    Getting a boat off a trailer

    4 old tires to cushion bottom. If you can find the big off rd. tires they have a wider foot print keeping boat closer to level of bunks. Slide boat off on to tires if possible. If to heavy secure stern to something and gently pull trailer out from under hull to rest on tires. When it comes time...

    “On the Ebb” - Black duck hunting film by Field & Stream

    Those mosquito ditch stalks have saved many a duck hunt on the marsh when Mr. Blk. Duck doesn't want to respond to the decoys correctly.

    Sanford Gunning Box?

    That's a great video. Has another part come out yet? At 8' I might even be able to slip the dog in behind me with a bit of Mods to dodger.

    Estuary Garvey

    Sweet hull. Very similar exterior to the Chincoteague Scow 14 & 16,s that used to be the standard duck boat on the bay in my area years ago until Carolina Skiffs took their spot. The scow was a lot better rough water boat though. I,m sure you,ll be pleased with it.

    Father & Son Restoration Project Amazing History! (Sit Down For This One..)

    What an Immense attention to detail on that grass boat. Love that adjustable dodger and the removable motor board another superb idea.

    Now what?! Boat blind storage for off season?

    Not real familiar with how the Avery breaks down but can it be stored sitting on its edge against a wall inside an out building ? I,m thinking it flattens out to each side . Of course grassing will limit that. Bunge those sides down and stand on edge if frame will support. Then main issue would...

    Gheenoe repair help.

    When your done with your glass work don't go back to blind fasteners for your seat mounts. That is what factory uses but over time they will wear into glass from underside and pull thru against hard weight. My rear seat almost pitched me overboard one cold morning when I lost balance and leaned...

    Gheenoe repair help.

    If your just trying to fill holes someone cut mask back side with a sturdy tape. Gorilla tape possibly . First off sand a good distance out around perimeter . Start laying in saturated mating to build up layers extending first couple out onto sanded perimeter. That seat cut out is your flotation...

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    Bought the unit new in about 2014. If I recall its a Garman but not 100 percent sure without uncovering boat. I'm assuming antenna is built into the wire bundle I,ve got laying under console as there's no coax connector to attach an external antenna that I've found.

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    I do get very poor reception on GPS in depth finder . To the point a lot of days its non functioning/ won,t lock onto satellite's. Other days reception is fine but that doesn,t happen a lot. My wire bundle which I assume has an antenna leads in it is tucked under my aluminum console. Always...

    Depth Finder and Navigation

    Have GPS on my Depth finder. Problem i,ve found is the windy river I hunt the track would take you right thru the woods on the pointed corners. Found this out in daytime use thankfully. Works good for crossing bays though.

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

    Took advantage of midday high tide change and 26 degrees temp yesterday after another 14 degree morning. With 10 mph N.W. wind and tide movement broke a hole in ice in front of blind and let wind & tide carry ice away. Shot first duck 15 minutes after getting in blind at about 12:15 pm and done...

    Pet Peave - Sleeves without a slick lining

    Surprised the liner jkt. isn't slick inside as most models are simply a kind of nylon either side with insulation sandwiched between. Does liner jkt. have fleece inside it ? I seem to run into a gun mount issue with their 3n1 styles getting the tall outer shell collar keeping my head from going...

    Cold Snap, how low did you go?

Tues. morning just a couple degrees cooler and another great hunting morning. Now this morning back to mid teens and were stuck in those temps with...
