Don't have any of it recent. This is it when I bought it earlier this spring. Previous owner kind of neglected it, so I have spent a lot of time (and cash) working on it, but I've done all the work myself and its running perfectly now. I only paid a grand for it, so I can't really complain.

I am going to have to install some new fish finders though and plan on reflooring, recarpeting and adding a bait well during the colder months this winter. The current fish finders are Humminbird Piranha Max 10s which are probably older than I am. I am planning on installing Garmin Echo 551 DVs. I also already installed the green LED lights to attract bait fish and night.. and they work amazingly.

It's a 1990 Javelin 378 FS with a 1979 Johnson 140 hp v4. In fairly good shape, two working live wells stern and bow. Seats 5 but that would be rather crowded. I plan on removing the center seat in the rear and turning the area it's mounted over into a baitwell as well as making a step for the aft fishing platform.

Nope, factory.. I really only have it there to hold up the cover.

 

 

What a great looking boat! That would suit me down to the ground.

ok, thanx!! yes thats another good use for it...

First tournament of the year. Boat wanted to fish without me lol

My river rat.

My canoe:

-Old Town Guide 14'7"

-MinnKota C2 55lb trolling motor

-Bullnose TM Rudder

-Kipawa deep pitch weedless propeller

-Kayak Fin Skeg mounted at the bow end

-Kayalu Kayalite Navigation lights

-custom motor mount

Fin skeg at the front end has improved tracking somewhat. It can maintain course a lot better with a headwind. It would probably work better if it was mounted more forward but the bottom of the boat isn't quite flat enough past this.

Attached the skeg to the hull with JB weld epoxy. The first job was kind of half assed and it actually came off. Second time I made sure to sand it down, clean it, blow torch it, and used a lot more epoxy. Much stronger now.

C2 55lb is about as much thrust as my canoe mount will take. It is abut 4.0-4.2 mph on a full battery in calm water according to my navionics.

Mount I made out of maple and has held up well the past 4-5 years. No concerns about anything coming loose but I do keep a safety rope tied to the motor just in case.

If you ever make a mount like this for a canoe make sure to use 1/2" or bigger carriage bolts. I think mine are 5/8. It's important because you need to torque them down every trip out without stripping the threads. Maple or another quality hardwood is important too. Pine will definitely not last, and anything plastic will warp. Don't think any commercial products will hold up long.

Bullnose rudder has helped with turning, adjusting the direction of the boat when going longer distances. The Kipawa prop is deeper pitch so acceleration is less, top speed is more.

Nav lights will last about 72 hrs on AAs

Took it to the lake Saturday, my first time pulling it with the truck, got rid of my Trailblazer. Big difference in towing!

Not nearly to the level as many of you guys, but this one gets me around any of the lakes we have in my area just fine.  Also allows me to get into places the lager boats cannot go.

Here's mine...Stratos 20SS Extreme with a 200HP Etec.  HBird 998 and 898 and hopefully soon a PP or Talon (or 2 ).  Snapped this while beached for a lunch break on the Potomac.
