The big thing with mine is real simple. Getting the floors flat eliminates most of ther things (like ribs) that would cause you to trip. Also, with a boat that size, everything needs to have a place from tackle boxes to pliers. Again, I am small but both my partner and I rotate between standing and sitting alllll night with no problems ever. One thing about my antique is that although it's only 12 ft long, it's 48" wide. Wider than many 14"s Again though, the floors are the key. read my post. I used 3/8 cdx and coated w/ poly resin then carpet. The thin plywood molds nicely to the floor , is lighter, and will not wear out before the carpet.

Didn't even think of those kinds of products. "on/off" is a marine product that does wonders on removing rust stains from boat decks,etc. Active ingredient is osolic acid.

the whole "coca-cola removes rust" thing was disproven on "mythbusters".

i'm small but I all but run laps in my 12,lol

As bait? neither, I think they leave a bad taste in everyones mouth. peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and fluff?

yea, that's what I meant!!

Sounds like a bunch of questions in one. I fish the same lake primarily now and yes I know where all the humps and bumps are even though I didn't put them there but the question is can I find them in another lake. COuld I adapt to other waters? Can I notice the water clarity, forage base and weather conditions? Personally I can buit not till I fished lots of other places. Fishing one lake is a great place to start because you have a control to compare to. You can notice changes in the lake and adapt. But once you have that lake down, go find another one and do the same.

That would be my guess too . Or maybe it was just one of those playground bully bass.

I used to belong to a private fly fishing club. 7 ponds all connected to a hatchery by a man made river system. Lots of snooty older farts. One day this guy was killing them standing 20 ft from me so I bravely and respectfully asked " what are you catchin' 'em on?" and the response I got was "the bottom" Anyway.... 2 months later there was a thin layer of slush at the edge of the melting ice and I was throwing my fly up onto the icce and dragging it to the edge. When it got to the slushy stuff, the trout would smack the slush and make an upward dimple in the slush. They would hit it every time I stopped it so eventually all you saw were tracks of poke marks going to the edges. The trout naturally would take it every time it finally got pulled off the slush and into the water. Well here comes our same guy from a few months ago and he can't catch squat. I was using a fly I made which is real simple. It's a small white woolybugger with a strand of silver tinsel from the xmas tree wound in and then I "ribbon curl" the ends w/ a pair of scissors. I call it a "hollywood" So when he asked me what I was using because he was so amazed that the fish were trying to come thru the ice for it, I told the tuth,..."a white hollywood" As far as I know, I made that name up the day b4 when I tied a bunch of these but to my amazement, this gentleman was all excited saying "yea, I got some of those...." He didn't catch when I left,....I left one taped to his windshield.

you get what you give.

Dicks sports also has decent prices on minn kota.

All is forgiven, crap happens. You need to resolve your dads situation cause we can't keep lettin' Ike and KVD win everything. You're the new blood. I'll call you and your mom this morning and we can fix everything. Also, Alot of your drama is going on here in RI and you live in Ga, I guess that's why you keep travelling to RI. I know alot of people here and if we can help with things while you are in Ga, let us know. I know dad's problems will be resolved in court but if your grandparents need anything or whatever, let me know please.

sweeping pulls for the fight unless shes trying to dig deep and wrap you then, straight up. Either way, once shes more than 1/2 way to the boat it's up, up, up. Every fight is different, this is just a rough outline to go by.

no explanation. I took my neighbors kid. He got a 3.1. His biggest ever so it all washes. I'm a big karma believer.

And if you read some of his posts, the kid can fish. The crazy thing is that I spoke directly to both him and his mom on saturday when they were on the road here and everything was fine. We even set the time (6:30) Then w/o a call by 5ish, I called her and she just said I don't think it will be possible. This is the 2nd time I didn't book a weekend shift and didn't even get a cancellation call. No explanation, nothing. I really don't get it. At first I thought she was apprehensive about the internet thing but I was meeting the family at their house. They could have my liscense #, reg #, etc. I printed maps and highlighted the route of exactly where we are going and even secured her a spot to park (through a landowner ) where she could even watch if she were still nervous. I let her know how much I respected the fact that she was being a cautious parent. I was taught to at least call if you have to cancel. Common ettiquette.

sorry cant. I know the kid wanted to fish bad but it was taken out of his hands I think. I'm not gonna badmouth his mom on a forum. Just a huge, "WHAT THE....?"

5:02,..supposed to p/u Ryan at 6:30 but havn't heard from him so I call moms cell phone. WHat happened next is so inconsiderate, I can't finish this post.

one more word volkswagen lol, been pulling both my boats w/ a 99 jetta. Believe it or not, I finally had to do the brakes last weekend. 121k on the original pads/rotors,....gotta love those Germans (for their cars only though) sidenote=I won't be buying German again since their panzy attitude took over w/ all the political drama going on. They can go try and sell their stuff to the French now for all I care.

If I could fish with anyone, it would be George W. Bush. I'd love the opportunity to push his azz in the water. But if it had to be someone in the greatest angler debate, I would pick Denny cause everyone could use a little schoolin' and I am a dedicated jig fisherman and I'd like to be fine tuned by the best.

could be a viral sore also

Started w/ a found yellow canoe that was damaged then a 12 ft jon,light duty 14 ft slight "v" 1964 12 ft jon. Current freshwater boat Also have owned 21ft steiger craft 23 ft trophy 17ft Rampage 13' whaler sport 16' whaler jet -current bay boat

Is this brand new?? If so, it sounds like you may need to take some quick steps to avoid owning a lemon. That should be factory tested to Ranger quality standards I would have thought.
