Hi All, I've pretty much gotten out of hunting and am selling off a lot of my stuff. All of it has been used, but treated well. Here is what I have for sale: Duck hunting stuff - Cabelas camo waders - titanium lined or something? - breathable with reinforced areas - mens 10...

Hi folks, Eric/Steve, please delete this if it is too NDR. I want to put in a good word for Talley Manufacturing (folks who make Talley scope rings). I just had an amazing customer service experience with them. They really went above and beyond to make sure I was a satisfied customer. That...

Hi All, I was wondering what the favorite boat colors are for folks here on the board are? I'll be painting my boat with FME. It will be medium open water gray since I primarily use it for divers. (If I use my mud buddy, it won't much matter since it hides most of the boat anyway, but I...

Hi, I have a boat seat with a damaged plywood backrest. Rather than trash a perfectly good seat I'm going to rebuild it. I removed the plywood from the cover and the foam. It was connected with staples. I'm going to bandsaw out a new back and it should work just fine. But, I need to pick...

Here is a project I put together as a bit of an experiment. My daughter doesn't like the "wind" when we are in the boat, so I thought I'd make a dodger for her to hang out in out of the wind and sun. It was going to be a fancier one, like Bill Burris', more like a sailboat dodger with a bimini...

Hi All, Does anyone have recommendations for a good camping tent for car camping for a family of four. Our old tent bit the dust, and we're thinking of bringing the boat along on some trips rather than the popup camper, so we'll need a tent. Anyone use those (edited: very thick 3"+)...

Anyone here used the microplane disks that velcro onto an orbital sander? I saw them in the Northern Tool catalog, and they were between $9 and $14 for a package (2 per pkg if you get the same grit, 3 per pkg if you get the grit assortment). I've used their replacement sureform plane blades...

Hi All, I am finally going to repaint my boat, luckily I waited, cause now it is a different hull - LOL. I am going to repaint over the existing blue sides with FME (open water med grey). I am not planning to paint the whole hull, just the parts that are blue now. I can just mask off the...

Hi All, Does anyone here have solid aluminum rivets and might be willing to sell me one or two? I've located some online (aircraft Spruce, but they seem to sell by the pound. I only need one, maybe two if I screw up the first one. It is for my "new-to-me" boat. One rivet in the transom has...

I need (want) to replace the fuel line in my new-to-me boat. It is pretty stiff, maybe even brittle, and I'm worried that it might fail sometime when I least want it to. The line is mostly above decks in the splash well and exposed to sunlight (it runs from a bulkhead through hull fitting...

Anyone seen/used these on their duckboats: West marine perko camo parts

Matt, You'll get a kick out of this - my new hull is only two digits different in the serial number than my old one!!! 210 and 212. Too funny. Charlie

It has been so long since I've bought one I forget what to buy. Anyone have recommendations? Blade width, tpi, blade config (hook tooth?), stuff like that? It's mostly for cutting tan cork bodies, cedar or basswood heads. Maybe a pine body or two. It is a standard length (109" or something...

Does anyone know of plans for wooden stitch and glue V-hulls? Something smaller than the Tolman skiff, but built in the manner of a stitch and glue Devlin boat. Something in the 17-20 foot range, 13-15 degree deadrise at the stern running up about a third of the way or so, transitioning into a...

Harker, Thanks for the advice. Back when I was looking at that little tohatsu you suggested holding on a few weeks and that I'd probably find an off season deal. Well, I waited like you said, and just scored a 8 horse tohatsu for a sweet price. Needs a little work, but I'm into that kind of...

Eric/Steve, Would it be possible to have a separate forum for posting some of the great ideas folks have posted for things we build/modify to make our hunting lives easier? Tom S just posted a phenomenal design for an improvement on the commercial canoe loader, others have posted all kinds of...

Hi All, For those of you that bowhunt - what are you using for a sight? I'd like to change mine out for one with smaller pins (.019 instead of .029). The larger pin diameter blocks out too much of the target area at many distances, so shooting is more of "in the general area" than the...

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my Alaskan is off the market. Unfortunately I can't justify spending the money on a new boat. I almost had myself fooled that it made sense. Thanks for the inquiries and interest. Sorry if this messes up anyones plans. There are plenty of other good...

I have a line on a early 90's tohatsu 3.5 horse (unfortunately only one gear - forward). Original owner is selling it, has original manuals and an external tank. Am I right to assume one gear generally means "start in gear" or is that a bad assumption? I realize that F-N-R is more desirable...

Any other hobby weldors out there on the DBHP? I'm thinking about upgrading my entry level Lincoln to a bigger Miller with a spool gun. The local shop recommended a Millermatic 180 (220V power) with a Spoolmate 3035. The Miller help line suggested the 180 but that I look at their new...
