    Old Scull Boat, New project

Painted alll of the wood with penetrating epoxy before re-painting. Repainted with 2 coats of enamel that was...

    Old Scull Boat, New project

    Bob, Id love to get copy of those plans! Dave, thanks for the tip on the paint. That might work. Steve, I'll strip the tape where it sits in the water, and the stern (Its all cracked). But the rest I will just refresh. The bottom and about 2" up has been flex sealed. Only way to get it...

    Old Scull Boat, New project

    Started stripping it last night. Very impressed with how solid it is. I will strip it, replace the fiberglass seams and paint it. The inside I will only be painting. The transom needs some wood repair. The port for the oar is brass, lined with leather. It will need a boot if anyone knows where...

    Old Scull Boat, New project

    Thankyou Steve! I will post some pictures as I go. It doesnt have ballast per se. The gentleman I bought it from used an electric motor to move up and down the river then put it in the bow when he sculled. The Battery box he made is in the bow. I like the leather boot idea. I watched this boat...

    Old Scull Boat, New project

    Bought one of these last fall from a guy that used it a lot to hunt Geese. He said it needed a lot of work. It doesnt really. The shell is plywood with taped seams. Everything is solid. Few cracks in the taped seams. One chipped and rotted piece in the stern. I was going to replace it, but the...

    What is in your bag? January 2021

    Brad F. There are still a lot of people, but less seem to be chasing birds. Less big boats. And I think the numbers of birds being down helps. Water was very high when I was there last week, and that makes it tough. Those were my first 2 Redheads in few years. Lots of GE for you. I missed the...

    Hi Brad. There were quite a few Redheads, nowhere near the numbers I saw even a few years ago though. I love hunting there, it peaceful usually.

    What is in your bag? January 2021

    Im going to cheat a little. This is Late November. But this may have been Jakes last hunt. Hes 10, has been an awesome dog, but has laryngeal paralysis that is getting worse. He cant breathe when he gets excited. Might try one more time in clean deep water, but he just doesnt want to go anymore...

    Steve Sutton Memories

It was late December. He drove cross the state in snow storm. I offered to let him stay at my house, but he got...

    New NDR project - axe refurubishing

    Evaporust works very well. I use it a lot for cleaning up old car parts. It removes the rust, and even leaves any original paint behind.

    With a shattered heart

    Dani, I have met you a couple times when you were in Washington hunting with Steve. There is nothing I can say that hasnt been said already. I am sorry for yours and Debbie's loss, you are in my prayers. I also have a couple stories about time I spent with Steve.

    boat build, looking for advice on power.

    I know you asked about electric motors, but depends on your reason for going electric. Ive used a Johnson 2hp and now a Mercury 3.3 hp. Both weigh something like 27 pounds. Half the weight of the battery you will need for the electric. Probably less money too. I paid $200 for the Johnson and...
