I think I'd put the handle in a drill press vise, and drill an oversize hole straight down through it. Then mark the shaft of the paddle with the drill bit inserted through the handle, and drill as near straight as possible down into the shaft with the oversize drill bit. Insert an undersize...

I need to make a new spray shield/dodger for my boat, too. I have the old one for a pattern. I thought about sending it up to Dave Clark but economics may force me to do it myself, or at least attempt it myself. I've thought about making a complete blind that zips up pretty snug for the...

You're going to need to find a new hair stylist..... Your black roots are poking out and showing ! :D Looks really nice ! Fred

I agree. Cabelas has been a big disappointment to me too ! We had a new store open in Noblesville, Indiana. I stopped in on my way to pick up my Sportspal canoe in a nearby town. I wanted to shop for 10 gauge shotgun shells and waist high waders. They had 6 boxes of Hypersonic BB 10 gauge in...

Thank you Pastor Larry ! Fred

I did that with deer hunting. I think I've settled down now after 35 plus years of Whitetail deer hunting. I did buy a couple of guns last year in anticipation of some rule changes, that never happened.... When I really got back into waterfowl hunting last year, I bought a MLB Chuck Huff...

I used a 5 hp Johnson on mine last year. It pushed it along steady. I'm going to try a 2 hp Yamaha this week and see how it does. The 2 hp has the fuel tank built into the motor which will eliminate that PIA gas tank in the boat. As far as a trolling motor, it should work fine. A lot of guys...

Great job ! You should be proud ! Fred

It seems like no matter what watercraft I have owned over the years, the darn trailer never went back far enough into the water to easily launch the craft. It was a problem last year with my duck boat but it won't be a problem this year ! I'm ordering this fold away bolt on hinge kit and...

Thanks for sharing the pictures ! The picture of the layout in the rolling seas looked like it would be a helluva ride..... Fred

You're living a dream Mike ! Thanks for sharing. My daughter and son in law lived in Alaska while he was in the service a few years ago. Unfortunately I never got to visit them while they were there.

I'm going to have to read up on how to can deer meat. I've heard a lot of people talk of canning meat but I've never done it before. I've chased deer since I was about 15 years old. That's over 35 years now ! Lots of good memories of hunting with my Dad. He wasn't a deer hunter until I got...

If they are the same ones I bought from Menards, those seat cushions don't work very well if its wet or damp outside. They tend to get water logged or soggy and compress.

I'd just like to say "Thank You !" for everyone's well wishes and encouragement. I greatly appreciate it.... I experience a lot of pain, stiffness, and soreness in my neck, arm, and back with any strenuous physical activity, not to mention the killer headaches that come on. The doctors say it...

Great presents indeed ! Glad to hear he's doing well and you're still able to hunt at 90...... A double blessing ! Fred

I have been searching for quite some time for a Sportspal canoe to hunt and fish out of. I finally located one a little over an hour away from my home. It's a Sportspal S-16 double end canoe in excellent condition ! It was advertised as a canoe/trailer/outboard package. I was able to talk the...

Thats a cool story ......

Thank you Tony for helping me figure out exactly what I have ! It measures 11'-6" bow to stern. The boat you posted is exactly what I have. Yes, it is a great little boat ! ! I bought the boat from a guy in Warsaw, Indiana named Ty Koon, whose wifes' father was somehow involved in Marks...

Tony I have a MLB Zack Taylor Wigeon. I really love the boat; however, I would like a thicker hull. I've often said this would be the perfect boat if it was made out of .100" aluminum. [/URL]

I'm thinking of doing something similar this year. I was at Harbor Freight and picked up a couple packages of grommets with the grommet installation tool. I think they were on sale for about $4-$5 per package. I saw that they had a welding blanket that was like 4'x6' or 6'x8' pretty...
