Agree with holesaw. Take your time and don't put too much pressure on it so you get a nice clean cut.

I bought some mid-grade stuff from BPS. Overpriced and the rubber backing was very thin, but it was easy to work with. Next time I will go to Home Depot or Menards.

Nope, the NFL Draft was on this weekend. Besides, I got to see it 100 times on the news. :P

Although usually I just fish with my wife or a buddy, but I like having the 16' boat. Of course you guys have never seen my wife casting. Think "Something about Mary" except in the ear. Having her up front is good. =D>

Jim, Can-Am I think they are called. I have a couple of friends that bought them and they love em. The design is very stable and they corner so much better than say a trike. And I'll be the first to say the trike's scare the crap out of me. All it took was for one of the back wheels to lift...

I'm sure it will be fine. The fish don't care. I switch staple sizes when I put the edges of mine down and the bigger one show up so much more. I was complaining to my wife and she told me the fish probably wouldn't care. :lol: It is after all...A FISHING BOAT!

It took me two months of looking to find the "deal" I wanted. This is the hot time of the year with lots of people wanting boats, so more competition. You'll find the one.

I thought I'd pass this link along. I've done business with them and been happy with the products and prices. I don't work for them or get any benefit from this. SPORTSMAN'S GUIDE SPECIALS [[email protected]]

Illinois has the worst arrangement for boats, trailers and motors. DMV will help you get license for the trailer, but then you have to fill out a form with DNR to get the boat registered. Motors don't need anything. I boat a boat in KC, Kansas and spent two months getting everything legal in...

Very nice job on the conversion. I had an Ozark tri-hull and it was very stable. It was very heavy but was strong in the stumps.

As my brother told me. A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. :LOL2: My wife asked me how much we had in my $600 boat and I told her she didn't really want to know. :oops:

Sorry, ALL my mod pictures are on my wife's camera...which she can't find. The best as I can explain it's just a black plastic box with an aluminum and a plastic front...no seams except on the front. The front panel is recessed and comes with 4 screw. The plastic isn't super heavy like you could...

Thanks guys, that'll help me get started and understand what I'm seeing.

Okay, so there are no "dumb" questions right? :oops: Well, I've never used a FF before and need a little jump start. I've mounted mine on the transom so that the pointy end is toward the bow. It is below the bottom when it is in the down/locked position. Here are my questions...oh it is a...

I have two, a deep cycle for the TM and a lawn tractor battery for the fish finder, bilge and lights. I just like the idea of having a little bit of backup for either one. I've ran short a couple of times and had to paddle back to the doc or never want to run out of battery for the bilge.
