Redbelly, there really is something neat about fishing in a boat that you built from a stack of wood. But a moneysaver it is not and as Chalk said if you dont have blocks of time to give to the projects it will drag on for years. Alot of the time isn't even the building its the preperation and clean...

Just seems too obsurd, of all the animals that guy was around, all the poisenous snakes, 10' Crocs and everything else and he gets pierced in the heart by a stingray?!?!. I mean what are the odds.

I have seen a post on Florida Sportsman where somebody installed it in a skiff with that 3M spray adhesive. It's closed cell foam and comes in two thicknesses. It seems like it would definately d...

I got some of the seadek samples in the mail and it looks like good stuff. I think one of my projects this winter will be to cover the casting deck in it. I also see Bass Pro has gallons of rubberized paint for around 60 bucks a gallon.
