yep, that works. hahaha

Looks good Charlie!

Gene, I don't feel that I've gotton too much done, just the steering. now i need to make it turn without someone in the back, hahaha. Im not even going to think about putting screws in the hull. I think that could lead to some serious problems, especially if one of the keelsons started to...

I want to put two 1-inch x 1/2-inch keelsons on my boat so that it actually turns at moderate speed, instead of sliding. I've read the Keelson Installation Section on this webpage, but still have some questions. My boat is fiberglass with gel coat (I assume gel coat). I plan to put them on...

Dave, for more stability in a canoe, you might try the stabilizers / outriggers that cabalas and others sell. I had a set on my older model Wenona Fisherman canoe and felt very comfortable in it with my dog. they slowed me down a bit, but i felt safer. i never hunted out of the canoe...

Kevin, I'm right-handed and left-eye dominant. I shot right handed. I just close my left eye just before i pull the trigger. That might be the wrong way to do it, but i don't see how I could change to left hand shooting at this point. You might want to check with a shooting instructor...

John, Here's the proto-type of my new configuration making use of the original blind. The horizontal dowels will be replaced by aluminum tubing and a rod will be inserted into the pvc for strength. This version gives me much more visibility, some overhead protection and concealment and it...

John and Mark, I figured out how to modify the original blind and rain hood to make a partial cover with fliptop. stay tuned for some pics. all you'll need to buy is a few 3/4-inch oak dowels.

I actually spoke to Old Town Canoes/Kayak customer service and they logged on to the Surf to Summit webpage to look at the pic. they didn't have a clue as to what model that came from.

Was wondering if anyone out there knows where to get a kayak (or other) seat like the one shown; molded with fold down back support. I've tried many of the kayak stores, Old Town Kayak, Cabelas, REI, etc., but no one has one. It's not going in a kayak and i don't want one of those kayak seat...

John, the aluminum tubing is 3/4"OD and 9/16"ID. It's the same size that came with the TDB. The ID isn't that critical as long as you get something strong. It's 4 ft long. I just want to reiterate that, although it might look good on paper and in my garage, it's only somewhat pratical...

here's a pic of it rolled up for stowing.

Mark and John, Here are the basic components of my modified blind. - bought a cordura field trial blind (Better LCS Retriever Blind) from Lion Country Supply (in PA), just the material, not the poles. no sewing required if you use this. - bought extra aluminum poles from onlinemetals.com...

Mark, I made a customn back (starboard) and flip-top for my 14ft classic. i used the top a few times, but found that i was missing out on some birds or it was taking too long to get in shooting position, so i no longer use it. MLBob made one for his without modifying the starboard side...

Andy, I think you'll find that you will only reinforce that insecure feeling in your dog if you confort her when your neighbors set off firecrackers (or during thunderstorms). you might try playing with her and having a grand ole time the next time or even walking her around the...

I ordered mine today Gene. Thanks.

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I've been studying the problem a bit (mostly looking for a car with better fuel ecomomy). The skeg guard certainly seems like it would prevent the motor from digging into a shallow river bottom, preventing the prop from grinding on the gravel. I assume that's...

I'm surprised to not find any previous posts regarding prop guards; the good, the bad, the ugly. So now that i've ruined a perfectly good prop, i figure i'll invest in a guard (and a new prop). So the question is, what's the best kind to get and which ones to avoid. I've seen some with skeg...

You should have a TV show...I'd watch. Thanks.

thanks guys. great info and ideas.
