Here she is. Can sure do a heck of a lot with this little boat... lake, river, cats, eyes, muskies, trolling, casting, anchoring. smile

Been a good bang for the buck after all the customization.

Here is my river rig I just picked up Saturday. Been out with it twice now and I love it. Has a Sea Doo jet ski motor and jet drive mounted in it. I was going to build one myself but at the price I got it for, I could not even buy all the parts and pieces.

Ive seen two alumacraft fisherman boats on this thread and I would love to have one. Ive already got a 20 hp motor just need the boat and trailer. How do you guys like the boat?

I really like mine. it has a smooth ride. it will get up and go. I prefered the side console over a tiller model. since you have a 20HP you would want to stick to the tiller model of the fisherman. If you were to go to a side console then you would want to go with a 40HP. A 20 or 25 HP on a side console would bog down with more than one person in the boat(by yourself you may be okay). this is what the dealer told me. plus the price difference was less than $1000.00 between the 25HP on the original package and the upgrade to the 40HP that I went with.

Hey I live in Monticello also. I would love to see your rig in person sometime if you are ever at one of the river accesses around Monticello let me know maybe we could meet up. I normally fish out at montissippi but have fished ellison park also. email me at the address in my signature line and maybe we could set something up.

i love my alumacraft! i chose the tiller because, i troll often for walleyes. i also get more room in the boat for gear or more people. one of my favorite features is how the boat drifts...all i have to do is turn the boat to whichever side i want to jig on, and the boat will kick 90 degrees from the wind and stay at that angle...really cool. i like my Yamaha, but would prefer an Evinrude e-tec 25hp. the trolling motor is incredible...very quiet and plenty powerful.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
