    Resources/input on trailer springs? They're so stiff!

    Don't have pics of it at the moment, it is parked at my Dad's house (No room at my apartment!). It is a 1990 trailer and I have no idea if the parts are stock or not when I bought it off of a guy 1.5 years ago. The tires have a 55mph max speed rating and need to be replaced. I want to get ones...

    Resources/input on trailer springs? They're so stiff!

    I am planning on doing a complete restore of my trailer. Plenty of resources for paint, packing bearings, etc. But I was thinking while I am going through all the trouble..... can I replace the trailer springs with lighter ones? My trailer bounces around like CRAZY and I cringe anytime I hit a...

    Pic of Birds

    That's a lot of birds in one area! I love bird photography (and bird watching). My friends call me a nerd or a dad but whenever I take them bird watching they always have a great time... I need a better lens but these are some shots I've gotten. (lenses are sooo expensive!) The bald eagle...

    Oldness Test

    Is this Mikey??? I am not old (21) but my friends grandma always called me Mikey because her grandson (my friend) is a super picky eater. I'd eat anything this woman made! (she was a pretty good cook to be honest...) I do not remember the cereal, but I'm sure she told me when I asked what she...

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    We both did pretty much the same thing 'cept you were unlucky enough to hit concrete instead of wood! Glad you were able to repair it. Amazing how hard it is to see objects just below the surface at times.

    Question about carpet and aluminum

    I'd think its mostly preference. Both methods seem like it'd work fine. Easier to carpet it before it is screwed down, but if you screw it first you can hide the screws under the carpet. So it may look nicer to carpet after you screw it down. But what if you can do a much nicer carpet job when...

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    I saw a few people with glass boats there... I'd never bring my expensive bass boat there!

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    Not the most successful day with only 3 bass. My fishing partner got skunked haha. It was a very nice day however! Between the lack of fish, the stump incident, and multiple groups picnicking/swimming on the boat launch yesterday was too much adventure and not enough relaxing with a line in the...

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    Definitely would be a different story had I been going full speed! I also think I will get some polarized sunglasses. I'm sure that would have helped spot it. Not a fan of wearing sunglasses though...

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    Ya no damage besides some scratches on the bottom. That's the beauty of our tins! We were going so slow it was mostly just unlucky we hit it at the perfect angle. We were laughing about it pretty quickly.

    So I hit a log yesterday...

    Went fishing on the 4th to a lake near me. First time at the lake, but it has a reputation for stumps. Onthewater will know exactly where I'm talking about. Even knowing the reputation I was surprised when I got there. Take a look for yourselves (not my photo): There are stumps above the...

    just curious, why wouldn't you do the clear coat? Not necessary?

    FORUM UPGRADE ISSUES

    Exactly rich; it has been this way forever. Just now websites in the EU need to let the users know about it. Which is a good thing imo.

    FORUM UPGRADE ISSUES

    Well just like 4 way stop signs and speed bumps, I'd argue it depends on the context. The one you posted is a warning from a billion dollar company that has users from all over the world and a legal team that cost more than all our wages combined. Of course their warning will be more 'proper'...

    FORUM UPGRADE ISSUES

    The EU has much better data privacy laws than the US, hence the message. While certain sites technically may not need the message, it is a good idea to have it for peace of mind. A lot of companies get in legal trouble over privacy data laws sanctioned by the EU. While I couldn't imagine...

    Show me your cooler setups in your boats

    Good to hear. I have been told by others that putting the cooler in the freezer the night before greatly increases its ability to keep ice frozen, as the cooler will already be as cold as the ice. I've never tried it because I can't fit my cooler in my freezer... but you probably could fit the...

    6061 T6 .100 for deck questions

    A lot of others have used aluminum, I think mostly out of aluminum angle. Check out onthewater's build of his 1436, should give you a good idea. His build came out great. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=33630
