    Restore

    All the wood in my duck boat was primed with 3 or 4 coats of Kilz and then has restore on the top side. I used marine grade plywood as well. After countless duck hunts and countless fishing trips it's still holding up. My floor and decks are constantly being jumped onto by wet dogs, stomped...

    Anchor tie off and running lights.

    If I were doing that then I would just tie the extra line in a loose knot on the bow eye itself.

    Feeding wire through tubing

    Figured id share that I finally got the wire through. I taped a coat hanger to an old extension cord, fed it in, lifted the trailer vertical, fed it down, and then used it to get the light wiring through. **** that was some work.

    Feeding wire through tubing

    I know that this should go in the trailer section, but I figured I'd get more responses here. I have a trailer made completely out of tubing. It didn't have any wiring in it when I got it, and now I'm facing the issue of feeding wire through. I've tried everything, but it seems like there's...

    What size anchor

    I use a 12 pound anchor on my 1860 Sea Ark and it'll hold me in 20+ mile an hour winds. It's all about getting it to hold on the bottom.
