Beautiful boat! Need to get mine started again. Its been sitting for the past 3 years. :LOL2: I have everything for it Just got to get to work so I wont be stuck on the bank this spring. I even got a newer trolling motor for it. My uncle decided to upgrade to a Fortrex 36v so I bought his old...

Hit the nail right on the head. These reels can have these retaining clips it depends on whether or not it has a bearing in the palming side plate or spool tensioning knob. Lots of parts interchange between different models of 4500/4600 reels. I'm currently working on a 7 bearing conversion of...

Due to the rain this year & my work schedule my yard/pasture has become an overgrown nightmare. My craftsman 33cc trimmer/brush cutter is just not up to the task of cutting through the thick vegetation, small mesquite, & black locusts thorn trees. I've been looking at getting either a Stihl FS...

7ft Med hvy to hvy Ugly stick ( $30-$45 ) and a Used Abu Garcia made in Sweden Round Reel. I suggest the 5000 - 6500 size preferably with a clicker. As far as getting a used reel goes I like pawn shops ; never truly know what there going to have in stock, plus you can look over the reel before...

Excellent little reels for the price. If you have any local tackle shops that are Abu dealers give them a call to see if they get any of the factory reconditioned reels in. My local tackle shop/Abu dealer does this. He gets in several hundred reels in every winter/spring to resale at discount...

I originally used a plastic air conditioning pad as a front casting deck on my 14ft v hull, I just had it screwed into the front bench & front step down from the bow. It worked great but I decided to ditch it as I did not have a place to mount my 2nd battery for my new 24volt trolling motor.

Went bass fishing with my dad Saturday afternoon. At our first spot I noticed a large slip float bobbing up & down. I thought this was strange since there were no lines out on any of the piers nearby so I decided to snag it & pull in along with any long pieces of mono attached. To my surprise at...

They get quite bigger than most people think. The largest I ever caught was one about 1.5lbs in the cast net. After showing it to may dad he recalled memories of when he was a kid they use to seine them in the Brazos behind Lake Whitney with some weighing up to 3 lbs :shock: . Talk about great...

Great progress!!! Our boats almost match now. :LOL2: Mines blue on the bottom & white on top. Now I just need to find my camera to give yall an update.

Nearly the same thing happened to my dad & his fishing partner during a local club tournament back in the early 90's on Richland Chambers lake. The lake at this point in time was only a few years old ( Still grapevines, briars, & snakes in the tree's ). They were fishing in a heavily timbered...

Yea!!! I live about a mile from Richland Chambers lake & we went from almost 13.5ft low to just about 6.5ft low. We can at least launch our boats now!!! But we still need a lot more rain to fill everything back up to normal. [-o< [-o< [-o<

It's a great little motor. I do think the gear cases ( lower units ) are a little weak. I had to get mine rebuilt after finding the one solid laydown in a known running lane during low water. :evil: This is a rubber core prop & it didn't even put a scratch on it but I was going close to half...

I have a 4hp Tohatsu with the internal tank. The internal tank has given me nothing but problems. The vent cap on top of the tank lets in quite a bit of moisture if gas is left in it for any period of time. The tank is a real pain in the rear to remove to drain gas/clean. Plus the internal tank...

The 3 blade machete is ok. I only use it in grass though, the rest of the time I use the 2 blade power prop. The best prop for the grass in my opinion was the 4 blade ninja prop but that was discontinued long ago. I found this interesting on what the late Doug Hannon ( aka the bass professor )...

=D> Looking Good =D> Just wondering what color/colors are you going to paint it?

That stall mat is some pretty tough stuff. I have some 3/8 in the bottom of my boat just for noise reduction & a non slip surface. I have no doubt that 3/4 with 1/2 inch wood backing will be plenty of strong.

I understand completely, just showing another option for hand control here. The Pro Kontrol just gives a better steering/turning radius in my opinion & you don't have to reach down for the tiller that often; just a bump of the steering handle every now and then. Most guys who use one have 2 or...

https://www.prokontroll.com/ This is what I use & what most guys in my area use for their hand controlled motors. I have seen it used on transom mount motors. It may or may not work for your particular application. Their fairly common here in Texas but on all of the online boards I've looked at...
