Has anyone seen TinBoats.net website and have any opinion? I'm planning on getting rid of my Tracker 175 and getting a john boat to fish Lake Springfield and some of the small waters of my mispent youth. Kind of a bucket list thing. Because of a variety of physical limitations I'm looking at modifications I want too make for comfort. I also want to make sure it's safe.

Exiledguide when do you plan on selling your boat or will you? what type is it? i am looking for a tracker 165 or 175. i have a boat i use on lake springfield but would like to upgrade to something i can take to stockton or table rock.

I have done much viewing on that site, and I think most of the advice that the regulars give is solid. They seem to have a good site in my opinion. Use quality items to make your mods, and use some common sense.

Thanks Patrick but it is alredy sold to my fishing buddy. You might check Craigslist there are a lot of boats out there right now I would look for a 175 for those lakes for safety reasons.

Patrick M, I have a 1994 Tracker TX 175 and trailer for sale....less motor.

EG, Tinboats is a great site, I have gotten some great ideas from there. I've done a bunch of specialty jon mods and would be glad to offer up some ideas/tips. What kinda fishing do you do? (Flyfishing or Gear, Crappie, Cat, Temperates) Or do you need it to be a versatile do-it-all kinda rig?

Fishinwrench what size motor and how much?

[Patrick M]

exiledguide i am cautious about craigs list and the condition of those boats. i worry how they are treated during their lifetime. were you looking for a john boat for springfield?

[fishinwrench]

I took it in on trade, the 50 Merc that was on it got put on a pontoon because the guys wife wears the pants.....so as of right now it is less outboard, but does have a MG 12v trolling motor that goes with it, Hummingbird LCR (that I assume works ok but cant swear to it), a trailer, and canvas trailering cover.

It's all in really great condition, just needs a 40-75hp outboard.

Beings as it's near the end of my season I probably won't be putting money out for a motor for it until next Spring....but I'd sell it as/is now and you can put a motor on it yourself if you wanna get into it at a bargain. Holler if interested and we can discuss it.

I have been a member over there for the past few years and I have gleaned tons of information. I am a dedicated jon boat fisherman when the water is too cold to float.
