    Boating Etiquette

    The one lake I frequent has seen a huge uptick of people in plastic kayaks and paddleboards in recent years. Back before all this it was not very common to see folks breaking the rules of courtesy. Now a lot of these kayak and paddle boarders feel they have some kind of right of way. They...

    1987 Alumacraft Super Bandit Restoration

    Before you get too far you might want to change the trolling motor so the head does not stick out past the side of the boat. Don’t want that banging against docks.

    1995 Landau 1657 Aluminum Jon Boat Bethel, OH

    One suggestion, and this is JMHO, is to not go nuts with raised decks that so many like to do. With multiple kids in the boat that would not be ideal.

    What trolling motor upgrade

    Standard price. Pretty sure you’ll never see these get discounted, more likely go up in price. That is untill the next big change comes about. Trollingmotors.net sells tax free ( unless you’re in Texas) and free shipping. Got mine in 2 days.

    Millennium Seats.....Worth the price?

    I use tree stands with millennium seats. I believe that’s what got millennium started. I sit for many hours at a time and am very comfortable. I have a few that have been in the woods for years and they are still as comfy as day one.

    What trolling motor upgrade

    I was using both. I was flipping a jig in the pads today for a while so the pedal was a must doing that. I used the fob a good bit as well. That pedal is touchy

    What trolling motor upgrade

    Got it out on the water today. Definitely a learning curve. From what I can tell so far I’m going to enjoy this motor. Nice having it networked to my graphs. I punched a waypoint from my graph in and the T- motor took me straight to it. In spot lock it kept me where I wanted to be but the motor...

    Got out this morning.

    Actually a few folks around here could stand to see the DCNR guys around a bit more often. Haven’t targeted pan fish for a long time now. Way to go on those 😎

    Cleaning aluminum hull

    Thanks guys. Aluminum brighter/ restorer product looks like the ticket. I’ll post up when I get around to getting it done. Never had a complete bare aluminum hull boat before, paint is a lot easier to keep clean.

    Cleaning aluminum hull

    Good info. Did you guys notice any sort of pitting or corrosion from the cleaners. LDUBS that hull looks great, those are the results I’m looking for.

    Cleaning aluminum hull

    My crestliner bare aluminum hull is getting pretty ugly. I fish two or three times a week and the scum line is getting bad as well as the rest of the hull. I want to clean it up. I’ve seen the videos of NAPA aluminum brightener and purple power aluminum brightener and the results are awesome...

    How many of you enjoy a "Beater Boat?"

    Just came across this video of the beater I posted above. Not only did a tree fall on it once. An old barn fell on it as well. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

    Tin boat flooring

    Get yourself a piece of stiff cardboard longer and wider than the area you want to put your deck. Draw a center line on the boat and draw a line on each side where you desire the deck to touch the hull. Draw a center line on your card board . Now measure from the center line in the boat to the...

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

    Don’t let these post scare you about dealing on market place. I’ve bought and sold lots of things on market place that were nice smooth deals. Scammers are very easy to spot with one or two communications. Most of the people I’ve done deals with are decent folks. I’ve sold 90% of the items I’ve...
