Fine looking job. How skinny can that whaler hull get just to float?

To make an easy job of grassing decks use black plastic bird netting from hardware store. I simply drop a section cut to length over cockpit and cut out center area of cockpit where applicable. Of course trim outside edge to shape of boat. Attack your grassing to that via black zip ties . The...

I,m assuming your layout hunting is in bigger /rougher water. Have you considered a Lund or similar sized hull instead of a flat bottomed jon. Much smoother ride and less spray in cockpit in the rough. Theres other manufacture's that also make v hulls geared towards waterfowl hunting. Wide open...

Humidity isn't a friend of Testor,s Dull coat! I,d spray paint that webbing with some Rustoluem Camo Brown & Tan. That's instant mudding. Put some paper behind it if you don,t want to get it on dodger fabric but actually giving it all a mist will cut down on shine. Or simply pop stiches and...

Your the only one who knows how much of a load your planning to carry. Are you going to grass boat, add dodger, how many decoys do you plan to carry, have a dog and probably most important is boat going to be for transport of just you or transport of 2 people to a blind, etc. When you start...

If its right a fuel injected 4 stroke 20 is sweet. Won,t have the performance of the 25 though. I use to run a 2 stroke 25 Merc on my Blackjack and even with 2 people and a dog boat would fly. Check motor specs for weight and see if the 20 is built on a 15 block or 25 block. Many 25 4 strokes...

May be that the plaque is name of a prior owner and not builder.

I,ve seen the 13,s turned into duck boats. Someone has one for sale right now on facebook. My only concern would be with that bottom hull design if you get into mud i imagine its stuck till enough water to float. No sliding it around. And beware of the 13,s in rough water . If someone's sitting...

Still got most of first bx. of Hypersonics I ever bought. 3" #2 1 1/4 oz. First bird I pulled up on was about 25 yds and centered it . Gun kicked like 3.5" shells which I quit a long time ago. When I picked bird it was shot to pieces and all thru a L.Mod extended choke. Shot the rest of my birds...

I keep my j weights with tubing unhooked while in storage until ready to use or place in rotation. It helps some what with breaking. I,ve read where surgical tubing will last much longer but your bungee is a good option.

I do use those j weights w/bungee on some L.L.Bean coastals i ,ve got. Hook the j around the keel for storage but on my 72,s and Restles i use dipped 6 & 8 oz. strap weights dipped in black plasti dip and wrap lines around body then strap weight around neck. The dipped weights don,t tear up...

Were you using egg weights on your texas rigs with a loop on bottom end of line? If your going to texas rig those egg weights that slide up and down line tangle the least . Decoys i,ve Texas rigged I put a loop on both ends and simply run line thru attachment hole on decoy. Loop,s are there so...

Well things have changed a bit since last I bought. Now Amazon has the best selection of Camo and solids.

Now in Md. when you purchase your Fed. stamp you have the option of receiving it or not. If you purchased stamp on line they,ll mail it to you if you request it. Doesn,t come till following spring though. On your license printout it states whether you've purchased stamps as well as any other...

Plenty of Bismuth shot available thru Roto Metals for reloading which is the best way to go if your going to feed a gun that or any of the H. Density shot . I load it for my 20,s & 28. For 12 steel will still do everything I want . Bismuth hasn,t disappeared it just increased cost as most...
