I am in Sebring. about 100 miles from you. I didn't know people killed hogs. We just turn the dogs loose and then go drag what they killed back to the truck to dress it. Free meat for cookin' Never though of it as hunting or a sport at all. The dogs eat the ears and testicles usually. They...

Back on the rotten wood there was an aluminum plate. I took it in the house to clean it. I can read nothing. just a plain piece of aluminum with 001195 stamped in it. Yes, boat is twisted. It blew away and sailed through the air in three hurricanes. They are not made to do that. I cannot...

I like it all. But on the headlight I would use 12 gauge and a $5 dollar Bosch relay. Wire relay to lights. Battery to relay with a 20 amp fuse. And the light switch to relay can be 14 to 16 gauge. Lights are brighter, and less console and switch problems using relay and lights right off the...

I am Chris too. Went with a friend to many stores today. He was buying electrical stuff. I asked about rivets. Was told nobody in the middle of Florida has solid aluminum rivets. One guy worked on airplanes years ago and might have some. Didn't know it was so hard to find rivets.

I am in the middle of Florida. I have an aluminum v hull a friend gave me. Missing a couple rivets. 13'6" long 4' wide. I have no idea who made it. Aluminum plate has nothing legible besides the 001195 stamped number. I have to wait until school starts back to play with it. Summer chores...
