Re: Here we go, the build... FINALLY Armstrong 28'
She looks great, Howard. I know you posted this in the past, but I cannot find it. How much fuel does she carry? Post some numbers when you get a chance. Still waiting for that permagrin pic.

Re: Alaskan's what a people 2012
Pete, I'm looking forward to meeting all of you folks. Would love to do a little scouting for the future. I'll have to start saving more beer cans for that. I think I have the solution, drink more beer, that way I have more cans to sell! :beer: If we anchor up for the evening around any salmon stre...

The airlines won't let me bring a gun and my bow won't fit in my carry on. So when I get there can I shoot something? :gunner2: You can absolutely check a firearm. I have done it many times. You can even mail a long gun to yourself through the USPS. I hear we might need to check out a few bears for...

Re: Heaters
I fire my Espar, Wallas stove and Wallas oven up once a month over the winter. At -10º it will get into the mid 70ºs in the cabin.

Re: Heaters
I have an Espar Airtronic D4. It has operated flawlessly for the past six seasons. I hear good things about the Webastos as well, but there is no local support up here for them. I had a Wallas in the old boat and it was very finicky.

We finally had a summer here in the north country. We had multiple 70º+ days on the water. It did show up a bit late, though. We had a mid May blizzard. That was a kick to the junk! :nutkick: I did not feel like getting walked by the dog launching, so we enjoyed a night on the trailer with the ESPAR...

Looks great, John. I really like the fold up seats. I think you have room for a few more rod holders.
