Welcome Kevinwi! The more wi guys we get on here, the better!

 

[HANGEYE]

Introducing in this corner. Living in the Fox Valley, state of Wisconsin,. Weighing in at 210 pounds, with a life time record of 59 years 10 months is Doug "HANGEYE" DeWeert. At this very moment I am the reigning Tin Boats NEW GUY. Well.......isn't that special.

I have lived my entire life about 30 miles south of Lambeau Field (GO PACKERS) and I think as much as I love to be on the water, I must have been born in a boat. If it swims, I will try to catch it. I own a 12' Northwoods V with a 4.5hp Merc and a Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag with a 25hp Mariner. I also own another boat that we will not discuss here because the only thing metal on it is the motor and hand rails. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, 2 sons and 2 daughters and 7 grand kids (3 boys & 4 girls). We are lucky enough to have a second home "UP NORT" and spend weekends and vacations there.

I just recently heard about this site, came here and looked around for a day or two and then signed up. I very much look forward to chating with you folks and maybe meet some new friends. Thanks for being here.

ps I found a new snow blower on line. What do you think?

Hello to all,
I'm Dave and I live in the near Southern Illinois area. I have always been an avid outsdoorsman since I was a kid. I enjoy lots of different types of fishing.......especially bowfishing. Highly interested in the site since I will be reconstructing a boat soon hopefully before it begins to warm up. Also enjoy getting out in the woods year round for whatever may be in season, it's always a great excuse to go camping. Like there needs to be an excuse right??? Dave.

Hey Dave....

Welcome to TinBoats. Happy to have you on board. I think you're probably only a couple hours from me too. Almost a neighbor.

Hello all, My name is Kevin. I live on the west coast of Florida....Gulfport to be exact. I stumbled on this site a few weeks ago when I decided to fix my old jon boat up. I love to fish and plan on getting back out on the flats this year. As of late I have ventured far offshore for the elusive Blue Marlin, as well as numerous deep water groupers. I might even try for my first bass this year. This site is awesome, where the heck is the map everyone keeps talking about?

Bigwave On H20 out...... =D>

Hello Tinboats! Tim checking in from sunny Central FL. I'm new to the world of tin boats but not new to watersports. I currently have 2 jet skis and have a blast with them. I recently aquired a 10 foot jon boat from my father inlaw (for free) Not sure what the make model or year is but it was in rough shape. Just found a 2.5HP Mercury on craigslist and traded the guy my old RC car stuff for it! So to this point I haven't spent a dime on it...lol I will start a project thread and put up some pics. I wanted a small boat to take the kids out on and do a little fishing. After looking at some of the builds on this site I've got tons of ideas for this old boat!

 

[fender66]

Hey TimRich.....

Welcome to TinBoats. Sounds like you have a good starter for a tin mod. However...the rules of this forum are such that you have to pay something for your tin. No freebees.....therefore, I'll PM you my address and you can send me $20. I'll then forward a receipt to you and you should be good to go. :roll:

Happy to have you on board!
