    The back adjusts via the side straps, but does not recline

    Millennium Seats.....Worth the price?

    These are the ones he is considering. We had a chance to see and sit on them last night at our local BPS. They are very nice! As mentioned, they are wider. Well constructed and heavy duty. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/millennium-marine-comfortmax-pro-m-100-boat-seat

    Millennium Seats.....Worth the price?

    My buddy is considering the Millennium Marine ComfortMax Pro-M 100 Boat seats for his '22 Bass Buggy 18DLX pontoon. His OEM seats are very uncomfortable...his three fishing seat backs have you leaning directly upright to slightly forward. I have seen some of you using them on your tinnies...

    What have you done to your Tin Boat today?

    Where can you fish on boat in the evenings? Most lakes around me are off by pre-dusk rule. Be nice to try night boat fishing, but nowhere close to try it. Would have to head oveer to CO river and its lakes for night fishing.

    What have you done to your Tin Boat today?

    I didn't know small boat trailers were made in China. I thought most were made in USA.

    Where do most people go to sell a used aluminum boat these days?

    I use both CL and FB Marketplace. Both work well in my area. However, it appears that FB is starting to become the go-to place to sell just about everything. I usually place my ads on both sites.

    Honda 9.9hp value?

    It's all about timing and location.....here in CA right now it would sell for $1000, considering the low hours. If it is beat up (scratches to cowling, gouged prop, etc)...then less. I can't imagine anywhere in our great country where it would be worth less than $700! Hondas are great durable...

    1993 Klamath 14' Deluxe - Swivel Seat Install Questions

    I know you prefer not to remove alum and top wood....but that would be the preferred method IMO. You need to access underneath, add backing, and through bolt the seat mounts. That would make the seat mounts strong and safe. You surely do not want to lean back hard and have the mount pull out...

    Fishing Magazines

    I am currently subscribed to California Fly Fisher (for the past 7 years). New owners as of 2023/24....their first edition is pretty good IMO for CA stuff! Previously subscribed to Southwest Fly Fishing, The Drake, and Fly Fish Journal. I now focus on mags from my home state and what local CA...

    Your first TinBoat. Post you pictures.

    Your Ford Explorer, connected to your boat, reminds me of my father.....he had a '93 Explorer that he used to drive from CA to FL to purchase a '78 Drascombe Lugger sailboat. He was 65 at the time (back in 2008). I often think about this....I'm 61....would I venture to FL to purchase a boat...

    9.9hp Motor Hoarder

    First, that is one COOL nautical neighbor!!!! Parts availability is what I would want to know first. Carbs are a non issue for me...as they can be tuned to near FI performance (especially Honda carbs!). 9.9 are a popular engine. Is it SS or LS? If you are in need of a 9.9hp engine, on a budget...

    Traveling with boat in tow

    Thanks for the replies! Many great stories that educate, inspire, and cause one to think about what adventures/misadventures are out there! Some background.... I'm 61, soon to be 62, and retired. Currently, 100% of my fishing is at several local lakes/reservoirs within 30min of my home. I...

    Scotty Seeker - New Product

    Out here in SoCal we troll using leadcore with flies. It was made popular by a guy out of Riverside, CA. It’s called, “Flycoring.” We troll specifically for Stripers. Thought about downriggers to add some feel when fighting the fish…. But they appear to be too much work, especially when the...

    Traveling with boat in tow

    Lots of great tips and ideas! My TM is bolted and I do have lockers that are locking. Many of my trips may be solo, so the safety part is very important. Do any of you travel solo to these 1+ day away destinations? Any traveling solo advice?

    Traveling with boat in tow

    How many of you tow your boats to fishing locations that are a day or more away from home? If so, do you stay in Hotels/Motels? Do you slip the boat while there or launch/retrieve everyday? If no slip, how about security of boat while at Hotel/Motel? I am considering fishing a few...

    Aluminum Versus Stainlees Steel?

    I've been using this anti seize for many years. Learned of it when I had my sailboats. It's used in many places on a sailboat...especially standing rigging. I use it for ALL SS hardware and fasteners.

    Spark Plugs Getting Scarce

    I may have to stock up on some made in USA: Champion spark plugs for my new Mercury 60hp Timken bearings/races for my travel and boat trailers and National Seals. According to Amazon and reviews, the bearings/seals are still made in USA. I did purchase seals last year when I did a repack on...
