    Bleed out your fish?

    I always bleed them as soon as I kill them. Ill usually gut them and pull the gills out. If you clean them well and then throw them on ice the meat is better. You dont have to but you get better quality meat if you do. Also never let them soak in the sink, they soak up water and you get mushy...

    Would you buy a brand new boat?

    Alot to consider: If your credit is good you can get long term loans and pay a small monthly for alot of years. But if your not in that bracket then the interest will add a huge amount to the final tab. If you know what you want and have had a few practice boats then Id say go for it. If not...

    ...pain in the ribs!

    You can only do so much, I have gaps on mine but nobody but me can tell. If you can, paint whatever is under the carpet the color of the carpet. Just do it, its just a boat and once you take it out fishing a few times the carpet will be the last thing on your mind. Like grandpa used to say "Rub...

    New life for an old Smoker Craft

    Glad to represent the NW :D I used a #8 kit and coated the whole bottom. I buried a row of rivets the length of the boat under a 1/4" of epoxy though. Id say #2 might not be enough for you but its all up to how thick it is. Do you have a specific leak that your trying to cover? You might be...

    Prep and Paint Questions...

    Nothing against those using foam rollers but: I hate foam rollers, They dissolve in rustoleum and are not what I would use. I use the disposable 1/4 or less nap rollers. There $1.99-$2.99 with a disposable tray at home depot. The big trick to rustoleum is to roll it on really wet and keep...

    She floats :mrgreen: Went out and played on my pond for an hour and a half and tested all systems. Live well works awesome!!! The Fill pump works great and you can drain most of the water out just pulling the plug in the bottom before you get to the trailer. Its still stable as heck and I...

    New life for an old Smoker Craft

    I sure wish my seats and bilge pump were here. I got all the plumbing and electrical finished. Shut off the lights in the shop to show the lights working. It will be really nice after an evening of fishing to be able to stow all the gear without needing a flashlight to see what im doing. The...
