I've been out the last four days in a rown killing more than my little boat can even haul. Last night I filled it up so heavy that the bow was scooping water my whole two mile ride back to the dock. I've been shooting where the creeks dump into the snake river. The spawn is on right now in...
Ok I found the solution....traded it for a trailer. Then my father in law gave me an older johnnyrude 9.5 runs great after a little tinkering. I will take my gps tomorrow and let you guys know if it was an improvement or not. I just got 15 mph outta the 7.5 in chop against 15 mph winds....she...
You are on the right track. I used brush on rustoleum and the hardener you are speaking of....hardens much quicker. Rustoleum is notorious for taking forever to harden...but eventually it does and works out well. You cannot add hardener to the petit easypoxy. The epoxy has its own...
Holy crap I did my same boat as yours the same color as yours. Gloss sail blue? I did my interior almond though. I decked mine similar.....tons of aluminum and signs.....tons of time. Pm me and I'll email ya some pictures....I can't post from my phone.
If you have slow micro leaks....steelflex is the way to go. If not rustoleum works ok if you add a hardener. You can get the hardener at most implement stores. If not using hardener it takes soooooooo much longer to harden. But once hardened it is fairly durable.....and incredibly cheap. As...
Great post...I wish my daughter would do that. She used to love it but the last few trips produced nothing but windburn and that has ruined it for her. Was she stoked about her first northern? I know I was....I compare it to my first elk.
I personally would never spend the extra money on marine grade since even the marine grade should be waterproofed anyway. I use regular A/C plywood and then waterproof with thinned polyester resin (fiberglass resin), thinned with acetone.
I wacky rig senkos....carolina or texas for worms grubs or tubes. For walleye I use a jighead. I'm gonna try the football jigheads this year. I don't use the plastic frogs....gonna try that this hear too. I'm slaying with the wacky rigged senkos though...no weight just hook and...
I got a nice pair of coil over shocks at napa auto parts......as for the hubs...if you have a pacific steel & recycling in your area they are only $15 a peice minus bearings which walmary has for a couple bucks.
Yeah maybe a touch narrower and a bit shorter. The foam was a great idea. I've got tons of it...I think I'll start mocking up some ideas. Thanks for the idea!
How do you like the pflueger patriarch? Is that the awesome looking carbon fiber badboy? If so I was lookin at one the other day and was so close to buying one I could hear my chic yellin from home. $180 @ sportsmans warehouse in Idaho. Gonna start saving.
If you are wanting to take the family out I would personally go with the 16'. Besides if you get a 14' you will soon want that extra two foot....always happens. Rarely do you ever hear of anyone wanting a boat a little smaller....unless they go alone more often than not. As far as versatility...
