    Looking for Weights of different Hulls

    Does anyone know a good resource to find the Hull weights of different boats? I am looking at going back to a smaller jet so I can access the upper stretches of the rivers I fish along with still being able to fish when water levels are low in late summer. I am trying to figure out how much...

    temporarily repairing a hole in your boat.

    I literally just had to use this stuff earlier in the summer. Caught a rock I didn't see trying to run a shallow rifle. The stuff works well. Got me home without a problem. On my very first jet, the boat was a piece of junk and needed retired but didn't have the funds. The bottom of my boat...

    Cheap marine carpet

    https://www.budsmotorsports.com/marine-carpet This is some new guy close to my hometown. Don't know anything about him but I heard his ad on the radio and was considering putting the vinyl floor on the deck of my boat. Don't know how the prices compare but its convenient for me because its...

    tube towing for beginners

    Make sure you make wide turns to keep constant tension on the rope. Just watch your speed because this can create like a pendulum effect and the tube can increase speed and sling up next to the boat. Its really fun if the riders are wanting you to do this. If you make too tight of a turn and you...

    WaterWeld to seal up holes

    I don't know if any of you guys do this but I usually keep a tube of "WaterWeld" or "Steelstick" (made by JBWeld) in my boat in case I knock a hole in it. Well...This weekend I did it. I couldn't see a sharp pointy rock that was just under the water and I punched a good hole just in front of my...

    Alweld vs Alumacraft????

    My previous boat was a 1644 flat bottom Alweld. I have fished it with two people on the deck and one on the rear deck and have had no problems with stability. I also fish gigged with the same boat and have had two large guys hanging over a rail on the front and never felt like it was unstable...

    Inflatable Life Vests

    Mine is comfortable to wear. I admit, I only wear it though when I'm on plane. I don't keep it on when fishing. A bit of advice, if you keep it in the back seat of your truck don't let your kids get to it. "Hey daddy what's this?" DON'T PULL TH...." "POOF"

    Al Lindner

    I think that's the problem most people get into when they have arguments about evolution. They don't specifically site which issue they have with evolution. They just blanket all evolution as bad or doesn't exist. You can't deny evolution. Its real. The visible changes can be clearly observed on...

    Al Lindner

    I do like Al Lindner's shows. They aren't too bad compared to some of the shows that are out there. Just curious I don't want to start any kind of argument but are ya'll referring to Macro Evolution where we evolved from apes or Micro Evolution where changes occur from one generation to another?

    Lowe line

    Lowe boats started in the early 1970's by Carl and Dianna Lowe. Prior to that the company was known as Applebee boats which was started by Dianna's father JB Applebee. Carl and Dianna's children sold the company to the Brunswick Corp in the early 2000's I believe. The boats have always been made...

    Lowe 1655 big river...

    The Lowes are built tough and are great boats. My dad still uses his 1976 Lowe paddle jon that he use to guide out of in the early 80's. The new Lowe big rivers are heavier than an Alweld or Blazer though. I was very close to buying a 1755 Lowe when I bought mine but it came down to overall...

    Flooding in SW MO

    Some pictures of the Niangua river below the Benett Spring State Park in SW MO. Looks like I won't be getting the jet out anytime soon. The Gasconade river flooded interstate 44 in two places. They have been re-routing traffic through our town and traffic has been crazy!! If you are not familiar...

    Help with minn kota trolling motor

    I was recommended a place to take my TM to. My wife dropped it off for me while i was at work and told me there was a sign that said Minn Kota authorized dealer.

    Help with minn kota trolling motor

    Yeah I checked the breaker and it was fine. I had just replaced it over the winter. I haven't worked on it yet. I e-mailed Minn Kota and I haven't got a real straight answer. I'm going to try and call them back. My warranty expired on 3-21-17 and that just so happened to be the day that I...
