Thanks again to you Pro's for pointing out another useful tool on the water. I'm heading North in another couple weeks and will see about those divers.
Love those pics with the Kids & you're soooo... right about hooking them up with a the fish. Those are bigger than the sunnies they are used to. (Not that there's anyting wrong with Sunnies).
Anyhoo..... Sweet. And thanks to all you great SPORTSMEN for all the great daily info for us occasional/weekender guys. Keep it up guys! If not for us, the kids we're trying to get hooked-up!!!!!
being solo -- a good morning of fishing. Nice going & thanks for the CP&R, worth the effort & a sign of a REAL sportsman. Nothing wrong with keeping one for the grill or smoker once in awhile, especially if they're going to go belly up anyway.
Fleas + flies... mmmm I'll slather the bug dope over the SPF.
Hope the rain helps really set things up solid. See you guys out this weekend
Its a fiberglass boat. I appreciate all of your comments. I'll be taking a look this weekend to see how extensive the rot is. Does anyone know if there is anything out there like the truck bedliner stuff that can be applied instead of vinyl??
If I'm lucky its just one section of plywood like in FSN's picture that needs replacing. I'm assuming non-slip marine vinyl with waterproof glue was used.
1986 18' open bow f&s; 2nd owner last 12+ yrs; floor has a soft spot in middle of floor just behind the front seats. Hasn't taken the boat out of service yet... Can't tell how extensive rot is without ripping it all up. I'm handy and up for the challenge. Would like to get an expert to quote it before I take it on. any recommendations for expert repair is appreciated. Might be worth having boat back on the water before I can. I've been researching replacement but am open to tips, suggestions, comments, etc.. I'll check stringers and use marine plywood,stainless screws & fiberglass/resin. Questions: How thick plywood & who carries it? Would CDX work? Any comments on floatation foam? Any good options besides carpeting? I Plan on keeping boat for awhile. Thanks in advance.
Real nice. You've definitely put in your time and are deserving. Due to too many other obligations, I only get out a fraction of the time you guys (LOC Board Regs) and really appreciate the posts. Saving me some time and effort = better catch per unit effort.
Kudos!
Thanks for the reports. Heading up next weekend closer to A-Bay. 1st time taking my boat (always fished in someone else's) so I've been trying to study my map/charts. These starting points will help. thanks guys!
I'll check back for report from Cabby - hope its all good!
