I'm not a mechanic...OK thats out of the way. However the one I went to said to scrap this thing. I wanted to get y'alls opinion on that advice. 50hp, 3 cyl, 2 stroke, compression is uneven and I don't know off the top of my head what it is (ill find it later) sat upright for 2-3 years after I...

Was able to get the steering in and the throttle assembly. Ill have to pull it all when I paint but im feeling good about the progress. Electrical will start soon and Ill be over in that thread as I know about zilch when it comes to that. FYI: Using a cutting board to line sawn metal holes...

To evenly distribute weight in my custom jon boat I want to mount the trolling motor and outboard batteries up front. Any issue with just ordering longer cables for my outboard from genuinedealz.com?? Voltage drop, etc....

@ DPI, The platform will be used for poling for REDs in the flats. Its easier to sight fish from that vantage point. Also Ill be able to use the Dead space for a T-Bag and have some extra storage as well.

So I finally after a long time I brought the boat home. I don't own a welder and don't know how to do it (at this time) so after about two years we have completed the "ROUGH" engineering and welding. I used the old steering cable to rough in what I think is a good fix to run the steering under...

Platform finished and installed. Back top bar for Rocket Launchers...

I assume most of you lost interest in my project.....lol However the show must go on! Poling platform is fabbed and going in, gun box is in, console is secured! Home stretch now! A few holes to weld up and then on to electrical and rigging! I'm thinking linex the complete interior and wrap the...

Here are a few pics of the most recent progress. Hope I loaded them correctly. Still have to rig the motor, install steering system, electrical, trolling motor, gun box, and seating. A ways left to go but getting closer....every year! (i know it has been a while)

BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I POSTED AND IVE HAD A SLOW GO OF IT BUT HERE ARE SOME PROGRESS PICS. FLATS STALKER IS TAKING SHAPE!!

Super Slick 1st coat is applied!!! Man this stuff is SLICK once it dries!!

Finally completed the prep work and was able to apply primer! Thansk to my neighbor for teaching me how to use a spray gun!!

The first and second pic (from bottom to top) are with a 4.5 inch grinder and 60 grit. Takes way to long! the other pics are with aircraft stripper. It doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. looks like a long time before shes ready for steel-flex :(!

Thanks for the info. Once I hang the motor Ill do that. I have to finish the build but I wanted a good starting point. 1968 TERRY River flats slayer is my thread under jon boat conversions.

On another note, if I install a center console I'll only have 11 inches on either side to walk.....I really want a center console but this seems like it will lead to a safety hazard. The CC im looking at is a Seark with a livewell/dry storage seat up front. 19" wide by 33" long. Length is no...

My motor # is OC134528 If you can use that for more info then I would appreciate it. Ill go to the site and try a cross reference with this number as well.

Thanks for the link! Ill order a manual and get started. I have the serial number at home and can provide later.

I must give all credit for the transom to Dawson Mion at Fish On Fabricators in Cartersville GA! He did a great job and I will be back to have more work done there, as I am not a welder. No instructions came with the steelflex superslick.........?????

I picked up a 1989 50 HP, 3 cylinder (3 spark plugs) with tilt and trim for 650 bucks. Problem is it has no prop and I know nothing about props. Can someone help me pick the right one? - 3 blade vs 4 blade? - What Pitch should I get? Mainly lake and river fishing however some flats fishing...

Now I need to flip the boat and Steelflex Super Slick the hull. I ordered it, it came in, but I have no idea how to apply it. Any help and guidance is appreciated.

New Transom!!!
