    Prop - Is It Ok

    While loading the boat today, I assumed the water I was loading in was deep enough, so when I put the boat on the trailer and the front came up a bit, my prop bit into the surface a little bit. It scared the edges up just a little on two of the blades and took a small piece out of another. It...

    Uh Oh!!!

    Well I think I might have a leak on my Lowe 16ft Bass Catcher Pro. I took the boat to the lake today and unloaded it so I could fix my bunks and carpet them. So I beached the boat for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. When I went back, I had about 2 to 3 inches of water collected against the back of the...

    Transom questions with Pictures

    Sorry for starting this in a new topic. A mod can delete the other one if they choose to do so. I have been debating on when to change the transom wood or not, or wait until the summer and continue to fish this winter. I went out and took some pictures of the transom as it is now, and would...

    Trailer Runners

    Should of put this in the other post, but it is separate from the boat mod I guess. The guy I bought my boat from has the runners on the trailer all out of wack. One of the board is flat, while the other one is angle outwards. For example, say you were standing at the back of your trailer...

    Just wondering if there is a source for factory replacement rivets to aluminum boats. I really need to change the wood in my transom. Despite having the aluminum plated cap over it, I still don't like it being in bad shape. I know there will be a few riviets I have to remove and was wondering if...

    Question about Fish Finder

    Earlier I posted about a Hummingbird Wide 100 and if anyone ever had any experience with them. Well today, I took the boat out and ran it a little bit, but did not do any fishing. When I put the boat in the water, I run out a little bit and then turn on the fish finder. It showed me to be in...

    Not Pretty, But Get's It Done

    Uncovered the boat today to snap some pictures of it, and to also ask some questions. This is a 1983 LOWE Bass Catcher Pro. It is 16ft long and the registration says it has a 6ft beam, but I haven't measured it yet. This is my first boat of this kind. With that I mean boat with anything over a...

    I Love My Job

    These are some shots from a middle school football game I was assigned to this evening. I love football with a passion and enjoy seeing kids participating in a sport that will teach them as it taught me so many lessons on leadership and hard work while establishing friendships with teammates...

    Three cowboys were sitting around a camp fire one night. They got into the discussion about the fastest thing in the world. The first cowboy said he had to be the human mind. "You look at something and you already thinking about it before you can speak of it." The second cowboy said he...

    A few local buildings I shot during the night time. One is a federal building located in my home county while the color image is the county courthouse located in an adjoining county. Hope you enjoy. One has my name written across it. Only one I had in my photobucket account here at work.

    Removing Boat Striping

    What is the easiest way to remove boat striping and lettering? I was thinking maybe a heat gun and razor blade, but also wondered if there were any chemical solvents that would do the job also. Any information is appreciated. Thank you

    Friend of mine supplied me with one of these units at no cost. He upgraded the ones on his boat and gave me his old one. I hooked it up, but haven't had a chance to hit the water since the installation. Just wondering if these were good FF in their day? Right now, the unit, when powered up will...
