Love the construction. The bending of the toe is great with the relief cut for easier bending, but the croos pieces give strength. Tried snow shoeing once, thought it would be easier.

Todays quality control is not there any longer. Haven't see a tool packaged well in a long time.

I'm all for putting a good paint on a project. Used Parker om my whaler conversion, but had to repaint every 4 years. Put fme on my southbay and it has lasted over 20 years. I have some petite duck boat paint for my next project. Like the FME. Prep is the big thing, I put one very thin coat...

Where?

I like to use West System. I use it for my ice boat and duck boat. If you want to thin it up, apply heat from a heat gun. The wood and all should be warm. I made planks for my ice boat and heated the epoxy once applied, let it thin and soak in the wood, apply another coat and clamp. It...

Ran fuel line in pvc under deck, left extra on each end. Keep the old line as a spare in the tool box. Had a west marine fuel line collapse and kept stalling..

Do short retrieves only with a long rope so the dog can't roam. If they dog won't come heal, he can't retrieve properly. Buy the book water dog and stick to it.

Democratic BS. No real facts, just talk. Remember obama said he shot, look at the news clip...

I don't have a shop, I work outdoors under shade. I do gun repair and had to limit the chemicals use. Try friendly chemicals, wife can smell mouse f r s.

Most fillet knives are decent. I too like a flexable blade. Just do not let it get dull.A fish cutter told me 2 fish and touch up with a ceramic stick. WORKS

Happy wife, happy life. Soon the kids will be saying, Dad we're going here with the boat. Find something safe and maybe a fishing boat.

I wear my inflatable always when in my duckboat. I changed to a auto inflate about 2000. Also have a regular pfd for a spare. The life you save may be your own.

Try a 13' whaler, I decked over the bow for fly fishing. Also have a Southbay for the tidel marsh. One boat just won't fit.

Tod, don't think it would be a problem. I would repack the bearings, have extra bearings seals and tools. I would go with new tires and have the older ones for spares, just don't overload the trailer. Never had a bearing fail. I use USA made bearings [timkin], not west marine [ china ]. Truck...

Steve, starting to see blacks showing up now on the island. Saw a group of about 14-16 over shinnecock.

When I first met my wife, she helped paint decoys before the season. Her dad was a carver in the 50's doing mantel birds, but never hunted, Bonac Birds - William King.

Anthony, it's nice to see some one with the interest, knowledge, and expertise to document our heritage of hunting in the north east. Always a pleasure to look at your photography. Keep up the great work.

Only way to check alignment on the trailer is to remove the boat. They are built in a jig and are pretty square. My axle was off [ used, too cheap to buy new ]. I took off tires, measured from tongue to each axle, also measure from tongue to each corner, tongue may be bent. While your the check...
