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

    Phase 1a begins! The weather turned cooler and I got a little more work done on the boat. Nothing special and certainly not "restoration" but definitely helping with the functionality! This sub-phase is about making the boat easier to fish from and to add a little protection to the Gluvit as...

    I made a trip over to HF yesterday and picked up some more ground anchors. Got one side of the shelter up today. Think I'll leave it like that for awhile and see how it goes. The remaining side faces west so it can give a bit more sun relief for a few more weeks. And I did notice that when...

    Beginner vinyl wraps his boat

    We still use that stuff on RC planes. My wife holds one of my planes covered with Econocote in the pic below. And that vinyl wrap stick-on stuff is also used for plenty of other things. Here's a pic of a beat up old Winchester Model 100 that we covered in Mossy Oak pattern.

    Should I get it?

    I couldn't stand seeing it just laying on its side like that. :D Interesting boat for sure.

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

    Well, I need to do a little work on my trailer. Just waiting for the rains to stop, hopefully later this week. Discovered that my bow V-block had apparently deteriorated and fell off while en route to my fishing trip last week. Didn't notice it when launching. But at the end of the day...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Somebody jump on this one! Not what I need but looks like a great deal with clear boat title and trailer registration. http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/boa/5240388496.html

    Phase 1 completed! Got the basic enclosure set up today but when I tried extending the side panels, the wimpy little ground anchors that came with the package simply weren't up to the task. Will have to go back to HF and pick up a couple more boxes of their 15" earth anchors in order to get...

    Privacy screening a bimini top?

    Anyone ever do this? We spent 8 hours on the water in our little Kingfisher last weekend trying to catch some fish. During that time, my wife had to go ashore twice in order to go potty. That meant that we had to pull up anchor or stop trolling with the electric motor and head landward...

    Got started this morning with the help of my neighbor friend. Two old farts working outside in the heat/humidity is always funny. But, we got the frame assembled without issue. When it came time to place the ground anchors it was very clear that they weren't up to the task for the sandy soil...

    So here is where I have the boat now. It's the side yard looking toward the back of my property. I've added some dirt/sand in order to create a pad which is more level than the rest of the place. Guess I'll just set the shelter up where the boat currently sits right now but will have to do...

    Caught a few small catfish yesterday but that was all. Nice to be out in the boat though! The shelter arrived about dinnertime this evening. The driver said he'd delivered it to a house up the street from me and the address was off by one digit. Apparently the homeowner there was off by...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Man, I really like this one! Too bad it's so far away and I'm so broke! LOL! :laugh: http://northmiss.craigslist.org/boa/5212803716.html

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

    Okay, I'm home with my laptop. We caught a few small catfish today but that was all. No bass or bluegill seen by anyone anywhere. The lake/river level was very high due to all the rains we've had and consequently the water current was pretty swift. The sunfish were probably back in the woods...

    Most of the pole barns around here are sold as kits. Some folks leave 'em open and others enclose them. The rafter frames are steel but I don't know how much load they can take. Similar to this:

    I need a GPS app for my Windows Phone

    Something that I can use on the water. My street app works fine in that application but doesn't work on the water and I can't even tell my boat speed with that app. Suggestions?

    I am not a happy camper. FedEx delivered my boat shelter to the wrong address yesterday and they don't know where. It'll take 4 days before they can track it down and get it back to me. If that even happens. :mad: :mad-new: :yell: Talked with a neighbor about the shelter and he stated...

    That $13k unit looks nice but isn't workable for me. At least for now. Too bad I didn't spend that much or a little more 9 years ago when I bought this place. Could have rolled it into the mortgage and had a nice concrete building for that much money! Still researching here guys. For...

    Good tip about checking C/L for materials. Hadn't thought of that. So I looked this afternoon and found some 20' x 39" pole barn metal siding sheets for 20 bucks a sheet. Not bad. If only I had a pole barn to put them on! :lol: I've been watching for sheds and carports, etc. but haven't...
