Well here it is. I've pretty much completed my first boat mod. The boat has not yet been in the water since I started this build. I will be hauling it up to Panguitch on Tuesday for a 6 day trout fishing/gold panning expedition. Hoping to god that it floats and does what it is supposed to do. I...

Been a while since I was off playing on Maui...trying for the 5th year in a row to catch the elusive Ulua or Giant Trevally - no luck, AGAIN! Nabbed a few aku or Skipjack Tuna and some ahi or Yellowfin tuna on the charters though! But I've been back a couple weeks and bored silly. I can only...

Well...got anxious. So used plywood instead of alum. Brother came over and we mounted the hinges on the frame. anyway, any pics of doors would be helpful!

probably should add that its going to be 1/8 in aluminum

I'm getting close to the point where I will be cutting doors into the deck over the storage area. I wanted to do two doors. I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be (measuring, etc). Also, not sure what to do about hinges. Looking for advice. Thanks!

So I have a 30 transom mount minn kota that I need to wire from the back to the middle where the battery will be...plus I need to wire bow and stern lights as well as my sonar. I know NOTHING about electrical wiring sizes. I was looking at some stuff online and it seems pretty expensive for...

The power station...finally came though in email.

Ok - been a short bit due to funding and end of the school year junk (I'm a teacher) but I was able to pick up some alum angle and PVC piping today. I started the frame with 1/8 inch angle. I'm really hoping this holds up to an occasional 200 lbs, but I don't plan on standing on this deck very...

online retail therapy is just as effective for men as actual retail therapy is for women! I went on a little clicking spree just now and bought my paint (decided against steelflex), 7.5hp 1980 Johnson short shaft, a 6 gal tank w/pump and line, a minn kota power station as well. I'm going to...

where'd ya get the tinboats sticker?

Well, I'm still waiting on funding for needed materials. So I'm pretty much at a standstill on the work.

Nice waste of $100. Loud as hell and oversprays like beeeyotch

is there some sort of initiation I have to go through before anyone else posts on this thread? tater, I am appreciating your replies more than you could know, but I think that multiple heads are better than two! =D>

I only have a 30 lb thrust minnkota...transom mount. Not looking for foot control. I'll continue to think about this.

I'm so anxious to work on my boat but my drill is making horrific noises so I'm worried about using it. Gotta go pick up the spare from my camper. That diagram is a little off...only one rib in front of the middle bench...two behind. I wanted to deck all the way from the middle to the front...

OK - this is really crappy, but workable for now. Keep in mind that there will be floors.

Whatever you do...don't by the wagner spray gun...it sucks!

So what I'm reading is that you will pump freshwater IN TO the tank with one and OUT of the tank with the other. Not understanding the holes. Sorry if I'm asking for a lot of info - I'm highly visual so I need to see things in order to understand them...reading doesn't do crap for me. lol. I'm...

looks great. if possible, could you take a couple pics of the entire boat from up above? I'd like to see where everything is situated. I'm curious about your pumps. Which ones do what? one is for aeration and one is to pump water out after use? I'd be interested in learning more about how you...
