    Best recipes

    So what's your favorite or good fish recipes? I have a couple that top my list. Bluegill: filets soaked in brine for thirty minutes to an hour, then breaded with cornmeal and deep fried. Simple but delicious and crispy. Bass: filets placed in baking dish and covered with sautee'd onions and...

    Gas tank

    Since I know now how I'll do my livewell, the next thing for me to understand is the gas tanks. How many tubes/wires are there coming from a belly tank? How much clearance to the bottom of the deck does it need? Well, that's about it really, unless you can think of something else I'll need to...

    Livewell install

    Well, since I have everything I need (except time) to finish the transom, the next thing I'll finish is the deck. To do that, I'll need to install a couple of things under the deck first. Those being the gas tank, and the livewell. I'm a little clueless on both, but much more clueless on the...

    mixing resin

    Well everything for the transom came in today, so now I'm ready to finish the job. One thing is confusing me though. I thought resin came with just resin and hardener, but when I got my resin, it also had surfacing wax that says to mix 2oz per gallon of resin. What is this do?

    anchor wenches

    Hey, I was in bass pro shops the other day and happened to walk by some anchor winches. I never knew they even had anchor wenches, much less electric ones with remote switches. This is just too cool. Does anyone have one of these? The only thing I'm wondering is what if your anchor get's...

    upper deck support

    In the bow of my upper deck, there is a piece of 1/2 inch plywood that's supposed to support people being up front there. The plywood was warped in the center (I can only assume from weight), but still good wood. With it being warped in the center though, the bow would sag under a person's...

    Another boat insurance thread

    I didn't want to take over the other thread with my question. If you get a boat and put a lot of time and money into rebuilding it or fixing it up real nice, will boaters insurance cover the rebuilt value, or the original value (blue book) of the boat?

    Product question

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I've been trying to find a cupholder of this size that DOESN'T have drainage holes. So I'm wondering if anyone has bought this one or knows if it has drainage holes or not...

    Flag

    Just an odd question, does it matter if you fly the flag on the port or starboard side, or for that matter, bow or stern? Just wondering if there's any official rules or traditions with regard to flag placement on a boat.

    light laws

    So the coast guard says I have to have navigation lights, with the red/green up front and the all around white in the back. My question is, would it be legal to add more white lights up front? Here's the deal, I was thinking about adding a couple of "underwater lights" through-hull on the...

    Bow eye hardware question

    So I bought a new bow eye the other day to replace the old one with (post was nearly rusted down to nothing. I had to sheer it off to get the old one off, but it took almost no effort to sheer off the old bolt. Anyway, when I opened up the packaging on the new bow eye, I was a little...

    Why you should wear protection...

    You know, I thought I should post this because I didn't know any better myself just a week ago, so I'm sure other people that are new to fiberglass boat restorations won't know either. I always knew to cover up any exposed skin when working with solvents, chemicals, or when doing things like...

    Transom Repairs

    Well I spent the last couple of days getting into the transom repair. I was originally going to go with the seacast method because I thought the wood was so dissentegrated that I could easily remove what's left with a pressure washer. But that only got me down about 4 inches. After 4 inches...
