What year is it? 20” or 25” shaft? Thanks.
Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario Unitedin his listing it says it is a long shaft. that would be a 20" shaft. a short shaft is 15" an extra long shaft is 25".

rubber nets are shallow and are very heavy. not something you want to use if you do any fishing alone or fish for large fish. the coated nets are the way to go in my opinion. I use to use a frabil true trax with coated net and it worked pretty good. now I use the ego s2 slider with the coated net. I have the largest net with the handle that extends from 48" to 108". but they have another handle that I think extends from 29" to 60". the mesh is coated making them resistant to hooks but not hook proof.
egos2slider.com and look at the s2 nets not the s1 that doesn't have extendible handles.

yep it is clearly the power boat that didnt give way to the sail boat. just happy nobody got hurt.

I cant believe he didnt take them for 300.00. 2 working electric riggers is a steal at 300.00. if I had the spare money I would buy them myself for spares for my riggers or sell them for a profit.

I found mine on ebay at a good price.

just quit going to this sight and you'll never be bothered again.

my bad, I read your post all wrong. I thought it was 25.00 each. 25.00 for 4 holders is a great price. I use them on my small boat for fishing inland lakes. they are a great little rod holder.

any of the big name riggers in good shape wsill work for you, cannon, big jon, penn, scotty, and I don't know about walker manuals. I have big jon electric and just love then. penn makes a awesome manual that I like. manuals are going to cost you 100.00 to 150.00 each. you can get used electric for around 225.00 to 250.00 each. I used manuals for 30 yrs then when I got to old to crank them up I bought electric. I've kicked my rear end for not getting electric yrs ago
you can check them all out on ebay if you don't find what you want on here.

don't mean to bust your bubble but you can get these for 16.99 without base at cabelas. you can get 4 with bases for 69.99 at cabelas.

I use a 4000# atv superwinch that I bought off ebay for around 200.00 on my 21' boat. but I used the same winch on a 28' sea ray amberjack and it worked beautiful. it has automatic 100% load holding brake but I use a safety chain just in case it ever fails.

will you ship the flare gun kits for 30.00 plus I pay for shipping??

the big jon motors are like 149.00 for the old short motors the pre dates 2012. the new heavy duty motors that goes on the new riggers plus is a upgrade for the short motors. the newer motors is 179.00 from big jon.

why not just put some guides on the trailer you have? you might buy a new trailer and have the same problem. guides on the trailer will pretty much keep the boat aligned on the trailer.

Wire dipsey to flasher - 8lb line and no break offs?
yes we used 8# trilene xl and never had a break off. but we only used it on one trip as it took forever to bring a fish in. we also cleared one side of the boat before the fish was brought to the boat. a nice 18# to 20# fish would make some awesome runs on the light line. I know a lot of you guys thinks what an idiot that guy is for running 8# line for kings. but we just wanted to see if we got more hits on the light line. but we spent so much time getting the fish in and only fishing on the side we didnt clear. we couldn't tell if we got more hits.
I use 30# braid for fishing for big black drum in saltwater and I've had them take a lot of line but never had one just break off. I have had a couple of rods break and I've had them get into something around the bridge we fish and cut my line. but fishing open water for salmon they can make long runs and not hurt anything.

if you don't get one on here you may have to order from bigjon.com I just emailed them with questions like where to order a motor. and the price of a capt pack motor and a pro tournament motor. and if the pro tournament motor is better than the capt pack motor.
I have 2 pro tournament riggers on my boat and run 13# pancake weights. one of my riggers will trip the breaker every so often but the other one never trips the breaker. but they are very fast which takes some getting use to.

just loosen your drags a little. we went to south haven some yrs back and used 8# trilene line. wanted to see if we got more hits with light line. we caught several fish but took forever to bring them to the boat. we had the drags set for 8# line and didnt have any break offs. if your drag is set right you shouldn't have any break offs.

sounds like a ground issue or a loose connection somewhere,
i'm with Richard on this one. I think you have a loose connection somewhere. it only gives you a major problem when a heavy load is put on the system. I've had cars where everything worked ok. but hit the starter and everything goes dim and the engine doesn't turn. it was either a corroded or loose connection at the battery. check all connections for loose or corrosion.

haven't salmon fished for some time but the hottest color for us was silver belly with lime green back. another color that worked good for us was a silver belly with a metallic blue back. both of these were our meat and potatoes for catching salmon.

traxstech fit my cannon tracks.

I would say your about 100.00 to high on a used big jon rigger. but again it depends on the market. but that looks like a caption pak rigger. just one opinion.
Sealing underside of plywood floor..
in This Old Boat
Posted · Edited by sherman brown
I agree on not using treated wood. just get exterior grade plywood the only difference in it and marine is the marine has less knots and one side is extra smooth. I sealed mine with paint on truck bed lining I bought at Oreillys. but a few coatings of polyurethane should seal the bottom and edges and last for yrs. I sealed all the seams and edges after the floor was installed with cheese cloth and fiberglass resin.
