Didn't see the Ouachita sticker I am doing a transome rebuild and have posted the OUACHITA art here. I could'nt find it anywhere so I had to make my own. It's fairly close and would make a good decal with a little more modern look.Good work on the boat. Got any Idea of the model or the name of the model of mine posted?
Hey Tim
I don't know the year and model but a friend just yesterday dropped off a boat given to him and it looks similar to yours. I'll post pictures soon.
Tim, I think your boat may be a riverhawk. You may want to start your own thread to get people to respond better to your questions about your boat.
Nice job Jeff. With the stereo and speakers...all that is missing is the LCD Flat screen.
Nice job on the carpeting and deck...that really cleaned that up and tucked it up nicely.
You should be proud of it. Next time I will just send my project your way...and take "notes"
nice work . .I am impressed with your usage of a variety of fabrics versus buying cloth . .makes sense . .just haven't seen it. Cool boat!
I have been reburbishing my Ouachita 15 ft fiberglass over the winter. It is a nasty green color, but after 3 going overs with rubbing compound, she at least shines a little.
3 seats, steering console, and 36 hp Chrsler makes it a pretty comfortable boat to fish from.
I have enjoyed the procect thus far.
do you have any problems with ur amp for the sub wearing the battery out to soon? What size amp are you running? I have the exact same boat that we are restoring and was wanting to put a radio in it and would also like to put a sub in but i thought it would wear the batteries down to quick.
Jeff I have a couple pics of our boat that i would like to show you but im having a hard time trying to upload them any suggestions?

I am too good for nothing
I owned a Spirit when they came out. It was white with silver metalflake cap and silver grey carpet. When new they had a long flag/banner looking emblem painted on the side symbolic of the 200 year anniversary off 1776. Most of my buddies had Rangers and they were faster than me but mine was built like a tank and it was a safe boat. If you are interested I'll try to find any old pictures I can find.
Those of you with pics, please post them. There is a tutorial thread here at BBC that explains how. Just search for "Posting Pictures".
I found this 1975 Quachita on Kansas City Craiglist http://kansascity.craigslist.o....html
Man that boat brings back some memories!!!!!!
I have not posted in a while. I have been FISHING! I have used my beloved Ouachita for almost a solid year. I have really enjoyed it. I have also been given some compliments on how it looks. I have caught many fish from it, and I hope many more.
JRD15 - I have not had problems with battery drainage from my sub. The sub is a 10" bazooka with a modest built-in amp. The rear speakers are 6" and the fronts are 4". I hope that helps you.
Thanks to everyone who looked at or posted here! Tight Lines!
How do I isert a picture here, I have a Quachita boat
Hey Jeff!!! I own the same boat! It's cool to see another one... You must see mine. <br /><br />

I just saw that video! Your boat looks SWEET! I liked the driving sequence. I understand.
I just bought the exact same boat! Mine is silver with a Johnson Javelin 85! I will be posting pictures as soon as I learn how- I am a new member.
Cheers!
