Capt. Jack... HOLY SH*%!!!!!! - I've known sh*% eaters in the past, but usually from the yard, not out of the toilet... Lesson here, put the seat down in this instance only... I'm still a big believer that salt water fixes all... Take Gus to the docks and make him fetch until your arm...

I never wanted to paint my old Evinrude. I used to just put a camo cabelas deoy bag over top of it. The bag was about 10 or 15 bucks and covered a 25 evinrude without a problem.

John, Will do... I'm splitting wood and checked in on a beer break. I'll get back to you later. Kevin

I'm running late getting my new boat ready this year. Family stuff... Anyhoo, I've been himming and hawing as what materials I would use to build a sturdy blind frame for my sneakboat. I'm not necessarily using the boat the way it was intended- I'm going to hunt two guys and a dog out of it...

Wispete beat me to it, so I'll second checking the fuel line and the bulb. If any connections are going bad and you're sucking air, you're SOL...

I'm truely sorry you had to say goodbye. Noone should have to endure the pain that is felt when our furry buddies near the end and leave decisions to be made. After my father passed, a very wise, and very close friend of my family encouraged me to tell stories of him to honor fond memories...

Wow Bill!!! You have more patience than me. I was going to construct a frame and take it to a local canvas shop to have them put a skin over it. I never even thought about doing it myself. You did a really nice job.

I have a Broadbill, but I'm pretty sure it's a little different than yours. It's the Clark Craft kit, that's glass over wood. If I'm correct, I think your boat is all glass, similar to the blackjack and the widgeon. My particular boat is only rated for a 20 hp. A dealer up the road found a brand...

I used Petit on my old starcraft deep v, and switched to FME when I redid the Broadbill, so my comparison is not apples to apples - the starcraft being aluminum and broadbill glass/epoxy. I'm happy with FME and Lou was a pleasure to speak with. That in itself is more than enough reason for me...

Thanks Mike, I was thinking along the same lines with the camo job - it's a duck boat, run it. I took another pic out in the sun this afternoon. I think it looks better than under flourescent lights. We'll see...

I've posted a few pics before asking questions along the way. Thank you all for the help and advice. I pulled the rattel can trigger on the new motor last night. After way too much debate, I went with a 20hp Honda. The power to weight is about the best around; 2 strokes weigh in at about...

The moment I saw that bow flare, I knew what it was - 18' C-Hawk. I love those boats, and I have my eye on one that I'm hoping to pick up over the winter - (I'm tire kicking until someone is READY TO OFFLOAD after boating season). I like the low handrails you put on the bow. Were they...

This is a really cool documentary that you'll be able to look back on in years to come, and guys like me love checking in on progress! You seem like you gotten a lot done, and fast. I can't imagine how long it'll take me to build one someday, my truck has been on jack stands for 2 days for a...

Got it! Thanks for clearing that up Matt.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm forging ahead with it anyway. What does (NDR) stand for in the title? I can't figure it out and it's bugging me. Thanks, Kevin

Congrats Capt. Jack and best wishes with the pup! By the way, when does wire line season start heating up for you guys?

Sounds like you're talking about cockpit flooring??? It shouldn't matter if thats the case. We all have seams in our boats, becuase they're all longer than 8'. Personally, I've recently learned that West Systems Epoxy is my friend. I'm ready to coat the entire back porch with it...

On Monday, August 25th, 2008, I received a phone call from an uncle while I was at work that my father was in stage 4 of esophageal cancer – he told me that Dad had 6 months – 2 years to live. Obviously, I was devastated. On Thursday, August 28th, 2008, my best friend in the whole world passed...

WOW! How lucky was the owner that the motors were up enough to keep off the pavement! He's got some serious $ sitting in the passing lane of that highway.
