Looking for ideas/inspiration. I have a vintage Mirrocraft Ski n troll with a Johnson outboard and metal tank. I want to put an enclosure of some kind over the fuel tank like a crate or chest…something with a vintage look I could put a tackle box on or sit on if I needed to. Have any of you...
Ok, I'm helping a friend with this motor. Apparently the "last guy" in the carb punched in the brass inlet seat flush with the carb body and now she floods. Is there a way to get the brass seat back out 1/8" to get the float at the right height? I haven't taken the topside of the carb off...
Re: Thermoforming Mirrocraft windshield successful
Thanks, George. I thought the original widshield had a slight curve from top to bottom, but I wasn't sure. The two-part mold explains that. It was so warped from the weight of snow and ice over the previous 10 years that I couldn't tell...

Hi, my project boat is my grandfather's 1971 Mirrocraft Ski-N-Troll aluminum 14'. I need a battery for lights only, no elec start. Historically, we've put a tiny 12v motorcycle/ATV battery 3.5"x6"x7"+/- in a wooden box sitting on the floor near the transom...not exactly secure or spill-proof...
