I would agree with the canoe as your watercraft of choice! I have spent a week or more canoeing in the BWCA here in Mn for the last thirty years. The old town is a great choice for the water you are looking at, it can carry a Cheryl good load, tracks well, easy to pull or portage thru skinny...

I just got off the phone with JD Dristributing, very helpful about the project. Ordered all my supplies and they had free shipping, which is always nice. Going to go with running a support up the middle, reglass the previous support sites and add struts at 90 to the central support. The...

Excellent point.! I will order enough cloth to do a layer over the entire cover prior to putting the braceing back. Thanks again

I live in Minnesota but we don't get that much snow.[w00t] This year was 79". My boat is stored indoors so the snow build up is not an issue, other than when I travel. The cover was sagging in the center and when I inspected the supports they were cracked thus the redo. The wood in the supports...

So are you thinking I should cover the entire surface or just the areas that I removed the old support structures? I can post exact measurement but the cover is about 9'x5'. Thanks Bob

I posted some time ago about repaint to my Duck Wrangler cover and have finally had time to start. I have the old supports off and obviously need to sand the edges down. Do I need to lay down a layer of biaxial cloth after I get things evened out? I am going to change the support...

Dani That was a fantastic trip! Thanks for sharing

She a tiller or console? Should be nice on the river! How much does she draft?

Phil That looks like a beast! Look forward to seeing what you have instore for it.

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Roy, Is Testors available at a hardware store? Or do I have to special order it?

Do you spray the block with matte polyurethane after painting? I thought it may help with the paint holding up longer?

Perfect Thanks Steve!!

Well now that it is too damned cold to cross country ski here in the winter wonderland of Minnesota I am looking at sprucing up some Decoys. I know there was a tutorial somewhere on using paint from Home Depot that had the specific colors even listed but I can?t seem to locate it. With the...

Looks like a great trip! I would love to give seaduck hunting a try, definitely on the bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

There is not any noticeable cracking on the top of the cover. I would like to get some ?crown? built into the cover as water pools in the center big time, I think the pooling contributed to the supports cracking. I am leaning toward removing the current supports and replacing them as I think...

It sounds like I should remove and replace the stiffeners. If I do would I replace them with wood again or hard foam as Steve suggested? Thanks gents!

My fiberglass cover for my DW-15 is cracked on the underside, I want to repair the cracks before they spread to the top. What type of Fiberglas is going to give me the most strength. I need to wrap around the wood stringers to reinforce the top. Thanks

Very sorry for the loss. We have lost two beloved companions in the last five years. It hurts but they do live on in our hearts. Gods Speed Kodi

A memorable hunt for sure. Most young guns wouldn?t sacrifice to hold a spot. Well done. Flooded timber is on my bucket list........some day!
