Seems pretty tame. Health risks can be found here: https://www.actiocms.com/VIEW_MSDS/view_language_kits2.cfm?edit_msds_id=3499&dbname=production&language=1&format=1&CFID=5862654&CFTOKEN=70c89a3500a662b8-21C03E0E-FFD9-A223-8AE31CBDAED02CE0

Jackson makes the boat (and seat). Very comfy, but I do most of my fishing standing up. I got mine at 15 or 20%, probably still overpriced , but when you are electronically challenged like myself, it's easier to just pay up sometimes. (Where were you guys when I bought this stuff? :lol: )...

Thanks fender. I really want to stick with the ½” (because that’s what I have). I was thinking about coming up with something to brace it a little. Ah, makes sense! I was really just thinking about tension. Oddly enough, my original plan included a piece of angle there. #-o Thanks!

Do you guys think 1/2" plywood be be strong enough for that large center hatch :?:

I too use a 12v/7amp battery for my Humminbird 597di Combo on my kayak. I've only ran it for two full days before charging it, but I'm sure it will go for a couple more no problem. (For use in my kayak) I modified a dry box to create a waterproof container for the battery while it's in the hull...

Nice longnose! I don't know why people dislike gar so much, I mean look at them, they're awesome. :D

Nicely done =D> What brand paint did you use for the decks?

Well, I got a few hours this past weekend to spend working on the boat. Things I accomplished: Mounted motor New LED trailer lights and wiring with waterproof connections Mounted spare tire holder on trailer Finished framing front and back decks (except for a few bolts and screws) I forgot my...

In!

Thanks for the suggestions, gentlemen. It looks like Captain Ahab is going to take care of me!

Where did you guys purchase your aluminum piano hinges for deck hatches? Since I'm using 1/2" plywood, I should use hinges with 1/2" flanges, right?

It's all bolted. Here is pic of the bottom. You can see my excessively messy use of sealant. Do you guys think this will hold up alright. It all feels rock-solid... The only power tools I have are a jigsaw and a drill, so I have to keep things fairly simple.

Alright, I've had about 3-4 full days to work on the boat over the past several weeks. I'm really hoping I'm going to have time to finish. To complicate things, I think I tore my ACL last night #-o . Here are some pics of my progress. I forgot to get pics of the boat with the motor and...

I think state records can be deceiving and most are decades old. I fish an online kayak tournament series and they use the AMI calculator for some events to even things up: https://www.anglingmasters.com/index.aspx?too=2003&eve=4 And, of course, everything is based on length.

I'll assume your are looking for a spinning combo. You can definitely work with $100, but you’ll be fairly limited. Just realize that at that price point you will be looking mostly at the bottom end of the product lines. You may benefit from buying a pre-assembled combo from Bass Pro or...
