    80 lb Traxxis

    Just got an 80 lb minn kota traxxis and just noticed it draws 56A max. The 70 lb draws 42A, that's 14A more for 10lbs of thrust. My Deka batteries do 200 minutes @ 23A reserve capacity which will probably get me about 65-70 minutes full blast on the water right? It seems like the 70lb motor is...

    Deck Question

    I just recently got a 1448 20 MV from Alumacraft and the front mini deck is not the same height as the bench with the storage compartment. Do you guys typically raise up the bench so it's level with the front ? What do you recommend. I'm wanting to connect the two places with aluminum framing...

    Fish Finder Size

    Does it really matter ? 5" or 3.5" Garmin Echo 301dv Garmin Echo 551dv I know the 5" gives better resolution but is it really worth it?

    Thrust :)

    I got a 1448 MV jon and was wondering what's good # of thrust for the front. I got a 24v system with a 80 lb traxxis out back to move me around the lake quick. Should I go with something similar up front or is that way overkill for fishing?

    Jon Boat Plug

    Just got my first Alumacraft 1448 V jon boat. The plug hole on the outside looks to be smashed down and more oval looking. Does everyone plug these on the inside of the boat or on the outside? Just curious if mine is damaged :)

    Painting

    Is it possible to paint over the existing paint of a jon boat, like alumnacraft if it's brand new? I'm not a fan of the olive green color and want to change it, but don't want to sand down a new boat :) Could I clean it and possibly paint over the existing paint?

    Trailer Bunk Ramps

    I have a tracker grizzly 1448 and found a new awesome lake to fish, but they only allow hand launching, so you can only back your wheels up to the water on the ramp. Has anyone every made bunk ramps that extend off the rear? That way it can hang off the back and connect with a 45 and allow for...

    Grizzly or Topper

    I'm looking at the 1448 grizzly for two people to stand in but the price is a little high for me. The 1542 topper looks nice as well and the price makes sense :) What do yall think or recommend? Will the topper work well?

    Plywood for transom

    I removed the old nasty plywood that was in my transom. What can I put on the wood that can be in contact with aluminum that will protect it from rotting for a long time?

    Paint?

    About to paint my aluminum boat. I bought some self etching primer and sanded the boat down the best I can with 200 sand paper. Will this duplicolor engine enamel hold up good? It will be freshwater only.

    Topper 1436 vs 1542

    I'm still debating on which boat to go with, I only fish mainly for bass and lakes that are electric only. I know the 1542 will be more stable since it's 42" wide but the question is how much? $400 dollars worth? Is the 1436 ok with two people and a suspended floor?

    Jon boat vs V hull

    I'm looking to purchase a 12' - 14' Jon boat mainly a Tracker Topper or an aluminum v-hull. I want to build a front and rear casting deck and use this mainly for bass fishing. How is stability on these setups and what does everyone recommend?
