Follow up: Boat has been working great pods were the best add-on by far. have exceeded my expectations in so many ways. This thing has been a fish slaying machine! Probably broke the 500 fish mark with a mixed bag of puppy drum, specs, flounder, croaker, rockfish, and perch.

Thanks guys... still adding a few more touches to it but pretty happy all and all. Now i am designing a setup to use a set of spreader lights i took off my big boat and making a removable bracket for the bow. I want to be able to plug them into the trolling motor plug and try my luck at gigging...

So got out on the first fishing mission and managed to catch 4 rockfish from 16 to 22 inches fishing the lights last night. boat is a million times easier to fish now.

Sio finally got some nice weather and getting the project wrapped up. most work was done at night so not many pictures of the progress but here she is.... gonna be a flats fishing/ duck slaying machine. took it out today and she handles wake a whole lot better and the pods make a world of...

So just got off the phone with fasco... for future reference they will bond to each other with no problem. The regular steelflex is thinner so by combining them, tit will make the super slick a thinner mixture. I personally am going to do a light base coat of regular steel flex and then once it...

Hey redoing the bottom on a 1648 duracraft and have 2 quarts of superslick steelflex and 2 quarts of regular steelflex. Anyone know id I put a base layer of the regular, if the super slick would stick on a second coat?

ive used both lowrance and hummins for mostly salt and a little fresh up here in the Chesapeake. I will tell you I personally like the humminbird ALOT more. Make sure to get the new HD version or it was too dimly lit on sunny day in my opinion. I personally feel that for the range and...

one of the sweetest looking builds on here in my opinion... can't wait to see it when the insde is done. Gonna be one bad motha.....

Question if i have a couple small spots on the bottom of the jon boat jon boat that have pin holes from abuse and oxidization would a good course of attack be sanding well, marine-texing, and laying a thin 2"x2" patch by way of aluminum can over area, and then another skim layer of marine-tex...
