I have not seen a single thing on here that I can anchor it down. Am I supposed to go buy a throw over the side an or or what?

Working through a transformation

Almost done restoring it and I’m wondering what specificity this hull is. I believe it’s a modified vee Lowe hull because of a Dynaplane and “parallel plate construction” branding on the back. This hull is fully aluminum and features built in float pods and a raised and setback transom, basically like a jackplate. It’s long shaft. 15.5’x66”. I believe its manufactured date is 1990. The HID starts with letters VEX which could just be a state assigned HID. It seems like a top of the line performance model but I’m just trying to but a label on it. Thanks

Caught a couple bass with my daughter. Happy Earth Day!

My dad bought this at a garage sale (kind of as a joke) and we’re trying to find out where they were originally from. Can’t find anything. Anyone see these before?

Miscalculated how deep the garage was and how long the boat and trailer is. I’ll have to remove the motor to get the boat in straight. Came with a 25hp merc, duck blind, and a cover. 3500. How’d I do?

Inherited my fathers 81 fisher. The first boat I was on, refit it last year and still adding here and there. Tried to keep it simple and somewhat true to the original. Black spray paint is a temporary fix to block the suns reflections. Added the removable top for the wife and pup recently.

This is my first time rebuilding anything. I’ve learned so much in the process and can’t wait to finish this thing!

Ahoy!! I have a a Lowe 1648 and looking a painting the interior.

Looking for advice on:

Best color for making it look cool and be cool?

Best type/brand

Rattle can, buy a sprayer, or brush?

Also, there is a bead of silicone as pictured from bow to stern- any ideas why someone would have put silicone there?
