Hey all, Be safe out there and good luck during this Nasty spell! All the best!

Oh I hear you on that one, I think I'd be happier just buying the seat and not having to worry about soar rump...

Great Pictures! I'm pretty sure I'll be moving to Fairbanks within the next 6 months, so It's exciting to see the views you've posted!

Does anyone have any feedback on me using a Die-Cut duck blind to drape over the boat as I lay in the water.. I will be in some Tulles or brush thats in the water. I figure the blind will drape over the boat and lay in the water most likely sink around the boat. The water is about waist deep...

Fella's Thanks a lot for all the feedback, it looks like the MoMarsh is the way to go if I am going to buy something pre-made and the plywood option for something that I can make/put together.

Scott and Jon, I was thinking the same with the plywood. Thanks for the tips and advice guys.. I plan on heading out again tomorrow a.m. or evening and see how it works. The Pintail boat comes with a molded seat thats a little elevated that I use to rest my back on. This works...

Got the Carsten's in the water and had the chance to knock em down the other weekend here in Nevada. what fun but my back was killing me... I ended up with a sore back.. I laid on my PFD which was fine, but I was wondering if anyone has thought of a good idea for a back rest. I have a...

Ernie, That wood is beautiful! Are there any differences in the pitches with the different woods?! Great work! -Mikey

John and Ron, Hey again and thanks for the feedback.. I did NOT use any gelcoat yet. I simply mixed the resin with the catalyst and soaked the glass and molded it with my gloves. I used a mini paint roller to smooth out any areas that had a heavy resin deposit.. I was worried about...

Tony, I went to Ace looked at Bondo and other filler putty. I really didn't know how to do it and didn't want to spend the money on something that's definitely a first for me. This is my first time doing anything like this and everybody on here has already been really helpful and I'm sick...

Well the First layer and coat is on the Boat. I tried a small area with the graduated syringe and a small piece of glass. Once I shaped it I just thought well lets do this. So I'll show you how it went and if anyone see's any problems please let me know. Otherwise I will let it cure over...

Ron, John and John, I finally have everything I need to start fiber glassing. I was waiting on the proper filters for my respirator. So I have planned that I will cut the glass, then after mixing my catalyst and resin apply and soak all the fiberglass. Once it's saturated I will use the...

Snow forecasted for the next few nights in 55731 MN/CAN Border.. Opener was 40F and overcast with winds. Cleared up and now again with cloud cover and freezing at night.

Hey Ron, Yes Sir, I've looked at Walgreens and found some sort of Oral metered syringe so as long as I don't need a long nose on it I should be fine.. I did also receive the General Instructions from Carstens and the Ratio's. I used to work as a water scientist / technician for a...

Thanks John, Yes it's a Carsten's Pintail and is the Bottom of the boat. Just fixing holes in the Keels.. I was just interested in why they sent both. Also - Is all silicon water insoluble? I am looking at finding some sort of filler for the seams that connect the top and...
