Fixed a couple of little dings, worked out a little bend and new paint for the prop.

I've seen a few at a local beach bar. One was 'Shipfaced', another was 'Last Call' with the lettering going from being upright to falling over.

FYI I found the RustOleum etching primer @ Aubuchon Hardware. I've never used it before now, but it appears to work great. As for sanding aluminum I use scotch brite pads. They scuff the surface nicely. That's my .02

Deck put together.

Stern brackets painted today. Got mid deck framing fitted as well as transom board. I was able to cut the bow deck top but have yet to make the supporting frame.

@Bobby Great article! Thanks for posting that

This is what I was thinking of redoing. It looks like there is old sealant that it cracking in spots. I want to repaint the outside and figured i would have to fix this to have the paint last. Any input would be great!

Doesn't the reel eleminate pulling on the rope by hand?

Thanks Jign. I'll try to post a few tomorrow.

Dyeguy, I saw those batteries in the Cabelas fishing calatog. Have to take a look at them next time I go to the store. Thanks for the input guys!

Found some Boat Life-Life Caulk at my local shop today. Anyone have any experience with it? I would like to run a new bead down my hull. It has separated and cracked in spots. This caulk I found says it sticks to wood, metal, fiberglass and glass. Also says its can be sanded and painted, but...

You could try a tractor utility light. I think they're 4". I put one on my atv. Soldered a longer wires on and added alligator clips to hook it to my battery. Then I bolted a wood working spring clamp to the mounting bracket so it could be put in different spots or put in the storage box. Works...

I was looking at the optima batteries. I put one in my Deere 1050 about 7 years ago, still perfect. I want to get one of the MinnKota chargers but pretty sure the Mrs. would scalp me if I bought one. She caught me eyeballing boat stuff when we went to the Cabelas in Scarborough. Gave me 'the...

Thanks for the tips. Maybe I charged it too often. I thought I should be able to get 3 or 4 seasons out of a battery. I think I'll charge the ones I have then have them checked at my local shop, I don't have a load tester. Hopefully one of them is still good.

I am curious what batteries you guys prefer. I have tried the Everstart batteries from Wal-Mart with not much luck. They don't seem to last very long. I have a good charger and use a Minn Kota 55lb motor. I have run out of warranty freebies so now I am looking at other brands. They are about...
