WOW Dani, that's a fabulous plan. I can't help with logistics but 2 thumbs up for your plan. I'll likely be in Arizona in January for bow Javelina & deer, plus gamble's quail, doves and maybe even ducks. Wooohooo.

Bob, I had one back in the mid '80's. Serviceable but a bit light weight. Would crab a bit when paddled but nothing severe. I think oil canning was pretty common with that bottom construction. Not a bad skiff and can't remember why I sold it.

Hahaha - that's even funnier knowing what you do for a living:)

My advice would be to contact a taxidermist who specializes in euro mounts and/or uses dermestid beatles for skull cleaning and ask for their recommendations. Here is one I googled up but have no experience with: https://www.skulltaxidermy.com/index.html.

Dani, Goodyear Endurance are what came on my trailer and so far, with 12-13k miles are performing just fine. After this thread debuted I did a little digging and found out that these Goodyear tires are now made in the US. Goodyear seems to have put a lot of engineering effort into them -...

Good job Kyle, you make it look easy. Took me many years to finally get a Turkey with a bow.

I'm actually in need of a hoodie. Can't help with design - lost my crayons.

Wonderful work Gary.

Oh OK, Dave I'll try and play nice.

Not to worry Bob, after 15 years it's hardly noticeable[cool]

Thanks Dani, that was nice. Figured you'd be pumped for the Turkey opener. Enjoy the day.

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/
