I would assume you can scrape that old paint off with a 5 in 1 tool, sand it, and spray it again. Not sure on the brass. By the way, how much does that boat draft? I heard the estuary draws 6", then 4", then 2". Just looking for clarity

Agreed tod. The wife wants to meet beaver when we visit dan and jack next. Appears much less stocky than our friends' chessie who's a big friendly blob but a comfortable 90lbs thin. She wants a WPG, which I can't agree with. Even with the heater on the boat, which they will both be fighting for.

Question for folks with AWS. What is the shedding level? We have a Brit and she's rated as a "mid level" shedder, seems to have two major shedding events during the year, and a constant stream of hair coming off throughout the remainder, but nothing like a lab. I saw online AWS are rated as low...

I got a similar one as Dani off of Amazon. I trailer with it, and the blind stays up so it got a few rips in it. It lasted 2 years in the CT darkness. That being said, I probably could have gotten 3-4 years off of it if the bow didn't have an ice berg on top and when we went to take the cover...

Last year I participated in the CT survey. This year I participated in the RI one (though I didn't hunt there this year) and the wing survey. Then I received a request for the CT one at the end of January 2022 for the 21-22 season. I haven't filled it out yet, I called and left a message with a...

Thanks Scott. This would work if I had a winch on the back of the tender. This pumpkinseed is just way too heavy to try and lift up by hand or just a rope in itself. It's a good idea though, something I will consider when screwing around with this.

I'll have to crawl in there after the sling comes off. Not sure how far I can reach, it's been some time.

Steve, considering the bow portion of the well slopes towards the bow itself, like a ramp, should I be continuing the "bow" to about 2" from the edge of the where the front of the boat meets the water, or just adding a tow ring and a skeg to its current condition. The drawing you made shows both...

Agreed. Steve if I have any further questions I'll hunt you down at the show so we can discuss in person. I'll be fresh out of the sling after 3 weeks, which will be a welcome relief.

Steve, Realized I never answered your question. She does try to dive when we pull her. I've also not pulled her at any speed because of this. Even if the diving was corrected, I imagine a skeg would need to be added. The spot I want to go is 6 miles from the launch. 2 of that is slow on the...

I'd be curious how much buoyancy it would take to get tank to float. Though I guess a bunch of foam would probably be enough. Maybe a few milk crates of lead in there...

Steve, Mostly. Would the foam also go on the sides of the well? That is to say, would it look like this from below (photo below).

Steve/Dave. Apologies for the picture quality. The layout has got to be 400lbs and my right arm is in a sling after getting my bicep attached, so the tractor isn't working today. I wasn't sure how well the thing could be towed with the box that extends into the water, certainly doesn't have a...

Curious if anyone has a towable layout they'd be willing to send a photo of the bottom. Tried search and Tony H mentioned a photo but I can't find it. We have a big two man that we tow our but it's pretty slow. Was wondering if the bottom could be changed slightly to tow a little faster (not 30mph)

Larch would be a good one to use if you can find it. It's rot resistant and always pretty cheap if you have a mill nearby. We used it for our raised beds. The 2x10 stock I used may outlive my career.

George, not possible. My brother-in-law is in his 40s and his father is in his 80s. That would put his grandfather in the 100-120 age group. No longer alive

How high can you set it? Is there a guide to reference?

Sucks getting old. Everything breaks. And. It just on the boat!

I'm just lazy mike. The thought of trying to manual crank up my DF40 (250ish lbs) sounds awful. I already tore my bicep moving logs, I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and work smarter not harder! Running 6" shallower doesn't sound bad. I already run pretty low if I trim the motor up. That...

Dave, Mike Asid (also a member) recently got some of these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B077H4B4V1/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_9J92S4A85WEY4FYDHF8G?psc=1 Maybe the poly won't stick as much?
