Bill, I'm partial to 4-in-1 wading jackets. I do alot of wading, so I need the shorter length. I appreciate the versatility of the zip-out liner, and I'm not inclined to buy multiple jackets for the season -- certainly not along the lines of the EST, MST, or LST idea. Opening week I...

Scott, Follow this link: http://tsgcustom.com/JsckPlate.aspx This company specializes in building jackplates for "micro" flats boats in Florida. I have no idea what these units cost.

It's possible that you have a batch of the original Hevi-Steel with rolled crimps. I believe there were quite a few folks that had problems with the original Hevi-Steel load -- even in 3.5" chamber guns -- because the final shell length was long. I bought a case of 3" 1 1/8 oz #4...

You witnessed a "seiche." Wikipedia has a good explanation of what a seiche is.

Alan, The above responses are spot on. Boats like the Grand Banks Dory can be nested. For duck hunting, I believe pirogues can be nested. You won't be able to put coaming or decks on them and you'll have to keep internal framing to a minimum with no cross-braces. There are a few plans...

My understanding is that Ruger is no longer manufacturing the target gray stainless barrels. I've shouldered a couple of stainless/synthetic Rugers. I agree with Charlie, the balance point of the gun is too far forward. I know of one individual who put a heavy recoil reducer in the...

Mark, Which splice termination did you use to connect the grounds from each light to the single ground on the plug? Were you able to find it at the auto parts store?

Kirk, I found the standards for backyard builders so I think I have a better understanding of the ratings now. First, you didn't assume that the boat is a "jon boat" did you? Second, what is the transom WIDTH on your boat? Did you measure gunwale to gunwale, or did you measure at...

Kirk, I am not familiar with the USCG calculations for capacity and maximum horsepower, but I assume that there are variables. I suggest you first re-examine the calculations and check for errors. Then, look to see if some of the variables you are using are too conservative. According...

Ed, From your description, that's the same boat that was off Route 78 (near Missisquoi NWR) during the fall. I believe it's a Devlin BB2. I never stopped to look at it. Even passing by at 50 mph I could tell she was a bit rough. Lee's right. Repairing that boat may be more labor...

I've had very good luck with 1 1/8 oz. #3 Winchester Xperts (1550 fps). I have had terrible luck with Winchester Supreme High Velocity (1450 fps). The 1 1/4 oz. #3's produced an astounding number of cripples. I've only used Fasteel one time. They were 1 1/4 oz. #3's (1425 fps) and they...
