Steve, I hunt the boat parallel to the bank even when I am hunting solo. We/I use Momarsh Loungers and sit on the floor. Rich is now offering the 2.0 version of his flappers on the DI13. The original ones were shorter. The taller ones conceal the hunters better but sit a little off the side...

Steve, Please, in all seriousness, please, post some progress pictures of that. I would love to see your thoughts and ideas put into action for that boat. It's a great rig. You really have a talent for designing concealment boards.

Thanks Steve, and Bill, for the photos. My Duck Invader flappers lie somewhat low when they are down. I am looking for a way just to avoid having the grass on them get wet while underway. It will take some tinkering on my part this offseason. What you have shown here gives me some idea how I...

Steve, I'd love to see those boards in the down position. It seems like that leveling block on the gunnel is perfect. One of the ongoing issues that seems to present itself with flapper board setups is the spray off the bow/sides of the boat ending up on the flappers. I'm looking to modify my...

2-stroke: Store it any way you please. Just be careful if you store it with the prop facing skyward. If water gets trapped in there, it can crack. 4-stroke: Consult the manual. If they are stored in the wrong manner they can leak oil into the cylinders. I always recommend storing them upright...

A lot of what Roy said but also change the water pump immediately. Any motor that sits for a period of time the pump needs to be changed. I would freshen it up with all that Roy said but right off the bat just replace: - Plugs - Fuel pump (if it has one which I believe it does) - Water pump -...

One of the major direct-order shell companies already said there is a way around. Regardless, it's needless hassle in our lives. It's going to be interesting to see how these next several years pan out.

As others have said, it's a Hail Mary or just a soapbox bill. This is going to be the way for at least 2 years, hopefully not 4. Not to get political but even the majority of the sponsoring party won't let this fly. My real fear is they somehow push through an online ammo sale ban.

Official total in my town ended up being 27". The highest amounts here were 30-35". It snowed for over 24 hours straight, rather heavy.

We got pummeled here in northern NJ. Over 2' of snow. Thankfully, we seem to be all cleared out. Looking like more in the forecast which is not good. We are running out of places to put the stuff.

And even if he didn't perish in the lake, it's a possibility he froze to death. The living witness, unless the accused is shot, is probably going to be going through a lot more interrogation.

This is going to get messy and tangled before it gets better. Sounds like the one surviving witness, was the only witness, aside from the accused perpetrator. The altercation between the surviving witness seems very suspect. Truly sad all around.

Hi Rich, I use those cans in my equipment. I haven't tried them in a 2-stroke mix for the outboard though. I was concerned that the gas might cause problems with motor internals. I absolutely love that fuel for my small equipment though. That is actually what I was referring to with the...

Just as I suspected, one location that isn't 2+ hours from me here in NJ. It's a shame. It became apparent to me how bad the gas here actually is when I had to clean a carb on a brand new snowblower after sitting over the summer. I just have a gas rotation at the house now. The end of this...

I should add like others have said, sometimes it pays to do yourself. I would consider myself mechanically inclined as I've been wrenching on things since 10 years old. Youtube and service manuals are your friend. Earlier this season I did a completely light-overhaul of my 15hp. - New plugs -...

My labor charge is $200/hour. Marine diesel mechanic rates haha. I'm semi kidding, I do all the work on our twin CAT 575hp diesels in our sportfish as well. My wife tells me I might have OCD. I just really find gratification seeing things work perfectly and having a project go as planned.

Oh and also, do not EVER use an aftermarket water pump kit in those motors. 50% are garbage, 50% are decent but not even close to OEM. I had an aftermarket one lying around for mine. I put it in this season. Low and behold, I had trouble getting prime at the ramp somedays. It would take some...

I have a 2005 Johnson 15hp with the same general concept as yours. I tend to go way overboard and may be in the same situation as you soon. My way takes longer but I try to do everything the right way. 1) First and foremost, at the very least, flush the motor with fresh water if not a "Salt...

Sometimes people need to take a step back and realize what this is: It's a bunch of guys, putting out fake ducks, in an attempt to kill live ones. I know it's taken seriously and more so in certain circles. It's not worth your life. It's not worth drowning, getting shot, freezing to death, etc...

It is possible it is one of the original Higbee molds made by Duck Machine but that to me looks like just an earlier generation Higbee. I was clued in on my boat by a veteran of the sport who knew most of the makes of all-glass boxes produced out of NJ. That's a single piece transom. The...
