  1. Man that’s a great deal. It’s going to look great I bet when your done with it. Not sure if your doing just a redo so she’s fishable to resell or a complete over haul to make her look new again and keep, if the latter, due these boats being known for the wood transom corrosion, you may just want to pop the cap off to see being no motor is on. Might be a better time to replace then a couple years down the road. Good luck with the project.
  2. My sincere condolences to you Rolmops and Ken. All prayers to you and your families.
  3. Whaler talked you in to not eating lakers……..
  4. Use to be the samples measured were ground up “fish whole” with toxins revealed as to what amounts were in found. This was because FDA and state gov couldn’t predict someone wouldn’t consume the whole fish. A study a few years ago now, took a head of lettuce and was measured against a fish that was filleted with no centerline and no skin and was in the ppb levels equal to that of the store shelf lettuce. It was an interesting article.
  5. If I was only that good on picking football spreads……….uggg
  6. Hey Bob, I’ve got the same boat, a ‘93 When I put mine in there was a sheet of plywood underneath when accessing the front storage compartment. I purchased a cheap 1x thick cutting board and customized it for the motor plate to bolt through. Also gives the motor base some height over the aluminum bow cap that’s on the boat. Doesn’t flex at all. Pretty solid. Hope that helps.
  7. This is a Pfluegar, harness in center to lock hook in. Came in a couple different sizes. This is a 5. The lure on the right is as some pointed out a Johnson Silver minnow. Eyelet gives it away.
  8. Chowder, not that I use smokeless, I didn’t realize some DMUs restrict its use. Where do I find that in the NYS deer regs?
  9. Thanks for sharing Les, wish I had some of those originals….. I do think I has some from the later versions with that unmistakable bent lip on the tail end.
  10. Wow Manny, great recap! Busy year for you with many success stories! Best of all you had many including the kids enjoying it! Thanks for sharing. Got to get back up to that river for steelhead!
  11. The battery switch is a must if you don’t have one. Found out the hard way after installing a new radio. Ate my batteries up and didn’t know it. An ohm meter will tell you if something is running when boat is stored or if something is going on when charging etc Other suggestion is to take it to a reasonable marina let them find the issue. Document everything then take Bryce to court to get your money back you had to pay to repair and legal fees.
  12. I would suggest reaching out to a moderator for the question on this. Several crossbows have been posted on here and if I’m not mistaken crossbows are considered a muzzleloader in NYS which is not considered a firearm.
  13. That’s a great couple of pics!
  14. Thanks Pete for sharing. I didn’t even know…..
  15. Man that’s a hell of a hunt! Congrats! Thanks for sharing that story!
  16. He’s a stud Steve. You got plenty of time with good weather this coming week! Good luck.
  17. Yes great buck and thank you for your service as well. What a story! Thanks for sharing it, going to look awesome up on the wall. Very unique with character.
  18. That video was off the hook Bill!
  19. Great pic!
  20. We’ll, my youngest got his first bow kill / deer this am. Problem with the first shot, regrouped his thoughts, and with a little coaxing with the grunt call, he smoked him at 30yds. Nice to see that excitement. Now he’s ready for the big boys he said.
  21. X6 Bill. Way to go! Nice buck!
  22. There’s give and take with all of the different setups giving you speed over energy etc. as someone mentioned you need to have the confidence more than anything. It’s been a few years but setting up bows for individuals was more of a “market advertisement” as they wanted that bow no matter what, didnt truly understanding what there getting for the money. Smoothness, speed, accuracy, deadliness and quietness all have to be balanced for the avg yardage you intend to shoot. Amazing seeing guys out on a 3D course with bows at 75+lbs that have a 6 inch brace height or shorter with the lightest arrows they can get away with and can’t be consistent past 30 yds. Some can muster it. Most can’t.
  23. You might want to get some idea of pricing if your not doing it. I think I had like 500.00 into it but that was a few years ago. Wood from a project cost of having someone else do it might be considerably cheaper. Good luck what ever you choose.
  24. Todd, I used the Seacast product. Bullet proof but definitely different than plopping a piece of wood down the slot and calling it good. I went with it just because I wanted it to be the last time I ever had to think about it again. Things I learned either by learning from the manufacturer or the hard way. 1. Dont do it during winter (unless you have heated garage) 2. Use spacers to keep the width consistent throughout the transom when pouring 3. Have another hand day of pour 4. More is better than running short Price point is more than wood, I think Coosa board is about the same if not more. It’s about what you feel comfortable with as well.
