There have been a number of posts on both these topics over the past couple months. I want to use plywood to cover aft and middle bench seats. It seems to me that riv nuts would be a good way to afix the wood. I know lots of you wonder at putting wood on bench seats, and here is my reasoning...

Should I sand the blasted surfaces before painting? I like the feel of the blasting. Wonder how it would take paint. What do you think?

Spending a few days on the Steed River just inside the fresh water-salt water line. What fish should I expect to get? Need to know what tackle and bait or lures to use. Thanks in advance.

I'm working on putting my 12-ft Polar Kraft flat bottom back together for painting. I have some really irregularly-shaped and irregularly-sized holes to contend with at the aft end and on the bottom for the transom brace. I am putting spar urethane on a newly laminated transom, it's not yet...

I've gotten loads of helpful information from this list. One thing I especially like is that there is no flaming from folks who already know how to do things. I removed the transom brace that had been floating in sealant. Also removed the homemade aluminum jack plate on the inside of the...

I hope you folks can help me out. I have a 1968 Polar Kraft 12 ft jon. PO had installed two boat seats. One had been removed when I got the boat. Looks as though it was simply ripped up from the back bench seat, leaving holes only the size of the bolts. I want to remove the other seat. I...

Can anyone tell me if my boat is a Polar Kraft? I posted pics on the Polar Kraft forum and received encouragement but no substantive help. The PO registered it as a 1968 14 ft Polar Kraft. Since the boat is really only 12 ft, I have some concerns. If there is an HID plate, it is behind the...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I don't see a ways to search it. My relatively new reel has a couple of problems that a good cleaning might fix. One problem is the bail doesn't close when I turn the reel handle. I have to close the bail manually. The other problem is that the reel feels and...
