    Man I have been busy but I did get some welding done! I plan on getting back to it Monday or so I will post up some more pics. A good combination of busy and procrastination can keep you held back lol.

    Hahaha! I have heard that one a lot lol! :lol: I would love to do some fishing with some good ol boys from Arkansas. Need to finish my boat first though. I haven't fished out of a boat in probably 5 or 6 years! I'm probably pretty rusty but it would be a lot of fun no matter!

    Thanks man, you should order 20 or so!?!? Well I still haven't had much time but I managed to get it preped for the welder tomorrow. If you look at the flat spot there, you will see a small bump. The's were all over the place from the various rives and screw holes. I needed them smooth so I...

    I have a 1989 bass tracker aluminum I am only fishing in fresh water, will SS bolts be ok in my application?

    where can I find aluminum angle that is affordable?

    I know a lot of times when you have to ship metals it gets really expensive, however if you go through a company that has a store location close to you, you can really get out ahead. I am going to use this place for some stuff and it gets delivered to a place I drive by all the time for free. So...

    Can I make a livewell from this?

    Thanks Diesel!! I think i am going with these for my live wells one on each side. If they are not big enough I'll move up one size, but I think these will work. I just don't want to have to have issues chasing fish around lol...

    I know there is 50 ways to skin a cat but I used a 1 1/2" old antique wood chisel to cut my rivets. Similar to the one pictured here: https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-antique-framing-chisel-image10736752 Just make sure it is flat against the boat so when you smack it with the shop...

    I'm from down south. In a place called Bodcaw. It's about 15 miles south of hope, so I don't know if it would be that much of a savings to bring it up there considering gas, but I really appreciate the help. I don't think it should take more than an hour or two for what I need done. However if...
