Also for reference the core was totally gone. This is what they looked like inside apparently: A reminder that ANY time you drill into something with a wood core you need to seal it.

Got it back and it looks brand new inside! Its super solid now. Cannot wait to get it out and use it.

Bump

It looks like we have the same trailer. That roller is solid, a lighter weight one would be nice to have for sure.

Update. I dropped it off with PNW Fiberglass this weekend. Should be back in a few weeks. I'm excited to actually use it at some point. In the meantime I gave the trailer a once over. New hubs, bushings, new bunks, and paint. One coat of red oxide primer and two of matte black tractor paint...

Bump, dropping the price to $350

One Wholesale Sports (Fishcat re-branded). In good shape, no leaks, a little dirty. Always stored indoors. Frame repainted last year with a fresh coat of rust etching paint. Has a pole holder, a gear bag, fish tray, and pump. Picked up a driftboat and no longer need it. $320

Looking for some parts/gear in Washington (Western WA would be ideal). If anyone has upgraded and has some used stuff around that would be ideal. I'm trying to get my first boat setup for the Summer. NRS low back tractor seat One grey tempress/Clack seat (I have three white ones without the...

There are some evolutions in the hobby with FT8 seeming pretty popular right now so I think it will have a place for sure with people who are interested in radio and people who look to it as emergency comms. I think it does have a lot of competition with lower barriers of entry like GMRS. Where...

Thanks, I shot Performance Fiberglass an email yesterday asking about it as well. Reviews for them and PNW fiberglass are very positive. I'm debating doing it myself. I have to do some more reading on it, but seems like a good learning experience. I have a friend who is in to sailing and has...

Thanks guys. @SurfnFish, that other post was me as well. I planned on just epoxying it all, I actually bought all the stuff to do it tomorrow since it was going to be nice. But there's not really any wood left in there after probing around, so I think I would need something more substantial on...

Looking for some advice before I dive into some fiberglass work. Has anyone replaced the thwarts on an older Clackacraft? Looks like mine are rotted out. I was poking around at it today and hoping it would be a simpler job but I think my core is gone. I was hoping they had some wood left so I...

SurfnFish, thank you for the info that is super helpful! I'll take a look at getting some wood hardner in there and glass over the holes.

Bought a boat, so thats a start. 1982 Clackacraft. Overall in good shape. Looks like the sides where the benches mount/slide might need some work, they are a bit soft. But should be fun to learn on. Anyone have experience with older Clacks and replacing that section? The bench still feels solid...

Oh awesome. I found the 3 year quote over on iFish. Maybe the process has changed, so as @Billy noted maybe its for a title in doubt. Thanks everyone!

I keep finding the boat I am after (older Clack or Lavro, with an adjustable/movable rowing bench, and rear storage/bench) but in Oregon and not Washington. Since Oregon does not require trailers to be licensed I've been reading up on the subject and it sounds like a bit of a pain. Has anyone...

Also new, but welcome too. Pass lake seems like a good spot (I am also local-ish in Everett). There are a lot of thin blue lines to chase into the mountains here. Good luck out there!

Someone was tired of hanging out on the shore and wanted to practice as well.

I've been searching for a drift boat on and off for a few years and I think this Spring (hopefully) I am going to pull the trigger. Since its my first drifter I was trying to say in the more budget friendly range (sub $3k) and looking at older Lavros and Clackacrafts. However, the problem I've...

Depending on how much weight you are looking to carry with the rack Yakima and Thule both make mounts that will fit into a factory rack with towers. What is the vehicle you are putting them on? There are some creative options using 80/20 aluminum that give you a very modular setup.
