Thank you for your kind words! Building and customizing things so that they are unique to me has always been one of my passions. I will most definitely look into the cutting down the trolling motor, that had never occurred to me before. These are awesome and fun boats no matter what you do with them, I’m glad your buddy was able to buy yours! Thank you for your support on the channel, I primarily do it as a way to help people with their own builds and projects! I’m glad you liked the alligator, it’s one of my favorite parts of the boat! Have a blessed day!

Nice truck..they last forever if we take care of them...2003 is still going well and looks pretty good.

@@williamcolson3765 absolutely! They’re built like tanks, easy to work on, parts are readily available, thousands of how to videos and tons of advice. That’s why I’m keeping mine and don’t mind dropping a couple of hundred bucks on it every so often. 2006 RCLB

I see, I’ll have to look into that. I’ll see how it does stock and if it’s an issue I may look into bags or add-a-leaf

No not at all. I’d say mine and the other guy you mentioned would classify as really, really, good deals (borderline steals). I had an ‘04 Colorado with 240k miles that I paid $4,250 for and sold for 5k. Paying 2.5k for own with 108k miles sounds like a heck of a deal to me.

Thank you!

It sure did. As long as its s short shaft and your transom is for a short shaft you should be good.

@@NC_outdoorsman nah she measures 17” and my long shaft motor is 19”. Gonna make an extension off the top of the transom and bring them to match each other

@@74nova36 I’d say a jack plate wouldn’t hurt anything but you should be fine. I’d research it a little more but I wouldn’t think any major issues would occur.

Thank you!

I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks!

My thought exactly!

I’ll have to look into that!

Will be posting on that soon!

I looked at those but sadly I couldn’t get ahold of one. They were either out of stock or on back order.

Yeah as long as your cables reach the battery then your good. I just extended my wires because I wanted the battery in the back for the time being.

How long does the battery last you while fishing?

@@moisesramirez7898 I don’t troll a whole lot but the battery has never gone dead on me and I’m consistently out for half a day or more.

Will do, I appreciate it 💯

At the time this video was made I had it straight piped, it did not have the second cat converter but still had the one just off of the manifold. In my county in Nc it isn't required that you have a cat, but it might be closer to the city's. The lift is 70-100 dollars on ebay, its just shackles and a tortion crank. Later on I did do a DIY body lift using hockey bucks that was about $65 and gave me a little over an inch more lift.

they are awesome trucks, and the amount of aftermarket/swapable parts is even better!

I sure did but it sounds like you did as well!

@@NC_outdoorsman I thought it was pretty average priced until I got on marketplace and saw what everyone was wanting for older chevys. Very happy with the truck and price

@@lordserpentine8246 it seems that they get more expensive every day.

Thats gonna look sick! Ive heard great things about the ball joint spacers.

The wooden casting deck was meant to be temporary but ended up doing very well. I’ll definitely look into aluminum in the future, especially since it is lightweight.

It should do fine especially if you don’t have tires or an exhaust that’s too loud.

Also I’m about to order another set of fog lights to match some new headlights they’re not perfect but you can have those for free probably can wire them up to an aftermarket switch

Heck yeah that would be awesome!

@@NC_outdoorsman bro I haven’t forgot about you. The dude I was buying the console on flaked and everyone else wants crazy numbers. Soon as I find one I got you still lol

@@Guero_c7 all good man!

For the trim you put the parking brake on and the shift it into 1st gear. Then the dash trim just pops off with clips.

@@NC_outdoorsman not the bezel. I’m referring to the trim ring piece around the stereo unit. Not the truck part

@@ernie0699 oh I see. The best I recall is that there are tabs that hold it on. You can bend those tabs and pop it right off.

@@NC_outdoorsmanwe ended up getting 2 different dash kits for the truck to see which one would the radio fit correctly on and we got it installed. Thanks for your helpful responses

@@ernie0699 of course! Glad it worked out!

It has some light service rusted here and there but otherwise it’s totally fine.

A shackle/tortion crank, but later on I added a 1” body lift as well.

Thank you!

The cv angles really aren’t that harsh. I’ll have to double check on the ball joints.

@@NC_outdoorsman awesome thanks man I really appreciate that! I know they make pucks that can lower the diff a bit. Let me know what you find on ball joints

@@TrailStyle of course! I’ll look at the ball joints and will get back to you on that.

I got the pucks and tortion keys separately on EBay.

Thank you! They are awesome trucks! They go for forever!

My 4.3L Silverado was a bear. Front end, rear diff, transmission all weak and replaced 1-2x but it got 17-20mpg and 4wd never was serviced even with hard use

@@workingcountry1776 these trucks are amazing, they last forever

Insurance is so funny about stuff, with these older vehicles I see trucks with minor bumper damage get totaled all the time.

I know it's crazy. I honestly expected them to total mine, but when I got the estimate, the fella at the body shop told me that to them it wasn't a real big job it was just an expensive one. He said that as long as the frame wasn't bent, they usually they won't total a vehicle. Great channel, BTW

@@ultimateicon2010 thank you! Glad that they didn’t total it!

I sure hope so!

I sure do still have it! With 2 people and all my gear it would push the boat at just under 6mph. That isn’t very fast but the boat did have a lot of weight in it between 2 people and all the gear.

Thank you! It’s been awesome to own! I’m sure you will enjoy yours!

🤟🤟

Thanks man!

Heck yeah man that’s awesome 😎

It does fairly well with jigs, however I don’t fish a lot of spinner baits so I can’t tell you much on them.

@@NC_outdoorsman thanks !!

It has the coil spacers in the rear, as far as wheel spacers no. Stock wheel position. This lift with 35’s would be questionable.

What do you mean by short circuit connection? My apologies but I’m not familiar with that term.

It’s a small connection on the positive terminal that runs from the motor to the battery, Minn kota doesn’t provide them in the box like Newport vessel does, I have the same set up but on a kayak and trying to stay fairly budget as well

@@killswitch7775 I see, my setup is as budget as I could go with it still being usable and efficient. It’s the trolling motor wires, then trolling motor extension wires I got on Amazon for 20$ and those are connected straight to the battery terminals. It doesn’t have a fuse or anything in between.
