    Anchor Rope

    Yes, braided is more difficult to splice, but when it is done right it looks so cool, gives a more finnished look than the three strand....at least in my opinion....

    Ez loader trailer

    Many different grades of aluminum some are flexible. Many of todays semi trailers are aluminum and rated to carry more than a steel trailer...many suspension arms on todays vehicles are forged aluminum, just as strong as there steel counterparts, just lighter in weight.

    Looking for $200-500 Chart Plotter Fish Finder Thoughts

    Not sure where you are located, but I bought a boat with a Lowrance unit that uses a small card that shows all around the area I live ( great lakes region). I have been up many small rivers and over size creeks with my 16' tinnie and the Lowrance has shown me everything from depth, to drop offs...

    I know you think it is a bargain, but in my area, it is way over priced for its condition !!

    Anchor Rope

    Hate the 3 strand line as it is hard on the hands and seems to be much stiffer...just my opinion though, much prefer the braided lines which are typically more costly!! I guess my old soft hands deserve a little comfort...

    Which Side Left???

    While somone might *****, no one is going to take your trailer away from you for having the ID in the wrong spot...having owned numerous trailers over the years many have been marked in various places, though most have been on the left side ( drivers side), but not always in clear view!!!

    Explosion and Fire Danger

    I recently renewed my home insurance, but had to fill out a questionare before they would do so. Many usual questions like any additions, roofing upgrades etc....then came the questions about..." Have you purchased/ leased an all electric vehicle in the past year? Is it kept in your garage...

    Ez loader trailer

    Seems like once they start rusting they go fast! Sounds like salt water might be your issue. Not sure I would trust it hauling my precious boat. If a serious oroblem would occur, not sure your insurance co would approve if you knowingly used a rusted out trailer....

    How much did a 2008 19' alumaweld stryker sport jet cost brand new in 2008?

    The hour meter or gps could have been easily changed to show low hours....just a thought... You will need to change out any rubber hoses, bellows, fuel lines etc due to age. Even if stored inside in a temp controlled atmosphere, the rubber, plastic stuff still deteriorates. Fuel lines can...

    Boat vs trailer size

    Yep...gotta measure, boat needs supported all the way to the very back, if the boat hangs over the trailer it is not properly supported !!

    Anchor Rope

    My coast gard instructor made the comment that when laying in a pile on the floor of your boat it is a rope, but once you drop anchor it becomes a "rode"....lol..

    Bad Upholstery a Deal Killer?

    Boat and motor appear to be "turds" as you call them. You will easily spend a couple grand getting it seaworthy and never be able to recoup your money. You would be much further ahead to look for an aluminum boat, far less to repair and replace, far less wood to rot out. Stay with motor brands...

    Anchor Rope

    How big is the boat, weight of boat, depth of water average, i always use braided line, more limp, easier on hands, fewer kinks and twists. The diameter of the line is based on those first few questions. I have my line in three 50' increments, easy to add on if extra length is needed. An...

    Battery for Minn Kota C2 30 for fishing canoe

    Being a canoe, I would opt for Lifepo4 battery as well. Weight can be critical in a canoe, however do follow all charging instructions to the letter !! The Lifepo4 are a big improvement in safety from just lithium batteries. A good agm group 27 would be my next choice, more weight but lower...

    Worm Bed Anyone?

    In my much younger days we had a worm bed, not sure I ever bred any as we used them to often ! We would scout all over for worms to add, golf courses etc...probably cant do that today!! We always covered our bed with a foot of leaves/ grass clippings, the action of decaying kept things warm...
