    New Trail/Game Camera Advice

    1981 Alumacraft F-14 Rebuild

    Thank you, sir. I do appreciate the kind words. I am caught up in trail cams, hanging stands, getting ready for the Friday bow season opener, and wrestling open gym with my athletes 2 days a week. With the heat and humidity, I don't like working in my garage!!!! 90-95 degrees and 60-80%...

    I just thought I would post these. I am bow hunting for the first time in YEARS, so excited is a bit of an understatement. This was my first cam check. I will be back out tomorrow to check again.

    1981 Alumacraft F-14 Rebuild

    Got all metal cut for my pods. I am banging away, bending my radius on the right side pod. Not fun. Should have got thinner sheet. This is the front view. The over hang is what I left on for the bend. Top view. It's not lined up real well, because tape doesn't hold sheet very...

    1981 Alumacraft F-14 Rebuild

    Bit by bit. First float pod layout. WRONG!! Measure twice, cut once!!! Thanks for that tidbit, boys!!! Second float pod layout, BINGO!!! Correct float pod mock up. Just have to cut out bottoms, and form my radius. I'll post pics of that process. On a side note, I used some $10...

    197? 12ft Starcraft I think

    Some guys have posted transom extension plans for jet motors that sit too low. If I run across one, I'll post the link. Just sitting here without thinking about it too much, what you described is close to what they did.

    Any ideas on how to form a radius on sheet aluminium for my float pods? I have some ideas, but this certainly isn't my forte, so suggestions are much appreciated. Here is the radius I have to form.

    1981 Alumacraft F-14 Rebuild

    Got some odds and ends done, floor Tuff-Coated, , some transom supports built, etc. struggled with transom mock up. I put it together a couple times, and was reminded of some things I forgot here and there, so apart it comes again. I need to get it right, cause once the 5200 is on there...

    Another question. Any idea why my motor would be turning over so slow? https://youtu.be/jRqlUwSUoE4 It fired up right before this and I shut it off, because it was shooting water all over my garage. That's why I'm laughing in the video. PLEASE PLEASE!! Ideas are needed. The motor is a...
