    new boat...any blind suggestions

    i agree with carl on this 100 percent about transom issues. if you have your heart set on a mud motor look into a flat bottom for optimal performance. running mud motors standing up and and with a 18 hp takes some getting use to. ive seen guys with that style run 9 and 13hp motors, they were...

    Help! mud motor vs other options?

    surface drives have no problem at all with weeds, i run a longtail and go through some hardcore hydrilla and lily pads no problem. airboats are illegal in alot of places during duck season so id check before investing into one. also, airboats are SUPER loud and expensive. i hear them all night...

    Opinions on Benelli M2

    I have a M2 and love it, i had already had a 935 so wanted to upgrade to the M2 and not the SBE2. fits me very well,light and stays very clean because it is inertia driven. put 1000 rounds through it this summer and it hasnt had any malfunctions. was also looking in to the beretta 391 urika but...

    beaver tail moter

    Yep, sure can. go to fisherbeavertail.com and they sell a kit where all you have to do is bolt your engine on the frame and run the throttle line to the handle. probably be better off buying a used mud motor for cheaper cause they go for 1200 i beleive.

    hunting ethics

    its kind of an unwritten rule in my neck of the woods, if you show somebody a spot, they dont hunt there unless they are with you. go ahead and ask him, he will probably say yes and being holding back the real answer. If he showed you then he had to realize the possibility that you would come back.

    i dont have one but i have hunted out of boats with longtails and surfacedrives. longtails are much lighter but hou will enjoy the speed of a surface drive. i am only familar with mud budys and havent heard of any problems directly. if you plan to hunt out of your boat the shortails have shorter...

    NDR - checking trolling motor

    first i would pop the terminals on the battery, be careful not to get any liquid on you, and if you dou wash your hands, check to see if there is water in those terminals,if empty, fill with distilled water, if there is water take a volt meter after you charge it. those tests can rule out the...

    Boston Whaler Duck Boats?

    if you ruin that pretty shiney white paint job, yes, it will hurt the resale value if you plan to hang on to it then you could make a blind with bimini hardware and have an awesome rig. ive seen carolina skiffs with collapsible blinds and the guys claim pretty good success.
