  1. Like most toons there just not set up for a motor and battery.You notice the motor mount is in the middle right where the anchor comes out, not good.The mount should be off to one side so its easier to turn around and turn the motor.The anchor pulley should be extended out past the transom so not to get tangled in the motor.As far as battery support goes you'll have to add some plywood 3/8 or 1/2 to support the weight.
  2. Not sure about the head but for the leader i use a tapered leader then cut it at the point that its the same as 8lb maxima and attach there.Then some 6-8 lb vanish 5-6 feet,this gives you 16-18'.Then from there i put on 3x down to 5x.I was casting this leader last week without an Indy with a 3wt Z and had no problem at all.I think at one point i had 26' of leader and was surprised how well it turned over.
  3. That was cool,could make a small one to heat a hot tub.
  4. It's to tie your tippet together.Instead of a line to line knot.Would add weight to the leader but wow are they small.Would be like tyeing onto a beed.
  5. If all you got to do is make the opening wider then thats what i would do.Do you have a gate that you open or is it just open to the alley?
  6. My suggestion would be to try and use your truck.You may go back and forth 20 times but I'll bet it will go.My alley is skinny and i get mine in, 20' trailer and the same truck as you.The key is to start in the right position,once you get the hang of it you'll do it first try.
  7. I had a 24 on mine originally and changed it to two 31's.Lots of power for 4 nights. I welded up a frame to hold the 2 batts and the cases i also added a bar to go across so i can lock them. This gives me 240 amp/hrs plenty for a long weekend. 2 6 volts like Jack said i believe are 240 amp/hrs each so 2 would be plenty.They are pricey and also twice the weight.
  8. Oh OK,I've edited up till July 7th. 14,17 and 19 are bye's.

    Nice,I like simple.Is up eye the hook to use for wets?
  18. Made it out with Webby and since he also needed to make up his match with troutlover the 3 of us went out.We started nymphing for the first while, i had a good brown on but some how broke him off.Webby landed a bow soon after.We continued nymphing each of us landing some fish.The wind started to howl so we switched to streamers.Again we hooked some and landed some.At this point i had 4 webby had 3 and troutlover had 4.By this time webby was a little heavier as he managed to fill his waders a little.We came across some rises so we switched to drys.i got the first one,troutlover tried his luck on the next and broke off.I managed one more,webby was a little cold so he stayed out of the water but after watching us he couldn't resist.He got in the water and casted to a rise after about 20 casts he gave troutlover a try and he couldn't get him either,at one time there was 3 flies drifting by this fish. webby made a final cast as he was getting pretty cold and the fish slammed his fly a beauty bow of about 20". final tally was me with 6 troutlover with 4 and webby with 4.Greatday on the water boys hope to do it again.
  19. Get one of these, problem solved.
  20. Make a mixture of hot sauce spray it on your lawn.I spray it on my dirt around my flowers (oh sorry my wifes flowers) keeps the squirrels away. I have no idea if it will kill your lawn but i don't think you need to much.
