    Short shaft kicker?

    I appreciate the advice, but I've never used the eyes since i got her. I strap her to the trailer with a single long ratchet strap up over the whole boat just ahead of the engine and tie up to the dock with the cleats on the side. I put those trim tabs on myself, they are the nautalus type, not...

    Short shaft kicker?

    Yeah, I was looking at some brackets on Amazon, and they look a little flimsy. I wouldn't feel too secure with an expensive motor hanging off one! I've finally decided to get a long shaft engine as I don't want the power head too low to the water and I don't fancy leaning too much over the back...

That seems like a very good price and I wanted a small boat for fresh water fishing. I was hoping the outboard would double as a kicker for my larger boat pictured below. I would...

    Cleaning fishing rods

    I've never washed a lure in my life, or a fresh water rod or reel for that matter. I occasionally rinse the salt water of those rods, but more often I just leave them in the boat and let the rain do it!

    Now I went and did something.

    Yeah, some days when I planed to go hunting, I wake up and look out at the cold and think maybe not, but I force myself to get off my butt and go. Usually happy I did once I hear the dogs barking on a rabbit!

    Mr & Mrs Claus go camping

    Where's this to? Up here in NL, I noticed the pond I drive by everyday was iced over for the first time this year, pretty thin though.

    Mr & Mrs Claus go camping

    I've never seen anything over 30C here in my life, nor do I want to! People here complain about it being too hot once it hits 25C, I have a few uncles who hate anything above 18-20C!

    Truck reporting over hitch weight

    I hear you on the rust. The main reason I bought my F150 was because it has an aluminum body, no rust!

    A little follow up is nice though, just to know what actually worked, so we can all learn a little more.

    Flotation foam

    You say zero damage to stringer, but that pic shows a rotten stringer. You at least need to look and explore a little further back and forward to see the extent of the rot.
