Good morning everybody. Well my little 12' Aluminum has come a long way this past summer. I did not get to do decking or flooring in the boat this year but I did manage to find myself a little outboard and did a nice full paint job. Here is the before picture of my boat, I picked up a Evinrude...

Nice stuff, thanks for posting. Looks great

Great mod, what speeds are you getting with that 15hp? I'm adding in some deck wood and stuff like you did to my 12' and want to power it with a 8-15hp motor...still in the searching process.

Nice mod, keep the work going on it!

Great build, sucks you don't have it anymore :( Love your "rail" idea and TM bracket. Going to put those ideas into my 12' V Aluminum in another month or so...can't wait to get it going

Also, I have decided that removing the old paint would be best. Is there a name I can go to Canadian Tire with next week and pick up a can of something. This is entirely new to me, I'll search around some but I'm looking for something that I can brush on then take off with steel wool or a...

Well it's not much but it's a start. I picked up all the bracket's i'll need, a small lock latch and some hinges for the bow box. Next up is a sealant to cover rivet's with on floor(covered with wood), a jig saw and some lacker to waterproof the wood. 2 more months and I can start(march) and...

Nice work so far, very clean and professional looking IMO. I would screw everything in, just makes it solid. Looking forward to the next set of photo's.

Nice job so far, keep with the updates!

Since I've started buying the materials I'm doing a complete reno on my 12' Aluminum. I am putting front deck into it, a small bow box, a wood floor in the back, all fully carpeted, boat will be painted inside and out, will spread some goup on the inside bottom rivets and anywhere where water...

Point taken, I asked for it assuming it would be good. Never bought it tho, just asked price point. I'll ask for the regular exterior stuff then, I'm assuming the wood would be a few loonies cheaper. Before putting on the outdoor carpet should I apply lacker to the wood to help with...

The 1/2" Pressure treated plywood is around $35. I'll grab 2 sheets, going to support the deck with ply wood some how. Still waitint until the start of March(end of ice fishing) then I'll do the boat in a weeks time. Settled on a Varimax that I'm going to mount on the bow and the Lowrance Mark...

It seems a lot of you guys are from the US, I'll post some Ice fishing reports up as the trips happen. I fish for Northern Pike and Big Perch through the ice. Will most likely get out this season for Lake Trout too on Simcoe.

You get use to it, we have had -5 or colder every day for a few weeks now, snow for awhile....tonight i was out for a hour walk, wasn't to bad...-10 maybe feeling like -15 give or take....big factor is the wind, gets chilly when it feels like it's in the mid -20's Ah well, every day i read the...

I would go for the 3.5, it wouldn't hurt. My buddy's dad had a 3hp Johnson that he had on his flat back sportapal. We could cross a small lake un under 10 minutes, there not fast but they move water and thats the goal. I also have a 12'(show us a picture if you haven't already :P) and am...

I read a Q/A on BPS web site and somebody said it does spin around. I might go for the 45lb thrust but would rather the 55lb

My boat is very similar and has yet to start its re birth. looking forward to following this mod buddy.

Hey guys, I put together my final thread before I start my project in just 2 months. I have wanted to learn as much as I could before starting this project. I made a materials list and I want to know what else I need if anything before I do this project. Again for people that have not read my...

I got to drop about 20lbs myself. I'm around 6' and the tire comes and goes like the seasons but it needs to be truly gone this time. Looking forward to doing lot's of walking while shooting pictures in January as well as turning this College diet into more healthier choices. If you don't cook...

Well a powerful Endura would be perfect on the front. If anybody has some more feedback this would be a much cheaper solution than a big bow mount on a 12' boat.
