Boat is ready for the water. New transom, new paint, new trailer, new motor (Mercury four stroke 9.9hp), new Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 DI (I know I know, but I like Lowrance. What can I say).
My Walleye/ Striper Trolling Rig.

Looks good sir!! Why don't you hook the winch strap to the handle??? It should be below the bow stop...

I was actually wondering about that. Looks like as is, it wouldn't take much to jump that roller.

Hey @Lt.Dan , is that a 3gal fuel tank! If so, what is the footprint.... dimensions?
I'm wanting a 3gal for mine, but what I found has same dimensions as the 6gal...just not as tall.
Thanks

The boat didn't set at the right height and it caused interference with the trailer jack. So I added an eye hook and have it locked in between the handle and eye hook. I also added a piece of angle behind the eye so I can winch it tight. The angle goes the width of the bow. Plus the strap hook didn't fit through the handle. I see both of you guys thought/ concern. I am going to add a piece of trailer safety chain to the strap bracket and then hook it to the handle. Good catch, thanks.

I see the numbers, but not the sticker with the year in it...
Oh, still waiting on them to come in the mailI see the numbers, but not the sticker with the year in it...
I am fixing to go get the measurements of the gas tank for you. It is a 3.2 gallon
@Tenntrapper it's approximately 14"L x 10"W x 9"H

Thank you.
Does it have a brand on it? Something to give me a way to search for one?
Quicksilver came with the Mercury outboard

Guess if I change the fitting, it should work with a Yamaha....maybe??
If you get a tie down for the bow I don't think you'd have an issue.. run a chain aft the winch post with a turnbuckle to lock down the bow..
It should
