how come your not running that cherry over to your neighbor and have him make some boards. hate to see that nice trunk go to firewood.

I took a ride once with a guy who had a 35 hp on a high box. couldn't see at full speed, everything was a blurr. really a 25 is insane on that boat. way too fast.

I have a bankes freedom and currently do not have a kicker. but I would think it would be easy to take a 6hp or so and stick it in the front cabin of the boat . if you need it just take it out and clamp it to the lip on the back of the boat raise the main and use the motor to get you home.

it is a shelliinger , nothing less than a 25 hp on the back. Roy had to make it to do over 50 knots none of them boats go slow

I just ordered some non blush epoxy and some cream epoxy filler to try on the geese. will post up some results when it arrives. kevlar sounds like it would work but may just be too much work involved with final sanding and getting it right.

just has me worried, I know that if water intrudes on a tile wall , say the grout is not sealed or has some spots where water can come in , the tile will fall off the wall. after the mastic underneath becomes soft. I may stick with epoxy and a sawdust slurry for filling holes and sealing, I...

steve, what kind of mastic did you apply? I was going to burlap a dozen herters geese I have, I am concerned about water softening up the mastic thru some shot holes in the future. what are your thoughts on this, will the mastic soften up if the decoys develop a hole in them?

my father has that same lathe in his basement, I used to make jet heads and other lures on it when I was in high school, he uses it all the time. not very powerful but just enough to get things done. First time I have seen one similar to it.

you can still buy that russell knife today and it looks the same quite a bit more money though http://www.agrussell.com/knives-by-maker-dh-russell/c/943/

I have a project I want to do on a decoy that will have wood with a clear finish and I want it to be OK in the water and have some UV protector. can anyone recommend a clear coat that will not turn cloudy or soften when in the water? or turn cloudy in the sunlight?

for starting out making some smooth wood gunners, I would make myself a shave horse. easy to do and there are some pictures and plans online. you can put a simple one together in a couple of hrs work, with some wood you probably have laying around. then with a draw knife and a spoke shave you...

I have an LT40 super hydraulic here in central NJ I think your best bet would be to take the wood to the sawmill, it would be way to much setup and cost too much to bring a portable out to your site to mill that much lumber. most days a sawyer wants 1-2 thousand brd ft to make it...

two of my sxs have screw in chokes and 90% of the time I have a pair of modified chokes in the guns. ones a 20 and the other a 12 my 10 ga sxs if full/full and seems to do just fine with geese and sea ducks with that combo

I am a big fan of white pine also, it is so hard in this area to find cedar that is clear. once in a blue moon will you cut into a block and not find a knot or branch internal to the wood very easy to find clear white pine, just because of the way the tree grows. usually there is a 3-4 ft...

I don't think you can ever get the ducky taste out of them you just have to find something that compliments the flavor. on a smoker /cooker works great. also green olives with some blue cheese. have stir fried also with great results

I don't have any pics, haven't been bringing my camera this year. I am in central NJ, so if you want to take a look at it. let me know.

I purchased the new bankes pumpkin seed this year. it is wider and a little deeper than the older style layout. have hunted it a few times in the ocean and it has performed great. lots of room and no binding of your feet with waders on. it's not as big as their hercules, it is small enough that...

not in anything more than a 6" chop them roy boats do move, I used to have one with a 25 scared me at full throttle

don't buy her a vacuum cleaner don't ask me how I know

goldens is good decoy paint. I have a set of divers that are now 15 yrs old. I sealed the bodies with west system epoxy, sanded . then two coats of gesso, then final painting with goldens. they have held up the best. others that I have painted in oils seem to take more maintenance off season...
