Eric, Is this one of your builds? If not, who?

So, another question that I'm sure you have evaluated - what's your feeling on the stiffer sidewall on an ST vs LT to lesson the potential for sway? Is it important?

I have seen the reports of trailer tire failures and until your post didn't consider the LTs as a viable replacement. - I will now. My trailer is 2 1/2 years old and has about 12-13,000 miles on these tires. I'll file this discussion in my memory bank for future use. Thanks.

Yes, I think you're reading that right. This is new to me so I'm learning also.

That's interesting Tod. I hadn't heard that before about st vs lt tires for trailers. I appreciate your knowledge and experience on the subject, but it really goes against what I'm seeing from other sources like https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=219 Not doubting your...

Yes Larry it's sad and, unfortunately, happens a lot.

Dani, When you jack up the trailer, grab each tire and try to wiggle it side to side. If a tire is loose the bearing may be shot and need to be replaced.

Probably best to call Lou and discuss it with him. I suspect he knows the answer.

I've used a variety of duck boat paints over the years including Parkers. The finest, toughest, and longest lasting is FME (flat marine enamel) from Lou Tisch at Lock, Stock and Barrel - also a member here. http://www.lockstockbarrell.com/

Congrats on the new boat Ed. I'm using my first kayak, bought in July, 3 times a week here in Texas - I turned 70 last May. Do a google search for 'Lake Poygan Gunning Box'. Lots of pics available.

What a fabulous day Dani, I'm glad you got out and made some memories. Hooray for Belle - she learned something new today👍

WOW, an amazing outcome Jim. Any idea what happened with your truck to cause it?

Mike Trudel has carved them. Not sure if he'd be willing to part with any or carve more. Best to contact him directly. Fun to hunt over for sure.

Jay, The 495s have removable liners as do the 465s. I can't tell you the difference in the two models - never owned the 465s

Ditto - Atlas 495's. I've had mine for at least 15 years. I have extra liners but rarely use them. Pull the liners, turn gloves inside out and they'll be dry in the morning. Most people I hunt with eventually wear 495's, either gifts from me or buy their own.

That's quite a beast, is a 29 hp SD going to be enough? Any idea of draft? I know how you attack a project - probably be ready for a test run before ice out. [cool]

This surprises no one who knows you Phil - you've been too quiet lately [cool] Figured you were up to something LOL. That's a pretty good sized boat. Estimated weight? Hull thickness? Estimated motor HP?

Dave, I looked through the DHBP cookbook and didn't find any recipe using cream. Sounds interesting though, please post if you find it again.

Nice fish Dave.

When you are seeing Swans the migration is all but over.
