I bought a boat, no history available.......solid hull, no leaks, all riveted. How can I tell if it has floatation built in?

I need a pair of 7 1/2' oars for my 12' tinny. Because oars usually go with a boat when it is sold, used ones are hard to find. New? fergit it. 50 each is the norm around here. So I thought I would make a pair. If you have plans or know where I can find some please let me know. I will check...

I bought the good optima the gray one with blue top and multiple terminals. off hand I don't know the particulars of it. it does come highly reccommended. I was out on the resavor for 4 hrs. alternately using my 5 hp outboard and the minnkota. when I came to leave the minny was really...

I bought the HF trailers and it was a fun project to put together. There were just enough parts. No more, no less. The instructions really could use an educated American to write them up, and draw the views larger. That was my biggest complaint. I bought the trailer because my 12' boat is 52"...

what is the minimum speed a self bailer will function? I can only manage about 4 or 5 mph tops.

Thank you Bob, that was so simple to do and stupid of me not to think of it. Probably cos it's 6" off the ground!!

How do I adjust the hitch so it will go over the ball? Or is the ball too big? It's a 1 and 7/8 ball. its a new trailer.

what is safest way to tie down boat to trailer? Never having done that, want to get it right. thanks.

I don't know if it will leak.......it looks tight. Would I be foolish in putting several gallons of water to see if any leaks out? That should show up any leaks, I think. If it does leak, what is a good way to seal them up?

Am trying to go fishing on the cheap......I picked up this engine for $50., checked it out pretty much, put in fresh fuel and a new plug. It will run 5 to 10 seconds then it seems to burp and then quit. The longest it has run was about 30 seconds. I did get a manual for this motor(engine), and...

looking to make a dolly for rough ground use.

Gypsy400. You got me straightened out. I found the hole on the bottom! It's been fun doing this task. I think the little trailer is going to suit me just fine. The nluts are nynuts; are they sufficient or should I put lock washers under each one? My hauls to the lakes won't be more than maybe...

I appreciate your quick reply and solution. Now, is there a trick to feeding the wires and if so, what is it? I thought maybe a vaccuum cleaner might be of assistance, but there are too many bolts in the way........

The instructions say to run the wires inside the tubular frame of the trailer.? That's fine except the tubes deadend where they meet the tongue. Do they mean to drill holes to get around the deadend? How do others do it? I suspect I will be taping them to the outside of the frame.
