    Hull dents

    I used this on my boat to patch a hole in the side wall. I'm no body work expert and it still came out looking nice. Little touch up paint and you can even tell it's there. I know there are other factors to consider like your boat being riveted/thin and flexing a lot...

    Suitable substitute to hydroturf?

    Carpet just doesn't clean up good enough for me. I think of all the blood, slime, and fine silt river mud I get in my boat. Take it to the carwash and it comes right out with the Seadek and looks like brand new.

    Suitable substitute to hydroturf?

    Use a plastic putty knife or two to scrape the grip tape. The goal isn't to get the tape up, mostly just to knock down/off any loose stuff. Then wash everything down with soap and water, including painted surface. Peel and stick...once stuck, it's not coming up so get it right the first time...

    Side Imaging Transducer Mounting

    I have been looking for something like this! I've ripped off two transducers in the last 2 years. I wonder if this would help?

    I definitely appreciate it. If I make it down maybe we can work something out and you go with me. Take care, man. Boat is looking good.

    Hull dents

    I just have a feeling there has to be something else going on. I'd like to see the pics. Another thing to check is to make sure the gate is operating properly. Check it out of the water and make sure you cannot manually move the gate from open/forward to closed/neutral and that the gate is...

    Hull dents

    5 mph from a dent? I'm suspicious of that theory. Do you think it's causing aeration and sending dirty water to the pump? Interested to see what you come up with as a learning experience for myself.

    Lowe Roughneck 1755 Jet boat

    I've been working on a trip down there for a couple of years. Each time I say I'm going but never make the time. Going mainly to check it out for bowfishing. I've got all the flatheads I need in my own backyard. Looks like a cool river. I always enjoy seeing new water and sights.

    Totally cool and/or useless finds

    The grapple = useless The K-bar spork/knife looks awesome. I keep a titanium spoon/fork on my boat. Makes eating those beanie weenies much easier. https://amzn.to/2l22IVR

    trolling motor

    The Minn Kota prop is a dog, but you won't find a prop that will make much of a difference with top end. The Kippiwa prop will get you up to speed faster than the stock Minn Kota.

    boat stability

    There is a noticeable difference between 42" and 48" bottom boats. There is a night and day difference between 48" and 36". I came to this opinion by bowfishing (mostly with 2 people standing) from all 3 sizes (1436, 1442, 1448)

    Pouring lead for added rudder weight

    Pouring lead into wood could be dangerous. Any moisture content and boom! Liquid lead to the face.
