the boat. I have to camo the outboard and hang it on the back. Yesterday I camo'ed the boat with styx river stencils. I am pretty impressed with the results, but sort of wish I had...

    TRAILER TONGUE

    I'm not sure about the correct tongue length. But I do have a tip, learned and tried from this forum. Go to Walmart and get a chopping block made out of plastic. Rip it down and use it as the carpet on the bunks. The boat will slide a lot eaiser than it did with carpet, and it only cost about...

    Yet another paint question...

    Its raining outside. Can I move my boat under the garage and paint it? I'm worried that the moisture will keep the paint from drying.

    I hit one early morning bump last season. The whole boat turned up on one side. SCARED me to death. There was snow on the ground and everything.

    Thanks Bufford. I looked at your thread...looks like you have a nice setup too. Have you gotten the lawnmower batteries yet? I'm thinking about getting just one to run a spotlight and some interior leds. How long do you think they would run with just one lawn mower battery?

    Full Time Duck Boat, Part time Fishing Boat Build

    Hello to all. I have been searching for a forum like this for quite some time. I posted my build on ar1.com and someone pointed me over here. This is a great place and I have learned a lot in the past two nights. My boat is a 14 something Polar Kraft. It has been in and out of my family longer...
