    This weather...

    Sucks... 50's in June with rain. Took a couple days off to get caught up on projects and we get this weather. Ended up with walking pneumonia that doesn't want to clear up while I'm out and about with wet feet. This was Monday, installing the Chevy 350 and velvet drive in dad's boat after...

    Meet 'Flipper', the soon to be sold 1232 tin

    So, my son was given this little gem as payment for helping to set out some non paying tenants last month. Took a couple weeks for the title to be forthcoming but now that it's here I figured I'd start a little build thread before 'flipping' this little guy to some lucky boater. Flipper apears...

    Padded carpet install, what to make it stick?

    Sorry if this is overly redundant, my Google-fu has failed me. I bought carpet for my boat in 2010 and it's been on the roll since then because I haven't figured out what I wanted to do, carpet or high density foam flooring pads. I ended up deciding that I want both... I bought a bunch of...

    Gamo springer upgrades

    No real gun porn since I put it together without taking pics but... I have a Gamo 1200 Big Cat, used for urban 'pest removal' and plinking stress relief. It's been stock and working fine for two years but since it was raining I took it apart today after searching things to do to it. I didn't...

    River art? Shakespeare 1905 Model FK river find

    Maybe not the right subforum but I thought more folks would see this here. Went fishing yesterday with the oldest, shot some video of the boat playing around and then we went up through the shallows to a quarry area, one huge flat rock face underwater that the boy wanted to go swimming in 3-5'...

    Do any fish finders allow you to make your own maps?

    Via software or something else? My main stretch of river is only about 3-4 miles long, not covered under any GPS map software and full of silverback boulders (silverback from boats going over them). I'd love to be able to plot the shoreline and nasty's to help me navigate. I don't use the...

    Camo Boat Wraps

    Do a search. I think it was on here that a fellow posted with less than desirable results... Seems the water pressure caused it to delaminate and peel... Seems you could paint something that matched your area better than you could buy it and you could change the colors a bit to match the...
