Thank you to all veterans and the families of the men and women who support them while they are serving and also when they return home. God Bless

you should only prime until you feel resistance. Mine is 3 presses on a cold start. Hope that helps.

I got all my boards wrapped in carpet and the interior hull painted. now I am am ready to start puting her together. I will get pics up tomorrow.

Amazing what a lil paint and new carpet can do for a trailer. It sure looks nice.....like new

I have always heard to use mono with crankbaits so that you don't end up setting the hook on a log or stump and lose the bait. I've lost cranks on both flouro and mono.. the amount of stretch in mono is exaggerated sometimes... a sharp treble hook is going to get stuck in a log if it were...

Sweet deal. You will have to let us know what you think when you do use it next winter. I am very happy with my ice-35. I am sure you will love it.

Perchin, I know this post was from this winter, but i was wondering which unit you went with and what were your impressions of it?

Another option is to carpet each board individually. To do this, you would cut the carpet large enough to wrap around to the back side. Prior to stapling, you should apply a marine carpet glue to make sure the carpet stays tight to the board to avoid loosness in the carpet if it stretches...

I know you don't wanna buy flourocarbon, but flouro or braid would be better for cranks because mono floats and cranks generally are designed to run deep. I use flouro on everything except for my ultralights and top water rods, on which I use mono.. Braid with a flouro leader is also a good...

your link goes to a site with a bunch of car listings. I am working on a 14 footer right now and that is my intention....a little boat the wife and i can get out on.

there is a good one on the home page under projects

Tomorrow i will be sealing the wood in the boat.

exactly. We love going out camping on the sandbars.....nothing like camping on a beach.

you have a nice canvas to start with there. I used the paint program that comes with windows.

Will also be using the boat in non-fishing outings....ie camping on sandbars on the mississippi or just getting the mrs out on the water for a relaxing day on the water on a hot July day. Gotta have tunes for that......or the saturday morning fishing talk show that i like to listen to.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I like the console at that location because i will be able to control every aspect of the boat from the driver's seat. The only thing i will have to move in the boat for is putting walleyes in the livewell. I will definitely keep updating and posting...

It is a bit chilly to get much done today....we had snow last night....in may (gotta love Minnesota). None of it stuck atleast. I still have speaker boxes to build that will attach in the corners behind the center bench. One additional item that i am also going to place on the back of the...

Not a whole lot as long as you aren't playing cd's. That will draw a ton on your battery.

Got more work done on the S.S. Minnow today.
