Well, this is turning into far bigger of a project than I anticipated. Floor was pretty rotted but you couldn't tell because it was sitting on foam. Foam is waterlogged and needs to come out.
Started messing with a DA polisher.
Previous owner replaced sections of the floor but took the easy...
Not as of yet. Shortly after I bought the boat covid almost killed me. I lived (clearly) but the hospital stay weakened me (muscle atrophy) so much that it has taken me until recently just to get up and about like normal again.
I did pick up a 8hp honda for trolling/kicker on Christmas Eve to...
Well I hit it with some purple power aluminum brightener and that stuff is pretty amazing. The paint is a mess though. It's not chipping off but is very scratched. I would like to paint the green/blue a gloss black but I'm not sure what would work best on old paint and the spots where the paint...
I have considered a drift boat but honestly one of my favorite parts of fly fishing is chilling in the river. Granted I seem very prone to ending up swimming when I should be wading, but nonetheless.
Yeah, my brother in law wants to go big from the start and I'm like, eh... let's see how much use we get out of it and what our needs really are first. I have 12v trickle chargers aplenty.
What do you mean by keeping "things" from sliding in? Do you just mean from making their way under the...
Thanks. I do actually have the Oregon boater safety card or whatever. We used to have jet skis when I was a kid and I got it then. It does say that my eyes are blue though which is definitely wrong. And yeah, it seems like there are a lot of people trying to avoid winterization and storage right...
That seems good considering that their cheapest offering currently is 15ft with no motor or trailer for $11K. I'm sure things vary at the dealer level with incentives and the like, but haven't seen anything like your deal even used.
Some my fondest childhood memories are of boat fishing. My best friend's dad always had something of dubious buoyancy to take us out on. We always had to get up before sunrise, which now as an adult I realize was probably because of how much time it always took to get it running for the day.
I...
Well I went out again yesterday. Harvest Landing this time. I was delighted to wake up and find that the smoke had moved on. I decided to try a dry dropper setup this time. No luck. Haha, I got excited once when I saw the dry fly disappear below the surface. I set it and it moved like a fish. I...
Ah, gotcha. I was curious about that area because it's marked as public park but I didn't see much in the way of access on my way to the ramp parking lot.
I have actually been thinking about Harvest Landing a lot. I have fished a little from the ramp with a spinning rod. It does seem like the deeper water just above the ramp could be good. There was a lot of top water feeding up there the last time I was there. Is that the corner you are talking...
Well I hopped over to Hendricks Bridge Park this morning. Learned a lot from making mistakes my first time. Learned to make sure your reel is well secured to your rod. Haha. I learned not to keep my phone in my chest pocket when it wiggled it's way up and over my waders somehow. Only fell in...
