Does anyone know a good resource to find the Hull weights of different boats? I am looking at going back to a smaller jet so I can access the upper stretches of the rivers I fish along with still being able to fish when water levels are low in late summer. I am trying to figure out how much...

I literally just had to use this stuff earlier in the summer. Caught a rock I didn't see trying to run a shallow rifle. The stuff works well. Got me home without a problem. On my very first jet, the boat was a piece of junk and needed retired but didn't have the funds. The bottom of my boat...

https://www.budsmotorsports.com/marine-carpet This is some new guy close to my hometown. Don't know anything about him but I heard his ad on the radio and was considering putting the vinyl floor on the deck of my boat. Don't know how the prices compare but its convenient for me because its...

Make sure you make wide turns to keep constant tension on the rope. Just watch your speed because this can create like a pendulum effect and the tube can increase speed and sling up next to the boat. Its really fun if the riders are wanting you to do this. If you make too tight of a turn and you...

I don't know if any of you guys do this but I usually keep a tube of "WaterWeld" or "Steelstick" (made by JBWeld) in my boat in case I knock a hole in it. Well...This weekend I did it. I couldn't see a sharp pointy rock that was just under the water and I punched a good hole just in front of my...

My previous boat was a 1644 flat bottom Alweld. I have fished it with two people on the deck and one on the rear deck and have had no problems with stability. I also fish gigged with the same boat and have had two large guys hanging over a rail on the front and never felt like it was unstable...

Mine is comfortable to wear. I admit, I only wear it though when I'm on plane. I don't keep it on when fishing. A bit of advice, if you keep it in the back seat of your truck don't let your kids get to it. "Hey daddy what's this?" DON'T PULL TH...." "POOF"

I think that's the problem most people get into when they have arguments about evolution. They don't specifically site which issue they have with evolution. They just blanket all evolution as bad or doesn't exist. You can't deny evolution. Its real. The visible changes can be clearly observed on...

I do like Al Lindner's shows. They aren't too bad compared to some of the shows that are out there. Just curious I don't want to start any kind of argument but are ya'll referring to Macro Evolution where we evolved from apes or Micro Evolution where changes occur from one generation to another?

That is insane! I would love to try one of those on my rivers...but not to that extreme.

Lowe boats started in the early 1970's by Carl and Dianna Lowe. Prior to that the company was known as Applebee boats which was started by Dianna's father JB Applebee. Carl and Dianna's children sold the company to the Brunswick Corp in the early 2000's I believe. The boats have always been made...

Yeah I'm about 11 miles from the Bennett Spring State Park.

The Lowes are built tough and are great boats. My dad still uses his 1976 Lowe paddle jon that he use to guide out of in the early 80's. The new Lowe big rivers are heavier than an Alweld or Blazer though. I was very close to buying a 1755 Lowe when I bought mine but it came down to overall...

How well would this work to use as a floor in a boat? and What thickness would you recommend?
