    Fisher bosts

    Fisher boats WERE top of the line UNTIL they were bought out by Brunswick. Brunswick cheapened them up. Pretty much took the Spectrum boat line and slapped the Fisher name on them in about 1996. They were no longer indestructible but they looked prettier. Did not like the way that welded...

    Kicker motor vs towing

    No I haven't. Dad used it on a few trips and did have to use it once and put it on the transom, but not in rough water. His little boat, and mine, don't go out on big water. And if a storm kicks up, we usually head to shore and shelter under a 10x12 plastic tarp.

    Kicker motor vs towing

    My 15 hp kicker is bolted to the transom, no bracket, always is on the boat. Used for trolling or emergencies. The other boat , 4 hp kicker, is in the boat, strapped down. Only used for emergencies. No towing or Good Samaritans available where I usually boat.

    Making a 16' Aluminum fish boat TOO LIGHT.

    I've been trying to find a better spring, something to give a bit more travel. Something like the coil over from my Honda trail 70.

    Need help with my prop

    Definitely under powered. I had the same boat model and year. 65 hp was not enough, as you discovered. You need a more hp I believe it is rated for 125 hp. Put a 90, 115, or 125 on it and enjoy boating.

    Challenging loading

    NO. The transom needs to be supported. To lessen the tongue weight, you move the entire axle forward. Possible adjustments to make would include lowering the bunks, backing in so that only 1 foot of the bunks are above the water. Raising the winch so the strap is pulling level, or slightly...

    Aluminum tubing for a new canvas soft top on a 1989 Starcraft Islander 221V

    Do the 2 hour drive. Take pen, paper, tape measure, and a friend to help. Also use the measuring app on your cell phone.

    Rookie move... ;) 75-ish Orrion

    Its her turn now. SELL THE PLANE. Buy her a modern boat. PLANES: I see them as an expensive nuisance and ego booster, that you have to have inspected, wiped down, store and serviced, licensed, insured........ Its all about perspective, but it IS her turn now.

    1957 …Now we’re talking Great Granddad, most people have never met their GGD and have no knowledge or interest in his “old junk.”

    I'm sad, need new gps

    Yeah I heard about that, sunshine and heat in Canada, but have never been able to confirm the existence of either. My spring trips usually consist of 45* and rain. LOL.
