If I had seen this last week when I was in Clemson, I would have made the trip.

I have a 5" CMC manual jackplate on my short transom SeaArk 1542 with a long shaft Mercury 25. With the plate all the way up, it works just fine, putting the motor at the height of a short shaft. Edit: reread and saw you were going the other way. Not sure how that'll work

Another for Gold Dots

Someone took the liberty of taking a can of black spraypaint to my registration numbers and decals on the side of my boat/motor last week. Any leads on what I can use to get it off without stripping the decals and factory paint too?

I picked up a gunbox cheap from a fella at school. He duck hunts the coast and needed the floorspace for all the decoys he uses on the bigwater. I also got a sheet of hydroturf for $30 less than what it is from the factory. Another guy bought more than what he needed for his project. I'll get...

The vast majority of the time, people here don't field dress their deer before taking them to a processor. It would save $10-$15 on the bill, but I usually don't mess with it when I know I'm heading straight to the processor. As for making the most of my tin boat, that's for sure. That 1542 is...

School has kept me busy once again, but I still make time to get out on the water. Not much fishing, but I've hunted a little. I had seen a few teal before the season opened, but everyone and their brother was out opening weekend. We scouted every other day and finally found a group of 200 +-...

I don't want to mess around with screwing 2X4's together, so I'm going to get a bracket/platform made from aluminum. This is what I'm working with. I'm thinking about getting the fab shop to make a platform along the left side of the front deck flush with the top, just wide enough (4" or...

I'm not sure if Weldbilts have an accessory rail like War Eagles and Tritons, but I know Gator Trax or someone like that makes a grab bar that fits right in that groove. I'd go that route before I spent a bunch on something else or made something that takes up a lot of floor space.

Ours runs the month of September. There are plenty of residents that I have my eye on already

No push button safety does make it "easier" to get to shooting "if it comes down to it." I wouldn't be opposed to one though. The back safety on the XDs/XDMs is one more slight safety measure. I looked at Glocks and was close to picking one up (that 10mm might be in my future), but the grips on...

When I bass fished more a year or two ago, I had gotten to where I exclusively fished Ribbit Frogs (similar to a Horny Toad). I caught my biggest bass on artificials on a Mann's frog of some sort, but it didn't last long.

Just got done burning some powder with the new purchase. It ate everything I fed it without any problems. It seems pretty accurate, at least from what I can tell with my minimal handgun experience. I had no problem busting bottles at 15 yards

And picked up a new pistola. Springfield XDM in .45.

I love that layout. If I was going to get a new boat, I'd go for the same. 30 should pus you fine, but guys around here run 40s and 50s on 16 footers routinely. How heavy is the aluminum in that size Weldbilt?
