    Full enclosed bimini top?

    I have a 14 ft Livingston that I would like to get a Bimini top with the side curtains and front windshield type piece for. I've seen them on livingstons and other small boats such as aluminum sleds. I am having a hard time finding one without it being a custom job as I don't know exactly what...

    Using hull contours as fiberglass mold for cooler

    I have a 14ft livingston with a center console. I'd like to build some coolers into the two hulls that fit snugly in the contours of the hulls and the lids essentially create a flat deck in front of the console. My anticipated plan is to use a plastic tote, and rigid foam insulation/expanding...

    1979 35hp charging coil vs. 1980's charging coil

    I've got a 1979 evinrude 35hp tiller outboard pull start. I run nav lights, a fish finder and a stereo on my boat and wanted a charging coil.

    Building a 14ft Livingston console

    Re: Building a 14ft Livingston console Well it's been a while since I've updated this.. I'm for the most part done for now on my initial goals for the boat. I ended up doing a bow deck, 1/2" plywood with 9 oz cloth. and a stern deck with 3/8" plywood with csm. On both I used 1x6 bracing, and...

    Building a 14ft Livingston console

    Re: Building a 14ft Livingston console So the console has been fiberglassed. Not nearly as perfect as I would have liked it to turn out, thought I had done a pretty good job sanding it smooth before putting white pigment and surfacing agent in the resin, but nonetheless it feels very smooth...

    Re: Building a 14ft Livingston console Also note, the board that the steering is on on the front of the console is not the face plate for the console, it is the backing plate, and there is another board that actually fits the space... And here is the inspiration for my boat.. although I will...

    Re: Building a 14ft Livingston console Finally Made some progress this week now that Christmas is over and family is gone. I've deci ded to go with the center console design. Few things to note: 1. The 35 hp evinrude doesn't have the tilt tube steering, so I'm using a pivoting mount, with a...

    Building a 14ft Livingston console

    I bought a 14 ft livingston this past summer, with a 35 hp johnson and a 5hp kicker. It's the larger of the 14 ft models I've seen. It's rating is for a 40hp remote, and 50hp with twins. the 35 is more than enough to push it for now, however with just me in the boat, it is near impossible to...
