Guys I hate to do this but I have to sell my boat. Hopefully one day I will be able to get another, but recent family issues and finances have put a huge burden on me. I would like to get 3000.00 obo. Well it is a 78 cuddy It has a solid rebuit arjay transom you can look back at my old posts to...

Hey guys wasn't sure where to post this but I have a question. I am thinking about taking a look at a 248 sportsman. It will take a little work but for the right price I am thinking about picking it up. Anything I should be concerned about? Are they solid boats? It will be used for fishing the...

I was finally able to get the V out for some spring Rockfish trolling on the Chesapeake. Beautiful day on a great boat.

I was finally able to get the anchor roller installed, it is not quite finished but it will have to do for now because I need to get fishing. We just finally got the first cutting of hay in, so now I can get down to the bay.

I am thinking about keeping my boat in a slip this year. Is there any precautions I should take? It will have new bottom paint and bilge pump but other than that is there anything else I should do?

I am considering installing one of these over the winter. Have any of you guys ever installed or used one? I was also thinking about going a size larger so I would not have to build a pulpit.

Ok, looks like I am going to be doing the anchor pulpit this winter. I need to start anchoring up more and I don't like draging that anchor out of the locker all the time. What size anchor roller should I use? I have been searching the threads but I didn't find the size. So this will be my...

Hey guys need some advice. I banged up my prop a bit coming in at low tide yesterday and I was wondering if I could still run it that way it is or if I should just get another one. I am just running out to live line and slow troll. The one blade is bent some but the rest just got chipped.

Well I finally mounted a motor on that new transom of mine and got back on the water. I pulled it 2.5 hours and around the capital beltway and it didn't fall off. I took her out this weekend and all is good, even managed to throw a few croaker in the boat.

Had some extra time this week in the evenings and decided to make a seat/livewell holder. (It is really going to hold my home made portable livewell) . I threw it together with some left over plywood and some hinges on my work bench. If it works out ok, I will make a permanent one next winter. I...

Hey guys I was pulling my reserve tank out from in front of the main tank today and after I pulled it out I noticed that the bulkhead was rotten big time. My question is will I be ok with just replacing the middle section of the bulkhead? Everything else seems solid except for the middle, but I...

Nice, check out the pictures and video...

I am in the middle of a transom rebuild and I wanted to get some thoughts on using a jackplate with a 10 inch setback. The transom is notched to 20 inches but I am looking to repower and that would allow me to use either a 20 or 25 inch motor and if I don't get a newer motor then I can still use...

Ok I did it I pulled my motor today to start digging out the transom. I have read I believe every thread on it I could find and most of it seems pretty straight forward. I would like to put a bracket on the back and fill in the transom area and believe the bracket would mount just below where...

I am getting ready to redo my transom and I was looking at where the stringers attached and figured I would check them out. What I found was from the drain hole in the stringers back, I had very little wood left but from the hole forward was ok and all the fiberglass was strong. I was planning...
