    Wacky Rigging

    I tried wacky rigging for the first time today. I used a flea flicker rig. lost 2 in the first half hour. I don't like rigs that aren't snag proof. I have better results with a trick worm and hook up every time. I will try again, but have lost confidence so far..........Sorry this was the shaky...

    YES! Beer for weight loss!

    The beer isn't the problem. Its the 20 hot wings and 5 bags of chips that go along with that low calorie case of beer.

    Hasn't anyone tried skirt steak m rare on the grill. It has a different and better taste than any beef. Try it you'll like it. Let me know what you think after you try it.

    My new ride

    Nice, I think its the best way to fish, lake or river. You don't have to fight the boat dock either. I have a Manta Ray rigged with fish finder,anchor trolly, rod holders and lots of storage. This is probably why I'll never finish my tin boat. Last winters project is becoming this winters project.

    Polarized Bi-focal Sunglasses from LL Bean

    My wife wears bi-focal contacts. She says they are great. I wear one contact in my left eye for reading. My right eye is for distance. It takes a while to get used to it, but the brain adjusts automatically. Check it out.

    Just got back from vacation. Now I'm ready to get this motor running. I may leave the paint alone, but I can match the paint myself if I decide to paint it. Thanks for the comments.

    Fiberglass resin removal?

    I read your post, and had no answer except you're screwed. If you sand it you will be through the aluminium before it comes off. Maybe you could try a stick of dynamite and hope for the best. :lol:

    57 evinrude 35 hp

    Thanks, I have ordered parts so I can get it running. I will only repaint the cover since the rest is original and looks good. I agree this motor is one of the nicest looking classics with that chrome it has that 57 chevy look. This is the first one I have ever seen.

    Alumaweld

    I have had good luck with it. Use a wire brush preferably stainless, clean it really well. Heat the rod to where it starts to melt, then smear it around. It may be to hot if its just rolling off. I just rapaired a 6" by 1/4" gash in my boat where it rubbed through on a bad roller. This stuff...

    2000 50HP 2-stroke fuel injected

    If you're not getting fuel I would spray fuel from a spray bottle directly in the carb as you crank it, that way you know you are getting fuel there. I would use fresh pre mixed fuel.
