  1. Lenco Lumber carries marine grade plywood. Coat that stuff in two part marine epoxy and it will outlast all of us.
  2. They'd need a big move on the price but....,,https://buffalo.craigslist.org/bod/5418451585.html
  3. Get a ac/dc tig welder and you will never find yourself without the ability to make exactly what you want. That's my plan anyway, just have to save the scratch to but one.
  4. So here is what I've got so far. Making a double tree with my rail mount tite loks and putting the lights up top. Hooked my meter up in line with the lights from my 12vdc power supply. They draw 2.5A. Very bright and look they are quality. Hard to imagine for 18.99 but time will tell.
  5. From what I understand about seafoam is it burns really hot. Which is similar to ethanol. That doesn't sound like a good recipe for a two stroke if you run seafoam and ethanol fuel. However after writing this I will fact check myself. I heard a story about ethanol fuel from a mechanic at a BMW dealer a few years ago. I guess BMW was having problems with new cars popping motors in this area. So the sent a team up to investigate. As the story goes they tested gas from many different stations and found that all had ethanol levels of 25-30 percent by volume. Ethanol and gasoline are slightly different densities and will separate as a result. Best to get your gas at a volume retailer instead of the smaller stations I guess. After having bad ethanol has a few years back, that delaminates my fuel lines and almost cost me an outboard and a big toe bill. I will only run non ethanol from a dedicated pump. Not worth the risk. Especially on older equipment not designed for the ethanol fuel.
  6. Sweet. I'm going to order a set.
  7. Set up some trail cameras. No infrastructure to setup, cheap, and effective. Setup for a five pic series and you will have had quality pics to show to the DA for prosecution. Also there is no streaming video to egress which uses a ton of data or requires a recorder. JMTC.
  8. How did they up through the season. Been looking to add some to helpmeet with the nite bite!
  9. PowerPro. Amazon.com was the best price I found.
  10. In line just in case something falls through.
  11. Ok. That's abit to far for me. I use these reels on my downrigger rods and they work great. Would also make a good lead core real for someone. Best of luck with the sale.
  12. Opti-tackle boards are on sale at northwoodsoutlet for 19.99 which includes the boards and flag system. I have a pair and a pair of church's. Mind you the church's are higher quality but the opti's work just as good. Also consider rigging you flags so they run down and the flags go up when you have a fish.
  13. I used gluvit in my sylvan. I just used a kerosene heater to keep the garage at temp for a weekend. I then poured my foam. Hull was dry, dry , dry after that. I did replace some rivets as well. If I had to do it again I would use painters plastic under the foam by hat way I wouldn't seep where you don't want it and theoretically you could remove it if you ever had to.
  14. A army buddy of mine is stationed at JBER. I am planning to head out there in September to hunt caribou with him. Any advice that will help us be successful would be great. He is of course gathering resident info etc. our plan is to drive north from anchorage to locate the heard then stalk in for a shot. Anyone tried a Alaska hunt before? Any advice? Or words of wisdom?
  15. I picked up there "fish" shaped 10lbrs at the LOTSA flea market last year for 20 or 30bucks for all of them. They are green, I tried them and the opted for all back so I hit them with spray plasti-dip. They track much better than the canon balls with significantly less blow back in the 30-70 fow I fished last year. Good luck, I was kicking around the idea of putting some chrome ladders on them.......
  16. What do you use to coat them? They look great I have a set and they track great.
  17. Nice to meet you today. Good luck with the chatter stix, hope they catch you a monster.
  18. Justin B would you mind sharing where you landed the deal on the reels and if there are anymore available?
