Craig Shire here, the other Craig S. I was born and raised in Toledo. Moved up the road to the Detroit are in '90. Thinking about moving back to Toledo and commuting to Detroit for work just because real estate is so muh cheaper and I could send my kids to better schools. If you were just...

Andrew, I would definitely list them separately. More photos, both clear shots of boats interior and staged shots of them in hunting situations will help. People like pictures. In the listing for the scull boat you might consider either a link to the old sculling website with some...

Sources and ideas for UHMW: http://www.crownplastics.com/driftboats.htm www.mcmaster.com search for UHMW bar Jay Anglin - Have you seen these boats? Rotomolded drift boats like whitewater canoes. Should be pretty indestructable, but not sure what you are looking for in a...

Tod, Just to clarify, this was setup from the factory and not something I came up with (I'm not that smart) You could look at something like this as a mount, using a suitable backing plate on the inside of the hull. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1A344 Or for $120 you could...

Here is one of my NDR boats - '84 Supra Rider inboard ski/wakeboard boat. 21' length, approximate weight of 3000 lbs. 330 hp big block chevy. Overall view of the trim tab on the back (sorry for the image quality, phone cam only today). Very basic - a piece of 1/4" stainless bolted to...

That looks like the Halfway Creek access. I've hunted in the back bay there a few times, but never done very good - probably need to scout more and get all the way out to the peninsula for some better action. The event sounds like a good time and my son and I will likely attend. We may...

I tend to agreee that the 3 mainstream magazines tend to be a little wide and shallow. They tend to cover a little of everything for everybody wiht the end result being that anybody a above a rookie finds the articles repetitious. I may occasionally buy one at the newsstand based on eye candy in...

Have a look at the lines and offsets for the cruising boat Delta here: http://dragonflycanoe.com/stephens/progress7.html It is described as an evolution of the BBSB. Take the lines and offset for the 13' boat and increase the spacing of the forward stations to stretch the boat out to...

You might want to check our "The Dory Book" by John Gardner. It has a good history of all the various dory designs and variations as they evolved, complete with lines drawings, offsets and a brief buld summary for most of the boats. It is also interesting to note that many of the early dories...

Here is a link to a areview of the Drill Doctor by a guy who is pretty hardcore into tools/materials/rock buggy builiding tech. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-DrillDr/index.html He seems to think it is well worth the price.

Mike, Take a look at www.braintan.com for the traditional way and step by step instructions for the do it yourselfers. I've never done it, but it definitely looks like a lot of work with the thinning and the breaking after the smoking. Maybe somebody from that site would be willing to...

I think most of the N. Dakota and other great plains/central flyway guys hang out at www.groundblinds.com just kidding - that would probably be a pretty boring forum.

I saw this on a small canal off an open river while driving around Saturday looking at ducks and people ice fishing on ice that you couldn't pay me to go on. I guess he never got out to bail after all the heavy rains we had a week ago. Now his boat is not only sunk, but frozen in. I can...

Sailfish (sunfish) conversion Here is how I did mine. I started with a sailfish hull I found on craislist.com for $20. The sailfish was the smaller sister to the sunfish. Overall length is 13’ and width only 36” inches at the widest part. This is the hull as I got it. Portions of...

Wasn't there a similar debate here earlier this year where duck hunting author Worth Matheson, made disparaging remarks about "camo autoloaders"? If I recall correctly the opinion of many here was that cosmetics and semi auto capability do not make a person less of a sportsman, and personal...

Here are some commercially available plans for a Merrymeeting style boat for strip building. http://www.sandypointboatworks.com/merrymeeting.html Someone here built this boat earlier this year and posted photos, but that was probably before the format change. Maybe he will check in and can...

Jim Rehl’s post below about the Jim Foote painting and the museum he saw the original in inspired me to head on down there today for another look around. I usually go there a couple of times a year to look around. This time I took some photos so you can have a virtual tour of the museum...

I don't have any personal experience but here is an idea to think about. I saw this in the Cabelas waterfowl catalog and it got me thinking: http://www.cabelas.com/...+blind&noImage=0 This is too big and not cheap for what you are looking to accomplish. Maybe try an old golf umbrella...
