    Thoughts on this boat?

    Ok, that makes sense on the transom. Generally speaking, what would the motor need to be brought back to life? Considering everything was in good condition when parked that is.

    Thoughts on this boat?

    I should have clarified, what do you see on the transom that needs attention?

    Thoughts on this boat?

    Well the goal is to have a small boat that is easy to maintain. Just something that I can take the kids out fishing if they wanna go.

    Thoughts on this boat?

    I’m looking for some input. I just sold my Jon boat that didn’t have a title because, let’s face it you are limited with what you can do with a boat without a title. Anyway now I’ve got a little pocket change, I’ve got the opportunity to pick up another boat. It’s a 15’ crestliner with 15hp...

    Ideas for an old trailer?

    Looking for ideas on what to do with an old boat trailer that was gifted to me. I was thinking about maybe building a cooker of some type, or perhaps making it into a tractor hauler for my father in law’s 2000 pound kubota that stays at my house. Not sure about that one though, not sure about...

    Bass boat resurrection

    Well I’ve been messing with this thing for a bit and I can’t get it to fire off. There’s a water alarm on the dash that sounds anytime the key is on, but even with the lower unit in water it still sounds. I’ve even tried a bit of starting fluid and no luck. I don’t think I’m getting spark but I...

    Bass boat resurrection

    Finally had a nice day to put on a new fuel line, install new plugs and an impeller kit. Wasn’t able to get it to fire up though. I didn’t mess with it very long, I just wanted to get the new parts in. I’ve also got the seats in place. One step at a time I guess. But I’m also kicking around the...

    Even if it isn’t, I still have 2 more outboards I could use on it.

    What should I do with this free boat?

    Looking for honest opinions on what to do with this thing. It’s free, with title. And my cousin gave me a trailer for it. But, the floor is rotten and the front fiberglass deck is busted, so my thoughts are to part it out, scrap the hull, and rent the trailer out. Does anyone see any parts here...

    Bass boat resurrection

    After settling in from having our daughter, I’m hopefully back on track with the boat. First order of business was to get some new tires on the trailer, which I did yesterday. Now I can get it wherever I need to go to get work done. I have a water pump kit on order, and I’m going to pick up some...

    Bass boat resurrection

    Well, in every nook and cranny, all I can lay eyes on is fiberglass. Where should I look to try any get an eye on the wood? Is it possible it’s built entirely of fiberglass?

    Bass boat resurrection

    Well I finally got a battery in and got to take a look at the motor. It looks like it was run last week, so that’s a good sign. All the linkages are present, attached, and move freely. Bilge pump and aerator work, Nav lights don’t so far. I also have a switch that says fuel, not sure what it...

    What would you recommend for polishing it? Or attempting to at least.

    Bass boat resurrection

    That trailer isn’t galvanized that I can tell. It could be fiberglass gel coat, and it probably is. I’m new to all this. I hope it’ll be something I can be proud of, I don’t feel like it’ll take much to make it nice.

    Bass boat resurrection

    Hey all, hopefully this is in the right section. This is my first boat project, and the first one I’ve personally owned, although I grew up on a pontoon since my dad has always had one. Anyway, it’s a bumble bee, got the whole package for $400, with title. The sticker on says 2010, I’m assuming...
