Tungsten

I need to add some breakers in my garage panel and add a few plugs. I have room for two i need one 20 amp and also a 15 amp. I can run the wires and cut the plugs in i need help with the breakers.

I've held a few 10' and 9'6 rods and there much more then a 9' in weight.I just got a 10' i dropped down to a 4 wt so it feels more like a 5 wt to me.You should really cast one first a 9' 6 and see if you like it.i was disappointed when i first cast a 10' 6wt that i bought it was more like an 8 wt.

I've been doing a little garage cleaning and have found some things that someone may want. i have a tool stand that came with my ridged power planer that i havent used.Theres legs that add on. a hand skeet thrower a force spray gun a little dusty but never used.

Cool,looking forward too it.

I looked around for some goodies and couldn't find anything worthy so I'll offer up my rowing skills for a day. You supply the boat and fisher people I'll row and bring flies tippet and some Zaya rum. Anytime is good.

Awesome thanks.I'll pick it up or we could meet for a fish over the holidays if the weather cooperates.

I'll take the fan Darrin if its still available.

Yes i should have said that.When my sewer backs up it starts at the bsmt shower floor drain first thats why i suggested it. Tungsten;not a plumber just knows **** runs down hill.

Call 311 its free.2 guys with a power snake will show up.Just clear the access to your drains

About the same as November. Ha ha! I drive by the new weir on deerfoot and 17th and all i see is ice.So mac to carseland would be out my guess is Johnson's island is all ice. police to mac should be open all the way i would think you'll have to push the boat out on ice at Police and the same at Mac. If i were to float at this time of year and put in at Police i would stay in the boat until i got to the down stream side of the cotton wood golf course, thats about 1/4 the way time yourself then you'll no.The mansion run is about half way. Start early!

Then tie one up and post a pic of it.

The flows would be about the same as April so drift times are the same.So about 12 beers for each drift.Pending on ice of course so it could go up to 48 beers and a rescue from the fire dept.Either way bring lots of beer and an ice pick maybe 100' of rope a couple of blankets and a lighter don't forget the lighter. Hope this helps.

Now a days the digital maximizer option on the Minnkotas is a must,big difference in battery life.So the Minnkota Traxxis is the one and the smallest is 45lb thrust. I have an older Endura 30lb ,it moved my toon around no problem it also moved a 1448 jon if it wasn't windy and if i just kept it on low and used it sparingly i could get a couple of days out of a group 27 battery. So if your only a day tripper and you only go short distances the Endura will do.If you like to go for multiple days on one battery and like to troll then the Traxxis is the one.

How has this held up over the years?

LOL! i'll have to buy 4 more rods i guess. flypod

Out of curiosity what type of bottom did you use?How thick and how much fiberglass?If you did it again what would you change? Did you also raise the oar locks?

Nice looking boats,made from VHMW-PE plastic (Very High Molecular Weight-Polyethylene).Talk about one tough boat.

All good stuff thanks for the responses so far. The pedestal seat is a good one however for the home build it presents a few problems.In order for it to be strong it has to be attached to a sub floor that sits above the curved (rocker) parts of the hull.This allows some movement in the hull if you ever hit a rock.This just adds too much weight for what I'm after so the bench is the only thing that works,this also gives good side support and allows the floor to move a bit. Rod holders are a must as has been said,not sure if straight bench's along the sides to store them in or if the bent tubes just under the gunnel's are the best.

Not really sure at this point Andrew.It will be pointless and as light as i can make it.

On any given day in the summer you'll see a variety of boats floating the Bow.Some old some new,they all work.My question is what do you like or dislike?Things like oar lock positions, seat hight ,rocker,side height and rod holders and the like. I'm thinking of building a "Bow" drifter, something a little more suited for our slower water,maybe wider bottom with lower sides and less rocker to float the shallows.Better rod storage and maybe even a bow mount electric for when the east wind kicks up or you just don't feel like rowing. Interested to here your thoughts.

I've herd thats it not such a great idea to glue the carpet down too well,i guess its a bitch to get off and replace.

I never new there was such a thing as marine grade carpet,my guess is it's expensive.I would use indoor/out door stuff or some sort of anti fatigue matting. I have the in/out stuff on mine around the benches and the decks, seams to last.On a lake boat it would be nice on the floor as it would protect the fly lines.

Thanks guys,it was fun and learned allot along the way.

Finished! Stored for the winter.
