Scott, I have never refurbished a boat, but when I built new I tried to think of potential problems to eliminate such need. Plenty of evidence from others would suggest elininating foam altogether and going with a sealed floor compartment with inspection hatches. Coosa board, again no...

Beautiful lines!

We stand on the shoulders of giants. RIP RM

Ugh, another waterlogged hull! My dad used to call me a sucker for punishment! You did such a great job on your Broadbill that I am sure it will turn out beautiful. RM

As flawed beings, I believe dogs make us better people. I am grateful for their unconditional love. RM

Yup, can't sew them for what it costs to just buy them from Diane. Love mine! RM

Newly released video from Aimpoint:

Kris, This is a new video released by Aimpoint which features several individuals not familiar with shotgun shooting as well as advanced shotgun aficionados. RM

Believe it or not, I am not a fan of gadgets in general. I love the idea of an instructor which is the premise of the Acro S2. It doesn't change the mechanics of shooting if you follow the same principles of shooting properly. It is simply a coach looking down your barrel telling you where you...

First bird with Acro S2. About 35 yard crossing shot. No time to think about aiming or consciously using the dot. It is simply a reference point that tells you where the shot will hit. Seemed to have fixed the sliding issue I had earlier by swapping out mounting plates. RM

Midwayusa has them on sale for $290. Tough to beat that price and it will pay for itself in just a few boxes of shells. RM https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101316863?srsltid=AfmBOoowxlapO6bAmZUHQ5ur9iD7TLbeFkx56UFN0IcE3lMi-MB6dcvW&pid=396803

For reference, I put a 2hp Mud Runner on my double ended 14 ft Kara Hummer and it as fast as I care to go. RM

I like your idea Capt Rich. I get strange looks crappie fishing in a grassed up boat! RM

Tim, My first boat, a Kara Hummer, I used plastic aviary netting and it worked just fine with raffia. If you are using native grass to camo the webbing would be easier IMHO. Why not a combination of both? The webbing added last could help secure the netting using screws to hold the webbing down...

Henry, You had me with "clean and easy." Thanks for the tip. RM

Boom Baby! Count me in. Small price to pay if it makes working with epoxy easier and less messy. RM

I've always wanted to try that stuff but I figured the corkscrew mixing thingy on the end would prohibit more than one use. RM

A variation of Steve Sanford's webbing ideas, particularly for wooden boats, is to double up the webbing with the top layer a little longer so there is room for grassing material. Double stitch perpendicular to the length every 4-6 inches to create loops. Treat the mating surfaces of both the...
