It's a row boat, but these boats suck for actual rowing. They're designed to basically not move as water current flows underneath. It makes a lot easier for the rower to keep the boat almost motionless.
I'll need to put a little 9.9 hp outboard on the back so that I can motor across lakes and incoming tides. |

Crazy that that hunk of aluminum is $17,000. |

Date: May 16th, 2019 10:42 AM Author: useless gaming laptop I did, (see the plates), but I decided to buy a custom drift boat, and he's hauling it up to AK. He gets a bulk discount, since he buys like 40 boats/yr and he's only charging me 2k to haul it up, instead of 4k. I could make 4-5k selling it the second it arrives.
Turned out better than I expected, love all the diamond plate. I have brand new seats and 10' oars in my garage. |

Date: May 16th, 2019 11:13 AM Author: useless gaming laptop No, he normally just buys their stock model, then resells.
Have you taken the Klamath out yet? How'd she do? |

Date: May 16th, 2019 12:08 PM Author: ultramarine set Only been out a couple times. A couple things I' need to fix. The fuel gauge doesn't work and I need to fix a bunk on the trailer, but overall she's great. A lot more space than my old boat. There's a welded transducer mount on the transom that throws up a weird rooster tail that lands in the splashwell, but not that big a deal.

Date: May 16th, 2019 6:59 PM Author: useless gaming laptop The float in your tank is probably stuck, you may need to replace to fix so that your gauge is accurate.
Bunks are easy. Helps if you have an 1/2" impact driver. I bought a cheap ryobi and use it all the time. I stopped carpeting my bunks and they last longer. Don't use treated wood, it'll impact your aluminum.
Can you grind off transducer mount with an angle grinder? Or at least get it flush? Should be a fairly easy fix. |
