    Camping

    Me and a buddy did a 20 mile fishing float and camp this summer. Had a great time. Can't wait to do it this summer. https://vimeo.com/230640089

    G3 Sportsman 18

    I have looked at them and a friend of mine has the 20 ft verison. Nice boats if you like that style configuration.

    Transom height above ground when on trailer

    I don't really think you have a problem. Looks normal to me. You could extend the trailer tongue to get the boat further down the ramp during launch.

    Bone Broth

    I wouldn't think deer broth would be good since that fat doesn't taste good.

    Rockfish!

    I fish for freshwater stripers in the tributaries of Buggs Island lake (aka Kerr Lake) in Virginia. I think we have the only landlocked freshwater stripers that naturally do a spawn run. Great fish to catch. Eat really good. Tip for removing the red meat from the filet...

    Cleaning Impeller

    Follow advice posted. FYI there is no reverse thrust on a jet. Water moves through the pump in one direction only.

    Tunnel Design

    B.A.S.S. recently outlawed jet drive boats. There reasoning is that it's a specialty boat. What is a $60K boat with $10K in electronics then? Jet is a trade off and has plenty of disadvantages.

    Tunnel Design

    3" of water? I'd have to see that to believe it. Very interesting design. I'd like to see it in action.

    Red on Right Returning....duhhhh

    One thing I love about jet drive is that it doesn't matter where the channel is. Is there water? Ok....hammer down then. :D

    Lowe Pathfinder 1660

    I only see pics of them in sandy rivers. They seem built to be light and fast, but not take a real pounding. A real minimalist design.layout. Not knocking the boat, every boat is trade off.

    The Blazer boats that I've seen are all are built like tin cans.

    pros and cons. cc vs sc vs ss

    One thing that is a must for CC on small boats is a good grab rail.

    Holy Grail of Trolling Motor Plugs

    The plugs seem to hold up fine under normal use. I don't think manufactures consider running your motor at 50-100% for hours on end as normal use though.

    River Road Jet Boats are the new gold standard for outboard jets. Awesome boats. Built about an hour from my house. Check this video: https://youtu.be/NR5_as6lqo

    Irma

    Very scary stuff. It seems the future is now and storms/disasters like Irma and Harvey could be the new norm. Frightening thought.
