    Bow Rail from 1800CC for sale

    North fork of Long Island. It would be rude of me to try sell some thing on Huffinator18’s listing… Just wanted to post some pics so people could see the process if they are thinking about doing it. I will say I’m not sure how you could ship something like that. It’s very large and awkward...

    Bow Rail from 1800CC for sale

    I just took mine off a few weeks ago. Bit more work than I wanted but since I’m fly fishing out of the boat the rail was a real pain. Ended up having to do some glass work and then finish with gel coat…

    Engine cutting out at lower RPMS

    Hey all, Quick question engine related. First off I’m running a 2001 Yamaha 115 4 stroke on my 2001 1801. The boat is new to me. Don’t have a hard time cranking the motor over or holding an idle but it seems like when I kick it into gear either forward or reverse it often cuts out. This happens...

    Sound Dampening on Hatches

    Hey all, Anybody out there have any experience with some solutions and on how to reduce the noise when closing compartments on the 1801. They rattle when under way and when trying to be stealthy while fishing on a flat they make a whole lot of noise when closing. Mainly the 2 compartments aft...

    Non Skid Painting???

    Hey all! Quick post to see if anybody has any input on painting the non skid on my 1801. I was think about using Gelcoat and Soft Sand so that I'm sure the color will match the rest fo the boat. Anything else out there I should consider or be aware of before applying? Thanks in advance! Vince

    The 1801... the right fit for me?

    Thanks! Yup all up to date and have records that go back 10 years or so. The inspector went over everything and I have since had my mechanic winterize and check over everything as well. He runs the same motor on 2 of his boats and says it’s in great shape. I’ll be super anal with regular...

Compressions all at the 180 mark and got her up tp 5300 RPM and the sea trial with no sweat. The boat has a...

    The 1801... the right fit for me?

    I was looking at JB boats for over a year. Even chatted with Donny Jones ont he phone at length - down to earth good people. They really are amazing fly fishing boats and for that reason they barely come up for sale. I also just couldn't afford to pay 20K and still have a 20 year old 2 stroke...
