    Decent switch panel?

    Starting work on my Tracker 1542 and I'm looking for a decent switch panel. I tried one from Bass Pro on another boat and it sucked. Has anyone had good luck with anything that's not outrageously priced? I would prefer rocker switches due to location, and 6 switches would be ideal. Three will...

    Need some opinions on this situation

    I started to strip the paint on my 16 foot semi v last night. I found some things that worry me. I am wondering if it is worth continuing with this, or If I should find something else. This picture shows two areas that worry me. where the bow meets the bottom, there is a pretty good dent...

    Project: Coot Commander (updated 4/27)

    Well I finally got my old Tri-Hull off my trailer so I could go pick up this gem for $75 from a buddy of mine. It is going to primarily be a hunting boat. No clue who made it. Thought I was getting a 14 footer, but turns out its a 16. It and the trailer are getting completely re-done. Sorry...

    replacing rod bearing yourself-how difficult?

    Last year my late 80's 35hp Mercury lost a cylinder. The piston will move slightly when pushed on the top. We figured its a rod bearing since the other piston is still solid. Is this something easily done at home?

    Can't Decide on a caliber

    Well I want I lever gun, that much I do know. But I can't decide what caliber to pick. A .357 or .44 Mag I could shoot at the indoor range, but I don't know how often I would do this since its only 25 yards. The .357 is also the cheapest to shoot. The 30-30 or 35 Remington are a little bit...

    Deal of the day sites

    Didn't see these posted anywhere. The way these work is pretty simple. They have one item for a set amount of time, or until it is sold out. Usually these are pretty deeply discounted, name brand items. Once sold out or time expires, it switches to a new item. Here are a couple outdoors...

    Long Shaft on Short Transom?

    What, if any, are the issues with doing this? I have a 35 HP Mercury with power trim and console steering. It is on an older fiberglass Tuffy. I want to go back to an aluminum boat for a couple reasons. The glass boat is too heavy for my S10 and I have to borrow my parents truck, or make a...

    Added one to the stable

    Finally came in after a 2 week wait. Hopefully it will get a few ducks under its belt before the seasons over. Only 5 days left for us.

    No ducks, but we had a visitor

    Went out with a couple buddies this morning, saw some but none put the landing gear down. While we were bs'ing we turned around to see this guy in our spread: Heard at least two turkeys this morning as well. Travis had to work, and I had to go do a job for my dad, so Mike took us in, and...

    SEO

    Search Engine Optimization. Anyone have experience with it? I thought I was decent at computers and websites, at least for my uses, until I tried getting stuff to show up in search engines. Its Kind of driving me crazy. I have no clue which keywords to use where. Backlinking, do follow, no...

    Pictures of reloading set-ups

    I'm cleaning out the basement to make room for a bench and storage. Just looking to get some ideas before it gets built. Right now I only have my 12 gauge press, but will most likely start reloading a couple others. I have an xd40, have been looking at 1911's, and need to decide on a rifle...

    First time hunting...Success!

    I finally got into a hunter safety class this summer and got my license. I went out squirrel hunting on public land last Thursday. I wasn't really expecting a lot cause it was my first time and all, but I just wanted to get out and learn a few of the public areas for other upcoming seasons. I...

    WTB Single Stage 12 gauge Shotshell Reloader

    This is a long shot here, but I am looking for one. Not looking for a progressive since loading buckshot requires you to stack em by hand anyways. Any of the major brands will do as long as it can load at least 12 gauge 3" shells. 3 1/2" is preferred, but not necessary.

    spinning rod and reel for plastics?

    I am looking for a spinning rod and reel for plastics. Right now I have a pfleuger president on my ultralight rod and like it, but id like a bit bigger set up for throwing plastics out of my kayak. I'm not opposed to baitcasters, but I think a spinning rod that is around 6'6" would be...

    My new ride

    Well after some motor issues on top of not getting out bowfishing as much as I wanted to, I decided to sell the boat. I have started Rod and Reel fishing here and there again. I couldn't see myself not having some way of getting on the water, so here is the new Ride I picked up today. I know...

    Joomla

    Jim, I saw that TinBoats uses Joomla for the main page. How do you like it, and how user friendly is it? I'm working on a website community (not fishing related of course :wink: ) and would like to have some form of portal, but out of all the sites I have put together I have never used any...

    Mission Accomplished!

    This is THE fish I have been after since I started bowfishing. Yes everyone loves the big ones, and they are a lot of fun. But for Rarity and a Very Pretty fish, this is what I have been after. Low and Behold, The Goldfish! Now, goldfish themselves aren't terribly uncommon, however ones that...

    A couple new pics

    Tried out a spot thats usually good and a new spot that did us well. These aren't all the fish we shot, that barrel was almost full.

    Pictures from this season so far.

    Been out about 5 times now. We are starting to go out more because the first tournament we are entering is on May 15th, and it is on our home turf. We will be scouting like crazy for the next few weeks.
