Like the other guys, I'd suggest asking permission. Ya never know.

Many times there's grain in the manure, which doesn't hurt the cause either.

I admit to buying toys. Lots of toys. Having had commercially made TDB style boats, blind boats, layout boats, mud boats and others, I just dont see the value in many of the duck boats being pushed today. Except for guides with a bunch of guys shooting sea ducks. Fifty grand and up is stout. I...

Those back up lights are not enough, without a back up camera on the trailer mounted a couple of inches above the light. Get on it men. ;):D

The CT program wasn't hunting either. The rules as proposed allowed a permittee to drive up in a boat and shoot them. Hunting over decoys would not have been allowed. Based on what you wrote, the difference between the MD and CT program was who did the culling. I hope a mechanism becomes...

You had me right up to the part about a draw. First cousin to various non resident restrictions for waterfowl hunting. These kinds of regulations will be the end of waterfowling.

The DEP tried it in CT about the same time. The plan was to have tags which cost $50 each if I recall. We paid for 10 or 20 tags, not positive which. Then the do gooders sued and got the legislature involved. Swan control is not going to happen here as far as I can tell. Do you think they...

I have to admit, I've never thought of putting back up lights on a boat trailer. That is a really slick mount you made. Ill never get used to what you can do at home with a computer and 3d printer.

I wish they would do that to the mute swans in CT. They destroy the submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and leave fertilizer everywhere. All the problems of resident geese and more, no hunting season.

You guys are doing it the best way I know of assuming you can access the nuts after final assembly. On the fiberglassed BBSB style hulls, it's nearly impossible to get at nuts years down the road. My BBSB's get a through hull eye bolt for that reason, and usually a cleat (with a backer) just...

We were Borg fans back in the day. Pretty sure he won Wimbledon 5 years straight from about 75-79. I believe Super Brat McEnroe beat him in the finals the next year. When he played, we were sure Borg was Steve McQueen cool.

I watch once in a while. Usually the championship matches for both men and women. I enjoy a good rally. The big turn off for me is the grunting crap. Especially the women, some sound like a wounded banshee. Or me blowing a duck call. :D

You are a better photographer as well. (y)

I do it the same way. You must be a more patient guy than I, as my boats always end up with a bump here, a drip there. :)

That's a really nice finish Jode. Do you roll, brush, or squeegee the resin? I know you said you did a lot of sanding and fairing in between coats.

The finish line is in sight. The last coat of resin has been applied. The final operation before painting is to trim the coaming bottom edge. There is only one photo of actual construction. It's the boat on edge so the thickened resin fillet could be applied. It's much tighter than it looks...

Those are good solutions to the square edge. I knew I could place a fillet around the coaming edge to create a curve, rather than 90 degree, but didn't want to butcher the original boat. What created the most difficulty when removing the coaming assembly was the four, inside, 90 degree vertical...

You haven't lost your touch. ;)
