cordless drill and some deck screws, edge of tire near sidewall, can't be plugged....[;)]

All very true, but theres' the right way, and what you can get away with..[laugh] Next best fix, weld a replacement skeg on, [;)]

I've seen skegs on well used commercial outboards which were worn almost completely down to the base, still chugging along with no apparent issues. Cheap "fix", cut it off and grind a new shape to it.

If you use resin, thin it down so it soaks in better and to flow into all the nooks and crannies.. I used coal tar epoxy once years ago, and while it looked like it completely covered, it didn't quite get into all the cracks and thus soaked up water...

I've always heard the "don't need a warrant" nonsense, not exactly true..They can not enter your domicile without a warrant, that would be an illegal search and seizure protected by whatever amendment, Game officers included, Of course if you give them permission then all bets are off. People...

There's NO reason for him to lose his temper, much less write a chicken s#it ticket, and they wonder why some folks get hostile making matters worse... Talk to the prosecutor. Then if you feel strongly enough make a complaint, Maybe the chief first, then IA when you get nowhere with the chief...

Some of these guys like to make the rules up as they go, and why on earth would you let one into your house to inspect your freezer without a search warrant??

Steve, I was told by a paint dealer that the paint in the sample jars were not the actual paint formulation but just for color comparison...You have any thoughts on that?

Lights?, we don need no stinken lights!...Lol As long as everyone else has there's on, we're good!...[sly]

These boats really aren't designed for a motor, or much weight on the stern, and are relatively narrow for the length. I made up a sailfish hull which is 10' , and it came out nice, but no way would a outboard have worked. You would also have to put twin keels under it to account for the V, or...

The mix I use for stink bugs only has about 1/4 cup or less, I just make it by eye now, it works even at the lesser amounts, The mix also has white vinegar in it, again by eye, not sure what the vinegar adds to the mix, I'm guessing the soap alone is what does the deed.

Thats good to know, I haven't seen any here,.. yet... I use a similar soap mix for stink bugs, except it also has white vinegar in it. Works very well.

If it works well then why not? We used cedar 4x4's years ago and they hold up.

you can get copper ground wire by the foot at HD, and Lowes, probably need #6, You can peen the ends easy

Know anyone with a 3D printer? They can model what you want and print it with one of the plastics.

You don't have Eiders in New Jersey?, Reason I say this, is we here on Long Island have had a big influx of Eiders and Scoters in the bays near an inlet in the last two years. We're not that far away from New Jersey, you may have them around your more Northern inlets...

With that load, probably a little under powered, not that a 25 is significantly more... Good luck finding anything new that needs to be shipped in, All dealers are crying for motors..

probably take less time to make new ones....

Have you tried bamboo? very stiff, very light, and it floats.. I have a 16' pole about 1 1/8" at the base that I heat treated, usually just use it as a depth sounder, edge finder, but the other day I needed it to pole my 21' skiff a short distance and it worked very well, better then I expected...

so sorry, it's always a hard decision
