I have one in similar condition. Did you just clean, or replace the carpet/flooring?

I replaced all the wood and carpet even on the aluminum pieces and it is a real job scraping all the old carpet and glue off trust me, I did have a bit of a problem which was getting the carpet from the manufacturer which took a few months then they sent me too little so I had to order more so if you do it try to find a suitable carpet locally IMO !!

Post by: quadrafire on March 27, 2013, 10:02:05 AM: :tup: thanks for the info.
I am tempted to remove the carpet and just put the floor covering over it all. Then can just power wash it and be done.

Yeah I will regret it to a point but I plan on using it for what he did one last time then sell both my boats and get one I can fish most anywhere with so I think of it as a stepping stone of sorts !!

Post by: Mfowl on March 28, 2013, 10:09:38 AM: I hear ya! I fish my boat on the Sound all summer but I sure wish I could take it out in The straits/ocean. Someday I 'll upgrade as well.

Post by: Jburke on March 28, 2013, 10:29:06 AM: What length is it and how much are you going to try to sell it for? I'm interested in upgrading soon

It's a 2002 1750 FishHawk, the motor is an 02 80hp 4stroke Yamaha. There is a bow mounted electric motor as well as a couple winches for anchors that I didn't reinstall that will go with it, and I don't know what to ask for it . :dunno:

Post by: Skillet on March 28, 2013, 03:05:53 PM: Nice boat, Robo - let me know when you want to go and I might be able to meet you in my boat over at Banks, Rufus, Potholes, etc. to give some eater-sized 'eyes a hickory haircut. :tup:

Sounds like a plan, let me know when the bite is on, guess we can keep a bunch now eh ?

Post by: Skillet on March 28, 2013, 04:22:39 PM: Ha, yeah, I might have seen a thread on that around here somewhere. I don't do much mainstem Columbia River fishing for 'eyes, though. Mid-April typically has Potholes and Moses just starting to turn on in the shallows. That's a lot of fun. Also, a lot of fish are caught on the north end of Banks during that time.

I'll be coming over that way round the 13th of April to do some turkey hunting with a friend, perhaps I can bring my boat and after we bag the gobblers put a stack of walleyes on the boat before we come back home !!
