Hello All,
That time of year once again, headed out this past week in-between classes to get a jump start on prepping my boat a 92' 14 TDB Maine Classic. Purchased last year from a member here and absolutely love it so far.
Made a few upgrades, LED interior lighting, Floor Matts, Decoy Storage, Transom, and upgraded wiring. Also refurbished the blind and things are looking good for the new season here up north... just need the cold temps!
Here on LI the favored cover is "Salt-Hay" one of the least enjoyable chores at the start of every season is harvesting it.. Here's a few photo's of the progress so far along with a quick video clip I will include in the upcoming documentary "On The Falling Tide" Releasing March 2017.

Hope to see all at the duck boat show this weekend here on LI Sunday Oct 30th.
Best of luck to all this season!

Anthony - Great Pics and video. I like the idea of putting the trailer lights on top of the guide posts, its on my list of things to do.

See you at the show .......... Joe
 
Anthony, I would review your trailer set-up. Maybe the angle of the picture? How much tongue weight do you have? The weak point on the Classis is the motorboard with so little bearing surface at transom. I would want the bunks further back to support all that weight and a transom support on the motor too. I followed Gene Jr's rig years ago, and cringed at the motor shaking so while being trailered. Maybe you have it all figured out, but food for thought.
 
Brad,

Thanks

The Guide chairs are from The Sportsman's Guide. Work great, swivel 360 and fold up & tuck away under the bow. I think they were $25/Each last year on sale.

The drone is a DJI Phantom Professional with the 4K Res Gimbal Mounted Camera.

Nice work Anthony. With the new boat having mostly raffia on it I am looking forward to not pulling salt hay this year...

Drone work is addicting!
 
Thanks Craig & Bill It hasn't been a good year for Salt Hay over my way due to lack of rain wasn't much fun finding it!

Good morning, Anthony~

I will see you at Cedar Beach tomorrow. I've got about half of the grass on RED-LEG right now. Great thatching weather!

Anthony~

Spectacular!

Of course, I can figure out the location: That 4th photo is "Little Thatch Island"......

All the best,

SJS
