    Panting roll on bed liner??

    I did my front deck with Tuff Coat (light gray) from BPS. I wirebrushed the diamond plate with a SS cup brush in my cordless drill . Then the instructions told me to wipe the surface down with laquer thinner and paint with selfetching primer. I wanted to see how it held up before doing the...

    SliderG5 - New Pricing!

    I just installed my light gray SliderG5 and it alleviated the problem I had with my tiller handle hitting my seat. The seat slides across the mount so smoothly can't wait to try it on the water , customer service is #1 which is hard to find these days.

    How essential is a fish finder?

    I got the cheapest one I could find, mainly for depth monitoring. I've seen fish all over the finder and they wouldn't bite.It don't put them in the boat but atleast you know your not fishing in the wrong spot.

    I ran into a snag recently when I went to mount my rear seat with a clamp-on mount,the tiller handle on my 74' Evinrude hits the seat when it is centered on the original bench seat.

    I would like to see pics of your boat, does the Rustoleum bedliner come in colors or just black ? I looked at several projects before I took the foam out,some boats have no foam.It's just for flotation so it doesn't sink . I still have foam in the rear seat and the original bow seat under the...

    When to fish?

    I always plan to go around the next full moon and I have a fishing Barometer which helps, but I have also found it to not matter if the fish are hungry they bite but just like a fish finder doesn't make them jump in the boat. I go when I can just like to be outside . The more you go the more...

    My Sears 1436 Jon boat project

    After I wire brushed the diamond plate and wiped it down with acetone, I sprayed it with self-etching primer and applied light gray Tuff Coat from BPS to the trolling motor deck. I added a co-pilot , the remote control is too cool !
