Looking into starting a project

Featured Replies

I am interested in starting a project build for the winter. I want my boat to be as light as possible and stable to hold 4 people max, but mostly be fishing by myself. The boat would have to be all electric to save a highschool kid some money down the road. What size boat would you first recommend? I will probably interest in one or two transom trolling motors. Which ones are affordable and strong (speed)? I want to install a livewell also, but only buy the essential parts from fishing companies and compensate the livewell tank with like a cooler or something. The tubing from like home depot or lowes anything to keep the stuff you can get cheap but like the same exact thing. I will need batteries also so recommend so good and affordable ones! Oh, and I would like to add a deck maybe 5-8 feet? Oh recommend a charger for the batteries. I don't need a back one deck but it would be nice  so...  Please help me out! Please make a list of cost per item and maybe send links to your projects also.

I am interested in getting a outboard only if its pretty fuel effecient though...

Why don't you ask for the Sun, the Moon and the Stars while you're at it?  Do you often have others do ALL of your homework for you?  Geez!   :;)

You're going to need a lot of money to do what you want to do and a big boat.

Good luck. Do your homework and you'll find out what I mean.
