nice. thanks for that one.

I'm not much of a dog person but my dad always had spaniels for pheasants. Near where we lived there was a kennel and trainer that kept pigeons for training retrievers. It was fun to watch them put the dogs through their paces. My dad's spaniels were pretty keyed-up animals, high-strung and...

When I was a kid my brother and I used to fish the Mississippi with our neighbors. We generally fished below the locks near the outlet. The bottom was very rocky due to the built up nature of the lock structure. Once our anchor got wedged in the rocks when they were letting water out of the...

Really nice

I know you guys are right that it's all in the eye of the beholder. I guess I'm old fashioned and like more classic designs. Or maybe I don't like change... In any case, I stick with my design critique.

Here's today's version. I think the art director responsible for this one should be keel-hauled.

On my daily browse through the boat listings on Craig's List I came across this boat. I see it or one like it almost every time I look at boats on C'sL. My reaction is always the same, "no wonder it's for sale", "jeeze is that thing ugly", "that thing looks like a deformed orca, only uglier"...

With the change of seasons upon us isn't it time for some photo updates of you bearded gents? Wondering how your Zeus-like growths are coming along.

I'm currently dealing with this issue with my kayaks. The short answer is that I'm just tired of lifting them on top of my Jeep and all the stuff necessary to tie them down. In MN I am required to have a rope front and rear plus the ratchet straps I use to secure them. A trailer is easier on...

. I got this yesterday so now I have to figure out something for sure. My old Jeep had roof racks but I have to do a little more research about what I can get for this. There are a lot of contraptions available for a lot of $ but I'd rather keep it simple if I can. It does have a 2" receiver...

an example of what you might not want to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO5VnvXTlic and here's one that actually works but looks kind of horsey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtv-5t8F29U and finally tomme boy's very sensible idea (this guy better be from Normandy or he needs to lose the...

When I was a kid my folks owned a resort. My brothers and I had a 12' wooden flat bottom with this contraption we called a whale tail. It clamped to the transom like an outboard and was pretty much like a rudder with tiller handle but the rudder was made of rubber. As you nautical types would...

To paraphrase the blues singer Albert King, if it weren't for getting skunked I wouldn't have any luck at all. :mrgreen:

The Grumman is pretty nice. There's usually at least one for sale around my area but not for that price. It seems high but then with motor and trailer and given how shiny new it looks, maybe the seller will get their price. About the Alumacraft, got a kid or neighbor to help you turn it...

I don't eat very much meat. I don't have any ethical or dietary objection to eating meat, I just don't. I have an occasional burger at my local pub but beyond that not much else. I sometimes think to just give it up until I think of ham...and bacon... Here are a couple of local entries...

I decided to avoid all the Labor Day traffic on the lake and went fishing yesterday. It was pretty hot and not much doing on the fishing front, certainly nothing to write home about, or to tinboats about for that matter either. Boated two northerns and a largemouth, 20", 16" and 12"...

Sweet little guy - the one without the beard...

The MN DNR has a long list of lake maps online including depth, water quality and stocking/fish survey information. Maybe Oregon does as well.

You should add your location so we know where you're from. Here's one in Winnipeg https://www.boats4sale.pro/detail/ca/dOnOOmOUOCneCenHHnO/Rare-Beauty Here's an Aroliner fan club site and someone there might have one for sale. https://www.arolinerfanclub.com/news.htm Cool boat. Hope you...

There's a guy here in the Twin Cities area with one for sale. If you reply to the ad he might have some info for you regarding parts. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/boa/5168748832.html
