Navy - 1966-1972. Tin Can (destroyers) Sailor all the way. Two Med. cruises, Shakedown in Guantanamo, Nam & North Atlantic. Got out as a 1st class Bos'un.

You done good !! Looks like a nice find. You'll find a lot of mods for vee's & semi-vees. I started mine but haven't finished yet. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7640 Good luck.

What do you need it for? For Joe Average to trim his 1/4 acre, Craftsman will work fine for years. If you have serious work then you should spend more & get something gooder.

I learned the hard way to keep it open in the summer. I had to replace a tank that wound up looking like a basketball & wouldn't sit right in the boat.

Old age & a bad shoulder got to me. i'm looking at a crossbow for this season here in Pa. I've done a little research & hope to get out & look this weekend. I'm looking at Barnett, Horton or Parker. I like the Excaliber's but just a little costly for me.

I'm assuming that you still need virus software? How does it work with McAfee?

My yellow lab has to have his ears cleaned once a week. Always has. I use a cleaner that I get on-line from www.drsfostersmith.com It's called Ear-Clens & comes in a liquid and pre-moistened pads. Pretty inexpensive.

Wrist rocket works O.K. You have to get within 10 or 12 yards, though. Aquilla makes a .22 that only has primer in it, no powder. These things are really quiet, fairly accurate out to 15 or 20 yards.

I'm up at 5 a.m. & I always have two packs of the instant oatmeal during the week before leaving for work. Yogurt or fruit at 10 a.m. I'm in the office about 60% of the time, though, so I don't burn up as many calories as some people.

Looks good. You did a fine job. Can you give me some info about your anchor set-up? I can't tell what you're using in the front. And is that just a ring on the side? Ever use it in any current? Thanks

I have a Doel-Fin on my '93 johnson 9.9. It made a huge difference. Gets up quicker and stopped the "porpoising". I recommend it. There are a few different brands out there and I guess they will all work O.K.

Just got back from Cabela's with my new trolling motor. It's a Minn-Kota Power Drive V2 50# thrust. I wanted something with a small footprint and a small foot controller because of the small front deck on my deep-vee. The manual isn't clear and there is a tag on the wire that says to install a...

I bought a roll of velcro type material at one of the home stores. It has the hook on one side & the loop on the other. Just wrap it around & it sticks to itself.

That's really cool. He's has everything you need: hat, shades, cold drink, tackle & a driver. Life is good!

Nice job! Very clean looking. Is there much of a weight or cost difference between plywood panels & the high density plastic that you used? The plastic has a couple of obvious advantages.

I have a Garmin e-trex. Very simple device, no bells & whistles. NO maps, not in color. Useful for me when I'm hunting new areas or fishing new lakes. It has a compass, speed indicator, back tracker, trail marking, etc. you can input a point to store or input lat. & long. points. Like I said...

Hell, I'm glad I'm not the oldest TinBoater - being third is fine with me. I can't remember if my feelings should be hurt :wink: OOPS! Gotta go. The seniors special at the diner is almost done.

Just have to think about whether the waters are stocked with trout. If so, you need a stamp even if you're not targeting them.

"SEASONED" That has a nice ring to it.

Looks like I'm still ahead in the oldest category at 60+ - Hey Jim, any prize for being the oldest TinBoater????? FishinCop, Sorry, you lose. I got you by about 18 months. I'm still able to sit up & take nourishment, though. I should have known how young youse guys were by the energy you put...
