    Xmas came early: Stella.

    Had some extra boot to throw so I picked this up. I've been wanting a nice setup for awhile. I was going to buy a Stradic, but then I held a Sustain.. Then after looking at the price tag on the Sustain I figured I might as well get a second hand Stella... Funny how it snowballs. 2010 Stella...

    Cheap Alternative Anti-Slip Grip for Boats & Trailer Tongues

    I'm sure most of you know a tin boat can be slippery when wet.. I've had a couple close calls myself. Back in the day, many years ago I use to skateboard. I remember the grip tape was very durable and long lasting so I decided to try this route with much success. Now on those long night fishing...

    Sixes back in the mix

    It's been a couple months now since I've owned a boat. Had planned on it being sooner but with the run on guns I had to do a bit of investing and getting 1099'd I can't get in too deep yet... So without further ado I present the first boat I've looked at to purchase in almost 4 months.. I can...

    Motor to swap

    Adding your location helps, also consider this is a nation wide forum you'd probably have better luck on Clist. Going from a 15 to an 18 won't make much of a difference. Try losing some weight on your boat is possible, adjust your trim, etc.

    Sixes: Bill Of Sale / Test Drive Liability Waiver

    Figured I might share this with you all just in case someone might be in need. I was concerned that I might not be "covered" in writing when others test drove my vehicles, i.e. Motorcycle,Boat, or Car in the instance they do damage to Persons, Property, or sale vehicle. Also writing a BOS is a...

    Craigslist - The things I've gotten from..

    The only thing I don't buy used is my underwear and food. With that said, while I was laying in bed last night I thought of the things that are in Me & My Ol' Lady's possession right now that have came off craigslist. She does call me the cheapest man alive. Cheaper than Charlie? You decide. -...

    Okuma Trio, Thoughts?

    Well I think am changing brands.. At the beginning of my short lived fishing career I caught my first couple big fish using a family owned Shimano Sienna 2500 w/ Sojourn 6'6". That year they updated both rod and reel so I went out and purchased my own 2500 and 4000 setups. After gravitating to...

    Had a guy come in our shop the other day selling the miracle cloth. lol.He was an old fella with a couple smooth lines so he sold one to me at $5.50. Pretty much an over sized jewelry rag.

    Boston Whaler

    A couple months ago I noticed a really nice flat bottom, dual axle, roller bunk trailer on the side of the road and stopped in to inquire about it for sale. $500 wasn't a bad shake but it was bit too serious for my current application. While in the yard I noticed the seller had a small Boston...

    Ultimate Jon Boat seat

    Was at the discount outlet and they had a coleman atv rear seat. Holds tackle, padded, cup holders, and makes for a nice arm rest. All my tackle built into my chair. Plus if you are running a tiller on a narrow boat you won't have to worry about placement or leaning side to side...

    Hurricane Isaac

    They have changed the track on this storm almost daily, playing it safe they have a 200+ mile area. Below, the latest track. It was east of me, now west of me. Now they say it's heading back east. Who knows where it's going!? FL and MS are under a state of emergency. AL being in the middle has...

    $5 Skid Guard Tread Mod

    My boat can be a bit slippery when wet. While at Lowes the other day I came across Skid guard tread. One 6"x24" strip was enough to lightly cover the entire boat. The front and rear floor, front deck, and to the sides of both seats (not pictured) when cut into many strips. Even had enough to put...
