I bought this Mustang best for my daughter and it works well. It is comfortable and the front doesn’t ride up into her chin like we’ve experienced with other ones. It has the extra tall collar with the lifting strap and the strap that goes between the legs making it near impossible to slip off...

I've been browsing this forum for a better half of a decade now. I refinished an old 14' aluminum boat back in 2012, sold it and upgraded to this 16' Starcraft I have now. I enjoy looking through the posts on here and enjoy the friendly and helpful atmosphere. I mostly fish for muskie, tiger...

I feel it is well worth the $10. Yes it drains your battery quick but I mainly used it for location (sunken islands mainly) purposes before I got a fishfinder with GPS. Last year it saved my hide on the St. Lawrence River, even though its not for navigation it helped me get through the thousand...

Nice looking pup by the way- ours is a brindle too!

We have a 6-1/2 year old female boxer who has had very similar issues..... Itchy paws, ears, skin... you name it. Chronic ear infections which put her on steroids and antibiotics for the first two years of her life almost constantly. After thousands of dollars spent at the vet, we have her...

I did the steelflex first and am doing my aluminum framing now. I am tossed on what I should do, I have some angle that I need to attach to the side but don't want to drill and have to put more steelflex on. In the end I will just have to mix up a batch of steelflex and do all my touchups at...

I have a 50 hp on my 14' and I thoroughly enjoy it, I am pretty sure it is about double what should be on there but I have beefed up the transom and drive carefully. The initial weight isn't too bad but add 12 gallons of gas and a couple people it will start to get pretty heavy. As far as the...

For safety= bilge pump. For fishing= depth finder.

I would not suggest the Aircraft Spruce site, the shipping for mine was more than the hinges themselves.

I just did my steelflex yesterday and I feel it turned out well. I plan on doing a some sort of write up/ walkthrough because I took pics as I was doing it bbut we will see if I get to it. My biggest piece of advice.....use squeegees to spread it around on your boat, it works 1000 times better...

I just got similar stuff from harbor freight to fill in some holes from bolts that I removed. As said previously, there is a lot of grinding involved to clean up the area it was applied. Since I am going to be using steelflex I have decided to just fill the holes with rivets. The area I heated...

I plan on most likely using rivets to fill holes and doing steel flex over them. I was thinking of using this stuff to maybe make some framing where it wouldn't be so important (compartments that wouldn't be hard to redo if it did go bad). I might give it a try to see how it goes, I plan on...

Would Alumaloy be the same as this? https://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-8-alumiweld-aluminum-welding-rods-44810.html Seems like it might be cheaper and accessible locally....

I have the same motor, did you add a tell-tail to yours so it pees? I added one to mine....thankfully.....at the end of that season mine stopped peeing. I ended up replacing rthe impeller and the thermostat and it peed pretty good again. Now (season and a half later) it doesn't seem to pee as...

Ahhhh...this setup stuff is driving me crazy too.... I have a 14' boat (with extra supports)....fairly lightweight with a great running 50hp on it and the most I have seen out of it is 24 mph. I replaced the transom and set the motor higher as the cavitation plate was about 6" lower than the...
