aluminum brush guard
I have a hamatt boat(may be misspelled) that I would like to put a brush guard on but don't have experience to build one so wondered if anyone had one that might fit that wouldn't hit the pocketbook too hard like the manufactures.

Re: New bottom paint thread
I have a 16 ft. hamant aluminum boat that I have been checking for two years trying to find something I would be comfortable with putting on the bottom without going to poly so keep us informed about this stuff.

Re: Gear Box or Not
I didn't think a 12 Ft fiberglass with 2 seats was considered a barge but then what do I know and that's why I'm asking questions. I do see where the aircraft engine would make a difference , in probably weight and hp.SWAMPHUNTER45 wrote:Old timers didnt run barges...lol
