I have a 5 hp Suzuki outboard on my merrymeeting scull/TDB 16/Todd boat. I recently upgraded to this motor because I wanted more power and reverse. I was hoping the reverse would allow me to clear the prop. Saturday I took my son out for youth day and fought weedles all the way in and much of...

I have a relatively new to me G3 16 foot side console with a 60 2 cycle. It does not seem to rev high enough or give me as much speed as I think it should. Specifically it only revs to a hair over 4k and top out at 26-27 mph. It should rev to 4500 to 5500 at full throttle. When I bought the...

I would like to find a PDF that I can wear while hunting from a boat. Does anyone have any experience with any of the inflatable PDFs? I would prefer the suspender style but I am not sure if they would impact my gun mount. There is also the option of a chest pack style The last option...

I am in the process of purchasing a 16 1/2 foot aluminum boat for fishing and hunting. It is a g3 with a 60 hp motor. As I expect to trailer this often and over long distances and rough roads, I plan to add a transom saver. What I am not sure of, is should a I get a solid one or a spring...

I am helping my son repair a fiberglass canoe. The are several deep cracks that we have sanded down and are now ready to fiberglass. After speaking with a friend that knows more than I do I found out the I was doing may repair incorrectly in the past. Specifically I would apply a small piece...

My German Short Hair has a heart that says go but a body that says no. Specifically, he has a bad hip. We have been giving him an aspirin but it is not helping enough. Does anyone have any more effective treatments?

The state of Maine has told me that on Saturday, which is Youth Day in the southern portion of the state and also in the middle of Early Goose Season, that I can have my son with me or my gun but not both. My original plan was to take my son duck hunting in the morning and as the action slowed...

I have a small crack on the lip to the front deck on my TDB16, aka Merrymeeting Bay Scull. This is the second one of these boats I have had and both had the same issue. I think this is cause is placing weight on this deck while putting the bow weight out, but it can also be cause by storing it...
