I have a 20 ft pontoon on a 300 acre lake.  I need a new motor big enough for a raft.  How do I go about this?

Have them start it up , listen to the engine. Look under the motor housing to see how clean it is. Look for any build up of oil anywhere on the outside of case. The most important thing that will tell you if it was ran hard and beat up is the condition of the prop.If you are trying to figure out size then just look up what it the boat is rated for, and check out similar boats with smaller or bigger motors.

I would search online for a New board for your specific gun. It will increase your speed by a good amount.

The trolling motors vary in size, price, etc.  Some are just plain with not much options on them. Some have foot controls that way your hands are free for fishing.  The lowest price Ive seen is right around $100.00 clear up to $500.00 or maybe higher.  Just shop around and just start asking questions to the sales person.. Also look at the pound of thrust it has too. That makes alot of difference  when you are trolling too.  Usually the trolling motors are the Minn-Dakotas. There might be some other brands out there too.  Good luck.

In high school I made a paper-mache canoe. I even floated in it, inside the pool. They almost killed the teacher for that - didn't touch me. I got into my projects.\nA self propelled boat = make a lightweight boat out of balsa wood. Build a paddlewheel and wind it up with a rubber band, so that when you release it, it will go a little way.

Start by looking for a lake!

A raft ferry. You string a rope between the island and the mainland. Attach a raft to it. As a raft isn't technically a boat when you pole, pull or paddle the raft to the island with the tractor on it you don't break the set rules. No boat, bridge or air transportation. As the tractor is being rafted over intact it won't be built on the island.

Go to Walmart....Buy 4 or 5 of those strofoam tubes that kids play with at pools and beaches. They are hollow on the inside. Cut down the middle lieght ways and place the tubs around the edges of you kayak. Turn kayak upside down on the roof and secure it.

A company called Concept2 makes a great rowing machine.  Here's a link to their site:\n\nhttp://www.concept2.com/05/default.asp?bhcp=1\n\nAlthough it's not the cheapest on the market it is one of the best and if you look around you can pick up a used one at a very reasonable price.  You might want to try searching Craigslist and see if they have one near you or even the local classifieds.

1. Obtain four clean 55-gallon barrels, 20 feet of rope, several boards, 40 pounds of beef jerky\n\n2. Fill barrels 1/3d full with fresh water.\n\n3. Lash boards to barrels to make raft, saving one wide board\n\n4. Take assembly to ocean\n\n5. Place raft in water\n\n6. Use wide board as paddle and go out a few miles\n\n7. Wait for current to carry you to America

This is strictly a question for an experienced rigging contractor. There is a lot more to the question than just what cranes you are using. \n\nI have been involved in the lifting of many large vessels up to 150 foot in length and over 600,000 lbs. If you have to ask questions like the above, you have no business even involved in such a project. There are many contractors who are experienced in doing the kind of work you are asking about. \n\nI would not undertake such a job without some very experienced folks taking the lead.

I don't know what you are bringing on your visit. Some places would require a boat. A good place is just south of muncie off st rd 3 toward new castle. A lake called summit lake. there is plenty of places for bank fishing as when as a ramp. This is idle speed only. at the same exit as summit there is a small state owned property called province pond. Its a little growed up for bank fishing but a small ramp for small boats. This is trolling motors only. East of muncie is prairie creek resevour, bigger lake with unlimited speed.

Invest in some new bearings.. they will last you a while, and it will make it easier to maintain speed.If you have some extra cash, try bones swiss.expensive as heck, but worth every cent!!

A crank works with leverage, in general, like a can opener. For the rest of the question, find yourself an electric motor, put some kind of handle on it, get some wire, and a flashlight bulb and hook it all up some how, forget the sand.

A  ATV SHOP OR A SKI LODGE WOULD BE MY BEST BET
