A Humminbird or Lowrance by chance?


A word of warning - You don't look for a muskie that big, he looks for you, Cue the theme from Jaws. :eek:

You are so right Jas, you don't fish for muskie you hunt them. LOL, muskie fisherman are a weird group of which I'm joining. Come on down to the Detroit River with me Jas, bring HuronAngler, we'll hunt some muskie.

Hey doods! Ha! Yah, no puma in the box, no electronics either (haven't yet found that sweet deal).

I grabbed a pair of fishing seats and pedestals, one for the stern deck and one for the bow deck. The seats are sweet, just the butt style - they match perfect with my helm seats...

Very nice!

My pedestal bases are too big and the recess is too deep unfortunately. I did a bunch of fitting and figuring but I can see that I'll need to swap those out for smaller ones. Ah well, no biggie.

I also got the bench deck piece all sealed up with spar and Ruso, sand in there too for traction...

I don't know if you can tell in that photo but I added a 3/4" "cleat" (of sorts) on the top edge to give the whole deck more rigidity.

So yah, still working here, just going slow these days:)

Muskie Hunting - Yah I can see myself getting into such a sport:cool:

Don, that would be cool! LSC/Detroit river I know is one of the best spots for hauling in those toothy logs:D

Hey, hope yall had a great weekend!

Those "butt seats" are great as long as you don't sit on them,..

They make a great place to leaning post though,...........

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

Those seats will be great. I see alot of bassers here in Texas use them. They look like they match very well.

Man you guys are some lucky dudes up north. What a fish. We have nothing to compare here. About the biggest thing would be a catfish and it's not in the same league. Have some strippers but they don't get that big.

Seems like the white magic envelope spread too Wisconsin as well,..

Looks like I'll have to really go look at buying a project to put it on,...

Right now I'm torn between two boats that both have (GASP) windshields,...

And they are both fiberglass,....lol,...

Thank you Dooood,....

And the epidemic slid a little bit back to the West. I got a "Powered By iboats.com" decal also. You da man, Jason. Thanks tons. Now I have to decide where it goes on the windshield. Kinda like where to stick batteries. :p

I was a little afraid Jas came up with a new way dump pieces of glassers. :eek: :D
