I've used Hydra Shoks & Critical Defense both in a CW40 and both have cycled fine.

Started with a bersa thunder 380, but the design printed pretty bad. Switched up to a Kahr CW40 and couldn't be happier. Super thin, lightweight, and you get the ballistics of a 40. win-win-win in my book. Fairly easy on the wallet too.

All - I've been an avid fisherman for sometime, but recently I've been bit by the hunting bug. Most of what I know of fishing was because I had family members and friends showing me the ropes from a young age. I'd really like to try my hand at dove and waterfowl hunting; however, I don't know...

Well all.... the project bug has officially bit me again, so after much consideration I've decided to sell this jon and start over. It's a great boat and I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out, but I'm itching to get ahold of something I can get out on bigger water (i.e. Lake Erie). If...

I think you will find quite a few fans of a product called Steelflex on this site. I used it on my tin and no more leaks (and it looks a million times better). Just search around the site for posts regarding Steelflex and I think you will like what you see. Great product - even better...

I've got a Hummingbird PiranhaMax 170 brand new in the box I'd let go for $75. PM me if you are interested.

If you are looking to mod your boat you've arrived at the right place. Everything I did in my boat was inspired by some of the builds on here. Just search around in the projects and I'm sure the juices will start flowing. Welcome aboard.

Thanks! It's been holding up pretty well. My buddy and I went out yesterday (combined weight about 370ish) and we had no problems. If we were any heavier I might be a little uncomfortable as it is a pretty narrow boat and the potential for flipping might be there. Also, the weight of the...

Watched the first season and really got into it. AMC has been putting on some quality shows.

I ended up making aluminum brackets for anywhere that would touch the hull and only used the stong-ties for the wood.

Looking to pick up a crankbait rod and I've got a line on a Fenwick Fenglass for $75. I know these have been around awhile and I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with them. If not, anyone have any suggestions on a crankbait rod? Would like to stay under $100.

Steal away. That's why I put it on here. Thanks for the post.

I used 5/8 ply. You might be able to get by with 1/2 inch, but I figured I may have to occasionally step on the decks to get in and out of the boat when tied up to the dock. Also, considering the amount of moisture boats are subjected to I thought thinner wood would be more susceptible to...

Didn't drill into the boat anywhere with exception to the cross members where I bolted on some brackets for the frame. So far the boat has been out twice without any issues. The only thing I might try to fix is that there is a lot of weight to one side with the battery in and it tends to lean...

I made the rod holder mounts so they are removable. I store them in the back deck compartment until I want to go trolling. They bolt onto the oar mounts with a stainless bolt and a wing nut. Check out page 2 of my build for pics of the holders and mounts. Hope it gives you some ideas.
