    what a weekend

    Well, this last weekend I finally got my family moved out of the little appartment that we moved into when I started school here. I just didnt realize the junk that can be aquired in such a short time (all my wifes). But the nice thing is we have a BIG yard for my 2 girls to run around in and...

When we called the cops to come and take a look he was asking the standard questions, what kind, how much was it worth, ect. He...

    Any SkyDivers on here?

    I'm a land boy, but we have the Perrine bridge here that is a base jumpers paradise. I hang out in the boat under the bridge and watch them jump. Pretty cool stuff, but not for me [-X

    Can I Change the Water Pump?

    When I replaced mine the gaskets and ring was in great shape so I just reused it. Look it over carefull and use your best judgment on if it needs replaced.

    When was the last time..........

    I was just finishing laying the sub-floor on a house with a walk out basement. The floor joists on the back were left long to cut back later for the bay that was to overlook the walk out section. I was sick as a dog, and very dizy because of it. I went to cut back the floor joists for the bay...

    hello everyone Newb here. Needs ideas!!!

    If you take them out you will not have the support at the top that you need. you will be suprised how much they support. When you deck cut them free from the seat and attach the deck. Then re-attach the supports. One way to get rid of them would be to make a new support for the gunnels...

    Should I bolt My Motor On?

    I went ahead and bolted mine on. It was more to keep the honest people honest. But it was fine before it was bolted.

    Making some extra cash?

    for as slow as the building industry is, it is still possible to find some work in it even though not full time work. Contractors here are more likley to bring someone on for a few hours a week just do general work. I do the same thing because there not much work. I was laid off last dec from...

    Your thoughts on catching spawners...

    Over here in Idaho most of the fishery managers are not for the non-native species of fish including bass. There arent many areas accross the state that open and close seasons according to the spawning activities. Trout on the other hand are top priority. We do have some great areas here for...

    How to study

    Most of the bodys of water that I fish over here in Idaho are man reservoirs. When I decide on a body of water to focus on the first thing I look for are old photos of the construction of the dam. In those photos I can see what the landscape was prior to flooding it. This was the best thing that...

    Getting there

    The cooler up front was used as the livewell by the last owner. I filled it with water and motored around and decided that wont work, just too much weight up front. with that said, I'm limited for space in the back by the time I mount seat pedistals. But thanks for the idea on the cooler. A cut...

    Getting there

    I cut my batteries into the seat from the left storage compartment. This helped to level me out as I am motoring around to the fishing holes. I didnt realize when I was putting everything together that my TM, console, and me would be on the same side of the boat as I was driving. It made it a...
