"Pocket drives" are actually "half tunnels". The original Penn Yan boat company designed the "Tunnel drive" originally for the military so boats could be beached without damaging running gear. This led to recreational vessels being built for sale to the public as well as rescue vessels used by different departments. These inboard vessels were very popular in Maine and in the FL keys due to harbors and inlets that at times had very little water for passage. The trade off was steering at low speeds(especially in single engine models) and a slight decrease in performance and fuel economy compared to a standard inboard. The full tunnel models not only needed very little water for passage, but could often ride over submerged logs without taking out running gear. The "half tunnel" or "pocket drive" design is a compromise for necessary draft, yet in many models provides the ultimate performance and economy. Many of todays top boat builders have either recently built, or currently build inboards with pocket drives. The boat you purchased may have pocket drives or half tunnels, and that model does very well performance-wise with this design for a boat that size/weight. -
Rust-Oleum Boat Bottom Antifouling Paint
Capt Vince Pierleoni replied to Patriot's topic in This Old Boat
Wasn't aware Rustoleum made bottom paint. My advice to anyone purchasing a new to them boat that they will keep in the water is bite the bullet and get it stripped down. Unless its been done already, you can see any blisters and then apply barrier coats. This avoids water infiltration. After that you can apply the teflon paint like VC-17 or the new West marine version. With this stuff you will never again need to sand, and it goes on like film, avoiding build up. The only time I would not suggest using this type of paint is if you will be docked in real sluggish water and will go several weeks inbetween uses. -
Don't forget guys, Okuma makes a high end model called a Catalina and its built like a swiss watch. I have never had a drag issue and some are 10 plus yrs old. For the money, the newer Cold waters and Convectors are tough to beat though.

Congrats Matt, great story! You did everything right, especially being willing to leave. Big kudos to your bride for being willing to let him go that young, thats the key. -

Actually Jerry, it was Freds bro Dougs bow. Both of them meet the description anyways, fine men and sportsmen. From what I understand, a fellow bowhunter from Canisteo picked up the bow and backpack and was fortunate enough to find a name. With the assistance of the DEC was able to track ownership through Dougs purchase of his hunting license. Kudos to all who assisted, because I can tell you Doug would have done the same for another hunter.

Ever have one of "those" mornings........

When it comes to archery hunting, sometimes its hard to believe that it EVER all comes together. -
Congrats Pete! -
Yes, its a longshot, but posting this for one of the greatest humans I know. I just learned that one of the gentlemen that introduced me to Whitetail hunting, left his bow on the side of Potter rd in Jasper NY and drove away to meet up with his brother down the road. When he realized an hour later what happened they returned and it was gone. If anyone hears of a Mission bow set up by Phil Race from the old "Indian Mountain archery" that just "falls into their life", please contact me or "Steelhead'r" through PM. As bowhunters understand, its not just the monetary value but the sentiments of what a great bow it was for him. Thank you. RETURNED!!! Thanks for looking.

Its embarassing and sad that we live so close to Erie county. Here in Niagara county its like "little Montana", yet drive 30 mins to visit a Verizon store and you feel like you got dropped on another planet. No, our dictator gov doesnt really want all of us to leave the state because we fund his follies. I hear all the time from clients of mine how lucky we are to have all the natural resources we have in this great STATE. The way I look at it is, its more ours than his. As Jefferson once said, "when you heap people on top of each other here in cities, we will be corrupt as they are in cities in Europe."

Great post Chowder. Absolutely love bowhunting but each year the all day tree stand vigils get tougher as the knees get stiffer. The camraderie aspect of deer camp or cutting a deer with friends gets better each year, however. I love wallhangers as much as anyone but I would rather see my wheelchair-bound brother score on a deer than myself. I had the priviledge of taking a young relative of my wife on a walk in the Georgia mountains last Christmas, and seeing him with his pretend shotgun and wonderment of rubs and scrapes was as good as an actual hunt.

Thanks for posting. It is unfortunate that election day falls during hunting seasons, but its too important. Get out and vote, it's OUR state too!!!
