Michael Dickerson - Answer to your question...

I stand corrected. Thanks for setting me straight.

Never used one myself, just thought it might help with his shallow water running requirements.

ok if I ever make it up that way, I own you a drink........................ or 2

I am sorry about the sentence structure, punctuation and syntax,
but I have a sever learning disability (it just took me a few minuets to look up sever to make sure it was spelled correctly and used in the right tex.)
I have this really high IQ.
Able to see some one do something and turn around and do it most of the time just........... as good as if I was doing it for years……………

but can not write, I can not see the different between a word that is spelled right but used as a wrong word. Like to, too, two....... to me, they are all the same and there is some kind of block in my brain that stops me from learning that or see it.
So ya,
I am F up and at the end of the day. I own just about everyone a drink.




so when the wind come up, I have to choice.
1. run back as fast a I can before it gets any worse

2. stick it out in my sea blind

3. just beach it and wait it out (but if I do that the boat will get tor up for sure)
So how deep dose your boat draft?

Sadly it was not I that penned, or more accurately tyoed, "alucanu"....bleieve me I'd take cedit for thatt one if I had.....

But you are correct that unless I paid attention I'd be up there near the top.....my problem is that I can spell and I can type I just can't do them both at the same time...add that to the fact that th internet has cause all of us to accept the slopinees that our English teachers would have failed us for and unless you pay close attention you can very quickly end up "speaking in tounqes"....

let you buy the beer AFTER a hunt....you'll need warmer clothes than you use down that way and maybe we'll get lucky and it will be lowing like stink and we can spend the day shooting ducks and arguing with each other about "how big THAT wave was".......

Don't sweat the difficulty in deciphering your posts.....trust me we've seen worse and I'd far ratherr spend the time figuring out what you meant to say than for you not to be posting....

My boat will "run" in 4" of water but it drafts a good foot of water....makes for some interesting decision as to when to shut er down....too late and you can definately find yourself hoping for a high tide soon....


Tough choices for sure as to "when" its time to go......these days I tend towards erring on the "sooner" rather than "later" when that wind starts to crank...

im off my small hand crafted mud boat kick id look seriously towards a excel they are well know big water mud boats and also are made for mud moters thats my dream boat some day being a left coaster your gonna pay some heft shipping too see one but it designed for rough water and mud the only boat ive seen that will do both plus they can rig twin mud moters on it oh boy got me exited again.
 
who was it? I have been so sure that it was you but then I remember I'm an Ole Fart and have no right to think I can remember anything.

So, you and Mike must have made it home OK. No more deer encounters I trust? Did you hunt on the way back? The day we left it was non-stop except for gas. 950 miles in 16 hours - a personal best...........or worst as it was.

ya those [font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]excel are sweet boats, but once again no one sells them here and the closes mudbuddy dealer is 8 HRS away. just to go touch and fill one...............

I love our weather in So Cal., I love that I can do just about anything I can think of with in 4 HRS..............
but to be a hunter and live in So Cal...................... it SUCKS!
ya I can find it on the net.........but good luck trying to get one of you from the Midwest or East coast to come out here or send product here................ I've had a easier time at the [/font]Dentist....................

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice....


ok tell me what you think of a high noise Tunnel haul with ether [font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]a mud buddy or a out board jet........ how high should the sides be?

And to think,at one time,(late 50s) there were more people reloading ammo in California,than all the rest of the states combined.Sad situation,for sure.

your boat will run is 4 inches of mud. And depending on how fast you're going it will go quite some distance at which time the big question is, "Oh my God, is the tide ebbing or flooding?????"

Bill
 
LOL. And you have to ask if the next high tide is a major or minor and how many days will I have to wait before I can get my boat back again. I'm going to stick with my lower unit so I have a good indicator of when to turn around and find out where the channel really is. hehehe.

yes that is the sad truth, most of us were re-loaders. but when they switch to steel, it just was not coast affective any more.

and to think we have about 900,000 hunters in Cal......................WOW
Orange County is the 11th largest economy in the world!!!
and I can't get hunting product here???????? someone tell me how that math works...........


well the good news is, I leave on the 31st for Co., for mull deer and bull elk for 10 days..............
the season don't open tell the 3rd. and it only takes 12 hrs to drive there, but I will need a day 1/2 for shopping on the way..............LOL
 
Bill with out a name of a boat or a picture..................of your boat............ I'm setting here thinking to my self well that nice.....................runs in 4" of mud......................
So being a betting man, I would say, its a flat bottom with a mud motor????? about 16'.............. I'm just guessing here but, I'm close?????????
 
I believe is the 11th largest economy in the world. Orange county may be the 11th largest economy in Cailfornia.
 
Can Californians count that high? I only saw them count to 1 when I was there, and they did it with their middle finger. I later realized what a California howdy was...lol. Maybe things have changed since I was in Pendleton.
 
Michael, I was refering to an event that occured on Steve Sutton's boat a few years back. Something to do with high speed and shorcuts, tide tables and mud bars, and lots of humor at Steve's expense.
