Repairing a boat for a customer. Showing how to leak test, and a few tips on patching corrosion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERXtSbp5Kh4

These are the remains of fish traps built by the PeeDee and Cheraw Indians thousands of years ago, along the PeeDee River, just downstream of US74 at Rockingham, NC. Enjoy!! 8) 8) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1O3HOqtcLc

How close together can you space the tines of the intake grate without blocking flow and affecting performance? Right now I'm in the process of re-building my grate, using 1/4" X 3/4" stainless flat bar, and they are currently laid out to be spaced with 1/4" between them. I have heard of people...

Built this using 8x8" pilings, and 6" X 9 lb/ft I-beam. The brackets on top of the pilings are made from 1/4"x6" flat plate, bent to fit securely on top of the pilings, lag-bolted to the piling with stainless lags, and the beam is welded to them. I'm using 2 ton chain hoists, although, it's...

A couple of years ago, I bought a pontoon boat to use as a barge when we re-plant oyster shells on our leases. The motor is a 40 HP Mariner magnum. Problem I have is that somehow the control box is completely backwards, in other words, reverse is forward, and forward is reverse. Control box...

Don't even waste your time, money, and effort with sandpaper. If this is Rust-O-Leum truck bed liner like my boat had on the bottom, you will only succeed in wearing out the sandpaper. Stripper, stripper, and more stripper. Get a gallon of aircraft coating remover, and a quart of laquer...

For those of you who are running yamaha PWC jet pumps in your boats, this may interest you. If you've dealt with the problem of corrosion causing the stainless liner to swell, this is the answer to the problem: Now, before you say that's a lot of money....check out the OEM price (part #10)...

I was curious if anyone had ever coated the bottom of their boat with Line-X for protection against logs, rocks, etc. My jet boat's bottom paint is looking kind of ratty these days. I had originally sandblasted my hull to bare metal, and applied Rust-O-Leum roll-on truck bed liner when I first...

We went rafting on the Lower Saluda the other day, the water levels were much lower than last time around, making for a nice, enjoyable trip. And this time, we got much better photos and video than last time around. "Ocean Boulevard Rapids" at 625 CFS At high flows, this is a class 4 rapid...

Found a lateral step above US Hwy 52, running toward Lake Marion Dam. Interesting, to say the least. Never knew it existed, or at least, never noticed it on google earth. The eastern seaboard fall line is well above this, at Columbia. Rock ledges and such formations are virtually...

Yesterday, I hit an underwater obstruction out in the flats. Been through there a hundred times, and never knew that pipe was there. Found it yesterday, the hard way. Was running along on plane, and BAM!!! I got towed back in, as the boat wasn't going anywhere. Upon getting it home, I did not...

Last summer, when I built my jet boat trailer, I welded the cross members, instead of bolting them. I ended up regretting that, as I found out the hard way why the factory uses U-bolts. Fortunately, it happened close to home. My girlfriend busted me on my engineering flaw, she had her phone...

Here's a video I put together that discusses 3 great resources for the river runners, or anyone else who wants tidal and hydrographic information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKXV1eyUdDo&list=TLiogeilQGzHysZ8YbbhPx-ekqQt9u-EkE

Here's a few taken of our trips in 2013. Photos taken by my better half, videos done by me: Gervais St Bridge, Congaree River, Columbia, SC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FllPXg2-e0E Blewett Falls, Pee Dee River, Rockingham, NC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXFMiT-TEgA A lateral...

Here's something I put together for those who may want to save a few dollars by doing this themselves, instead of going to the stealership and getting bent over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somAIV12Dj0&feature=c4-overview&list=UUHYpuGo2zvfQcgL2J7VdAqA

I'm hoping maybe Painlesstom has some input about this: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__13388__cnc_precision_jet_boat_drive_x_large.html I saw a youtube video of someone testing one of these, it looked like it had a pretty good bit of thrust, like, enough to move a small kayak. It...

And it was great! We picked up where we left off last time, at the US74 ramp in Rockingham, NC, and paddled 6.5 miles to the area of Wolf Pit Township, also known as "Dairy Barn Landing" This time, we did it with a river raft, instead of our kayaks. Sit-on-top kayaks are not really the best...
