Having used both anchors in many bottom structures and river conditions, the toothed anchor is a bit better holder and easier to un-stick in rocky...

Look for the most undisturbed water flow. That can be a vee or slick, deeper water. To go down, I turn the bow upstream and use the trolling motor to...

Thanks for all the info. With no dealer close by to help me, I think I just need to forget about the idea of switching this motor to a jet. I don't...

My understanding was that the horsepower rating of the hull only applied to outboard engines. Since the jet motor is now inboard, the HP rating does...

I took all of the weight off of the knee brace on my boat. I added a piece of rectangular tube behind the rear bench seat and used two pieces of 3/8...

I'm usually not looking for gravel/sand but my main river when it gets really low late summer/early fall is when smallie fishing is best, and some...

An 1860 will be fine with a115/80 unless the boat is a pig weight wise, it won't scream, but it should plane out just fine. The funny thing a lot of...

I'd say 34-36mph depending on load and setup, sure some 60/40's are seeing this, but it will beat a 60/40 by far when your loaded down in terms of...

That sounds like an awesome project. This section is for inboard and outboard jet boats. Try asking in the boat house section.

If someone can't...

It's a jet tunnel, the prop tunnel for that year has the center console more in the middle not forward.

I have a welded 2002 1542 Grizzly with the split back seat. I'm about to put a 20/25 2 stroke on it and ill let you know how it does.

I've suggested a mud motor section with no luck. I've been thinking about putting a longtail on my 12ft jon. It would be great for those times when...

Yes. This is my first SI fish finder and I'm still experimenting with settings.

I'd like to hear opinions to on the K5 and places that install.

Cool Project

I just purchased a used Grizzley 1648 with a 30 hp Merc prop. i am converting it to a small fly fishing skiff.

1. I am also adding...

I have always heard that 2 engines are much less efficient than 1 of the combined hp. Not sure what the beam is on that 16 ft boat but 2 120 hp...

It sounds like there is too much slack so if you can tighten that up, it should help the reverse, the start up lever and even forward should come in...

Sorry, outdated post

Well, the transom brace doesn't match mine. Mine is a cast aluminum, rather than stamped one. My boat is a 10-foot, (but actual distance is closer to...

My 1648 weldbilt has a canted transom, so there may be 5% or so tilt. Put on a 50/35 short shaft tiller and it needed to be lifted up to the last two...

I'm running a 1648 weldbilt with a 2 cycle Tohatsu 50/35. Goes as fast as I want to go. It uses more fuel than a prop. It's a modvee with not much...

I don't think many of mass producers do, but plenty of custom boat builders do. For bigger manufactures I know Excel boats have longitudinal...

Update: Took the boat on the lake this past weekend. The weight of the deck and bow motor was fine. The 1542 was solid and stable.

No issues at all...

I have a 2019 Merc 60 40 jet and it’s done this from day one at idle. It is the impeller rubbing the wear ring.

I don’t want to have to get over the...
