    Lowe 16x48 Restoration

    Regarding pourable foam: You do need a channel for water to flow towards your drainplug. This does not exclude using foam, you just have to plan out for your channel. You can't see the channel in my boat but it is there under the foam. A v-hull is probably easier to do this to than a flat...

    SteelFlex On V Hull Question

    Also use tape and newspaper to mask off where you don't want paint. Just peel it off after a few hours before the stuff really sets.

    Eagle Scout project ideas......

    I don't know what kind of structure the largemouth like, but as an old eagle scout I'm happy to hear you're working on your eagle project.

    LAB METAL DOES IT WORK?

    I'm with flounder on the flexing. The big test will be running through some chop all day THEN filling it with water to check for leaks. This stuff is bondo with heat resistance for the powdercoating industry, might be good stuff but there are products meant for the task at hand in the same...

    Winchester model 94

    Google is your friend, this is one of many sites out there: https://cowichanbay.net/winchesterguns/serial94.html Past owners: If you bought it from a dealer and a background check was run on you and the gun, it's probably clean. If you bought at a show or private sale somewhere then I...

    14' Feather Craft V-hull

    The foam came from aeromarine products / John Greer. https://www.jgreer.com/Foam%20Page.htm

    New toy

    Congrats on the deer. =D> I hope you parked at the bottom of the hill and hiked up so you had a downhill drag. Wrap the deer in a tarp or heavy canvas to avoid damage, or better yet build a little cart with bike wheels to leave in the truck if you need to haul one out. Savage has a...

    Question for ebayers

    I don't sell just buy so I can't answer your exact question. But what has happened is that lots of sellers have some pretty stiff shipping and handling fees which they use to cover ebay costs as well as shipping. I've bought quite a few things for $2 with a $10 shipping/handling fee. Doesn't...

    Starting on 1027 Flat Bottom Jon(large pics)update 10/20/08

    I don't know where you are in the upstate but if you can get to seneca then behind firehouse subs on 123 near 28 there's a place that may have what you want, and can order in whatever you dream up. They'll sell small drops out of their scrap bin or cut to size if you don't need 20'.

    new guy and new boat

    Nice boat, in great shape for the years it has seen. The steering console is sweet.

    14' Feather Craft V-hull

    Here's a couple pictures of the flotation foam going in. The manufacturer recomends plastic down first if you don't want foam sticking to everything. I was able to use a sheet of plastic draped over the framing to create a channel front to back for water to work its way out. I mixed small...

    Plywood Question....

    Plywood structural quality goes something like this: Exterior grade < interior grade < furniture grade < marine grade. This is a simplification and there are plenty of exceptions, where I get ply the warehouse carries something like close to 200 varieties. Another way of grading ply is by...

    any killin?

    Loggerhead Mike, the bullet passed through him. What you see in the picture is the exit side, it was a heart/lung shot. I take it you're curious about a muzzleloader's take down ability. I took this deer with a .45 caliber pushed by 100grs of triple 7. A shot taken with most rifle calibers...

    14' Feather Craft V-hull

    I thought I would pass on what I've learned from making this boat watertight. First, both gluv-it and steelflex are really nice products. There was plenty of information on steelflex on any number on threads, not much on gluv-it. Gluv-it does cost more, but has much, much, better coverage...

    Muzzleloaders

    I thought a picture might help you make up your mind. I've had this for 5 seasons now, it's been good to me. I take it you're looking for a rifled barrel for a shotgun you have already, how about just getting a rifled slug and a muzzleloader barrel for the encore? Hunting season is got to be...

    14' Feather Craft V-hull

    Work, hunting season, and family have all collided recently resulting in the boat collecting dust. I did get a coat of steelflex on and got the boat wet a couple days later. No leaks.

    I've been thinking......

    Since you're only becoming more determined, here are some resources that may help: This book is geared towards large sailboats and is dated, but full of usefull information. I got a copy when I started to think about building a boat myself...
