    22' Islander rebuild

    That's exactly what I used. Great stuff. Very tough and super easy to touch up. I also added a little Rustoleum Anti-Skid additive to give it a bit more traction. (y) 😎

    Tackle boxes

    I still keep an old Daiwa take-down rod with its storage box in my truck. I've had that thing almost 40 years and it's caught a ton of fish. It's been broken and repaired and broken again, but is still usable after all these years. I don't use my truck very much anymore. I suppose I should...

    Thanks! I'll look into the gear puller after the holiday. (y)

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I found this video (starting at 1:09) but that technique didn't work. 🙁

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    It's been a beautiful, sunny day here. Blue skies, no wind and 75 degrees with low humidity. ☀️ 😎 So the boy and I went out to the garage to do a couple small things with the KF. Got those done and started to continue, but ended up getting stuck. The idea was to just test fit the tach...

    I need computer help...seriously!

    As a long shot, have you tried using a mouse instead of the touchpad? 🤷‍♂️

    Connecting a 2nd gas tank to a Mercury 40hp 4 stroke

    Just search for a Mercury Marine fuel tank quick connect. Plenty of choices out there. ;)

    1983 starcraft ss180 restore

    My 16' Kingfisher rolls a fair bit when I'm moving around. It's not like a boat with a flatter, more square bottom.

    Tackle boxes

    Well, the weather turned nice today and I did get out to the garage and started organizing the new Ugly Stik tackle bag this afternoon. I have to say that I like it a lot! I believe that it's actually lighter when full than the old box is while empty! :LOL: I got most everything out of the...

    Some good stuff happening

    Indeed! 😁 The old Pioneer still produces great sound, but the display no longer works. We can still use it as is, but it'd sure be nice to be able to tweak things a bit. I'd taken it to the local UbreakIFix place but no joy there. I think those younguns don't know how to deal with stuff...

    Tackle boxes

    I returned the Ozark Trail bags this afternoon and picked up an Ugly Stik medium sized bag. It looks like it'll work out well. Not too big, not too small. And it matches my Ugly Stik fishing rods! 😁 It holds four 3500 size stowaway boxes plus has several pockets and numerous attachment...

    Some good stuff happening

    I bought a new stereo receiver for the garage a couple days ago. Tested it out this afternoon and will be returning it tomorrow. The thing just didn't meet our expectations. :cautious: Here's the old one... a Pioneer VSX-5400 which is about 34 years old. And the sound quality was MUCH...

    22' Islander rebuild

    I did both. Ran wire everywhere using connectors in some places but also made my own busbar as well. To each their own, I say. ;)

    Tackle boxes

    I understand. :) But, we'll be fishing the flats and I like to toss lures. Never have been much of a live bait kinda guy. My wife, on the other hand, loves using live or cut baits. Then again, if I don't stop wrecking my shoulder (like I did again this afternoon), I may never be able to...

    Tackle boxes

    I picked up a couple of soft sided items 2 days ago. A small bag and a larger tackle tote. Experimented this afternoon and the small is too small and the large is too large. Guess I need a medium? :unsure: :LOL: Once I find a size that works for me, I'll relegate that giant old blue box...

    Cutting cable TV

    Okay, I just switched back to Spectrum. I got their Double Play Select package which includes 125 channels plus internet. They also threw in a DVR as well. Total price comes up to the same as what I had with just SlingTV and internet, which is $125/month. Bottom line - I cut my...

    Tackle boxes

    This morning I went to Walmart to buy tackle boxes and fishing gear for my family. I bought a couple of medium sized tackle bags (with 2 plastic boxes each) for my wife and the boy. They'll be for bass fishing. They already have smaller boxes for panfishing. I really got to thinking about...

    Tackle boxes

    This is my current box and it's just too big. I think I got it back in 1985. I may end up downsizing, getting a smaller storage setup and trying not carrying everything under the sun with me. 🙄
