    jon boat upgrade

    I had mine done in an olive green. I can't really say how well it does in the heat yet. The warmest it's been while I was on the water has been around 85. 8) But at that temp, you can walk all over it barefoot with no problems. The guys were right about the color palette. The shop that...

    Not another wiring question!

    I have both of mine on the same switch. Getcha a double pole, double throw rocker switch with center off. You can wire it up where one side runs both bow & stern and the other side runs just the stern for an anchor light.

    Fog lights???

    I've got a set of 6" KC Daylighters for the early morning duck hunts. Really helps to see the pesky stumps that tend to sneak up on you. Mine are 110w and they're pretty thirsty but I only use them on the run to my spots. Once I get there and figure out how I want my spread set up, they get...

    Basic wiring help needed

    I used positive and negative bus bars for my set up with a switch panel. Why is a bus bar for the positive side bad? I havent had any issues with mine. One line from the battery + supplies power to the bus bar, the bar powers my switch panel. One line from the battery - grounds the negative...

    Post a pic of your mounted bow trolling motor.

    I ordered this mount from War Eagle. They have two sizes, this one and then a taller 6" version. It's bolted through the deck in back and I rounded off the nose and put two self tapping screws into the lip of the bow. The pics don't show the nose mods...

    FishmatePro Warning!!! Do not Trust These Guys...

    I got the same story about the "investor" being out of the country. I was told the $50 I'm owed would be sent at the end of January... Well it's the end of February and still no refund... His "investor" must have done a touch n go and left the country again...

    FishmatePro Warning!!! Do not Trust These Guys...

    If you get to talk to him again, ask him why your phone number was blocked. My calls still dont go through. It doesnt even ring. "The party you are calling is not accepting calls at this time. Please hang up now. 53929" Thats all I get...

    FishmatePro Warning!!! Do not Trust These Guys...

    Yeah. Thats the same address from his now non-existant website. I guess I could always show up on his door and let him know he still owes me money... Anyone else up for a road trip??

    FishmatePro Warning!!! Do not Trust These Guys...

    THH, sorry to hear about your bad luck. The only contact information I have for Dan Howell came from his website. I called "Information" in Cedar Rapids Iowa to try and get a home phone number so I could try again but they only have the number thats listed on his website. I just checked a...

    All the bracing is aluminum. I dont know how your fuel system is set up but if you have a tank under the deck and the fill cap above the deck, I would make sure there is a straight shot to the tank from the gas pump. I had an idea of where I wanted the fill cap to go and where the tank needed...

    16' Cajun Special (Updated)

    There are a couple of pics of the back deck bracing. The front deck and gun box are framed the same way. Full length horizontal braces running from side to side on the top and bottom of each deck with vertical supports in between. I dont know how to weld so everything is either riveted in...

    16' Cajun Special (Updated)

    Total on the job was $1250 out the door with tax and everything. Truck beds are around 400 for black. I figure I have at least 2.5 truck beds worth of coverage plus the custom color. Not to mention all the prep work that had to be done. All gauges and controls had to be taped and covered...

    They really are. I had a spare when all the seat mounts were installed so I put it on a tripod for bow season. Able to hunt all day long. Still didnt see anything!

    1976 Mercury 20hp motor Serial # 482178

    Hey guys. Im trying to find the starter for this motor. When I hit the button, the starter will spin the flywheel one stroke and then pause before it does it again. It doesnt keep her pulsing long enough to fire. Kinda acts like its not getting enough juice from the batteries. I have two...

    I'm gonna try to make my own stencils for the outside. In and out of the boat with muddy waders will be enough "decoration" for the inside.

    16' Cajun Special (Updated)

    Got the boat back from being sprayed. I couldnt be any more pleased with the results. All the wood work seams are now sealed and it looks fantastic. The marine ply was sealed on all sides before it was sprayed but it's even more waterproof now. Ive hunted out of the boat twice now and the...

    16' Cajun Special (Updated)

    Picked them up from Cabelas. They were a little pricey but I was really impressed with the quality. Really Heavy duty. I can walk all over them and they dont flex or give at all. I had seen some plastic hatches that were more affordable but I didnt know if the Rhino Liner would adhear to...

    16' Cajun Special (Updated)

    Thanks man! It wont be bare wood for long. Its getting coated in Rhino Liner this week. I should have it back this weekend. I was told it would add about 60lbs to the boat but that shouldnt slow me down too much. With my Dad and I in the boat, we hit 35mph and I can get her up to 37mph by...
