The serial number plate on my engine is missing. Where else can I find the serial number? I've looked all over for the aluminum disk that is supposedly on them, but haven't been able to find it.
I took my wife(9 months pregnant) and mother in law out to the lake to relax and swim. There is a beach about a mile north of the ramp that is a great place to beach boats and hang out in the water. There were 5 or 6 boats on the beach when we got there. We relaxed for awhile in the water...
I'm curious as to what the average is for most people. I have been averaging probably 2-3 times a week since the season started. I mostly fish and usually swim if the wife is with me.
Can someone give me a link(and/or picture) with how their safety chain attaches to the bow eye. Do people just use regular carabiners rated for a lot of weight or some other type of hook?
So I bought a cast net a couple months ago and it has sat in my boat mostly unused until tonight. I learned how to throw it when I bought it, but never caught anything with it.
Well tonight was crazy! I went fishing by myself today. I found a good spot to anchor and started catching fish...
I've heard of people doing this and would love to see some pictures of how they attached the buckets to the boat, as well as the rope to the bucket.
I troll a lot and do fairly well catching white bass and wipers, however I would love to see how I did trolling slower.
2 buckets seems a lot...
I have recently started fishing for catfish a lot more(tastes so good!). How do I tell between the different kinds of catfish? Blue vs channel vs flathead.
This guy came in right at 8 lbs! Was a really good fight!
I just thought I would share this in case anyone else runs into this problem.
I had to replace the bearings in one of my trailer hubs this week. Went and got all the things needed and decided I would switch to Bearing buddies as my father swore by them. Got everything put back together, put...
I had my boat 100% water tight last year, this year I have a leak somewhere that I just can NOT seem to find. Its only about 3 cups worth of water usually after 3-4 hours on the water, but it drives me nutty.
Just curious if 100% water tight is the norm. or am I just OCD?
On the bright side...
Caught my biggest freshwater fish to date. We pulled in ~50 fish tonight, mostly 1-2 lb white bass. A few in the 3 lb range(mix of wipers/white bass). Hooked this guy for the best freshwater fight I've had so far. These guys fight their asses off. This one was about 5 lbs and my buddy...
Re: Tri-Hull Club...Yes? No? Maybe?
Agreed. Absolutely beautiful!
I occasionally think about selling my old boat during my next deployment and buying something new and fancy when I get back, but this forum and pride just keep pushing me to keep on making mine into exactly what I want...
My wife, my buddy, and I went fishing yesterday on Milford Lake in Kansas. The wiper were going ballistic! We caught 9 of em in about 45 minutes and then the bite slowed down. These guys can fight though. None of were huge, but they put on a heck of a fight. Now I just cant wait for the...
The motor trims up and down 100% normal while idling around up to around 50-60% throttle. Once I'm up at full cruise speed or so(20-25mph) the motor will only trim up and will not trim down. It also makes a pretty terrible noise. Once you slow back down to ~10-15mph you can trim down...
Man talk about a bad month financially!
A little more than a month ago the driveshaft on my outboard let go. :facepalm:
Last week on a trip home from the bay I got a flat tire on my trailer. Replaced it.
10 miles after that flat tire, the other tire blew. :facepalm:
Went out to my truck a...
What is the deal!? I rode in a friends 19' capri this past weekend and both seats were practically on the floor! It is not the first boat I've seen like this, but how do people stand it!? I felt like I was barely able to see over the dash and there was no possible way to sit there...
