    My 14 year old

    Well I guess he is a natural. I let him go out tonight with a boy in the neighborhood. First time with no adult supervision. He nailed a nice one. Another center punch. He was so pumped up. He and I went out last night and he hit one but it didn't stick. We are supposed to get 5 inches of rain...

    Tongue & Groove Aluminum Flooring

    Well, I can get it and cut pieces to length and ship it. I hav'nt put a lot of thought into it but it should be easy enough. The floor in the pic took 17 pcs cut to 55 inches. It would be pretty easy to cut, bundle and ship. I bet the shipping would be pricey. I have tons of scrap pieces if...

    Tongue & Groove Aluminum Flooring

    The die for the extrusion was manufactured and patented by my buddy, I don't think it can be bought anywhere but I may be wrong, somebody somewhere may be producing something similar. If I get enough interest I may place a 1000lb order for it, that is the extruders minimum they will run. As far...

    Tongue & Groove Aluminum Flooring

    I wanted to show you guys an option to consider for your next flooring project. It comes in 5 inch wide pieces. It interlocks and has a good surface texture. The little vertical ridges make it super strong. I like it because I do not have to use near as much support structure as sheeting. Take a...

    My 14 year old

    We got out tonight, saw just a few small ones, he took a few shots at swirls and such until I got him to calm down and wait for his shot. He missed a small one and we were about to call it a night. We made one last pass on some flats and were moving slow and a gar swam by. First fish with...

    Outboard problems

    I am definitely NOT an educated person on old motors but I would think a motor that old would have a shear pin. If it does and it is slipping under power you may have a stripped out drive shaft spline or a lower unit bearing that has given up causing the the prop drive shaft to slip on a gear...

Within five minutes a gar came cruising, he...

    My 14 year old

    Its a compound bow. I have always taught him " Aim small miss small" when shooting guns. He didn't get it at first but does now. I guess it's just how much he practices. I never stuck with anything like that when I was a kid. He wants to join the archery team at his high school next year. Dad's...

    My 14 year old

    My Boy has been bitten hard by the Bowfishing bug. I bought him a beginner youth compound bow (25lb) last Christmas and he has gotten really good with it. We went to Bass pro last week and got a Cajun bow rig with 50lb draw. I am not a bowhunter, never have been, he has no real instruction...

    raised platforms

    I built this monstrosity on a 2072 F&F. It has a recessed area under the floor for lights and a inside battery storage area for 6 batteries. The pusher fan is powered off a 20 hp honda with remote control steering. It has an 18 inch knee rail for bracing yourself to shoot.

    Pods added to transom?

    I agree, just because someone is cheaper does not mean they do poor work. At the same time just because someone charges a lot surely does not mean they are better. I remember when I was sixteen I hit a tree in my 16 footer, It left me with a fourteen inch long crack where the floor meets the...
