Re: PASS THE SWORD THROUGH!

It was one of these but with a forged hook . . . the weight of it falling drove it in http://www.iwesports.com/catalog/lead16.jpg Somewhere in fish heaven a bunch of 'butts and ling cod were giving ...

It seems the more expensive the boat the more tig welding, especially in the highly visible spots or where thin materials are being used or where the welds are so short that mig would be too difficult. However, more builders are using the pulsed or pulse-on-pulse mig machines which in the right hand...

Talk about a bonehead move . . . yesterday I'm re-arranging a bunch of tackle. Had picked up a bunch of old halibut jigs out of a box and was dropping them into another container . . . one of them got me. RH index finger. The jig head was a 16oz lead and was really complicating things so I put it in...

You might be fine if 5 weeks is it. However, though you might not get much growth the bottom will get kind of raunchy looking with a significant stain at the waterline. If you don't like that then painting is always an option later. There is an earlier post somewhere about painting alloy boats that ...

Might half to trailer up the edwing and make it to that . . . uh oh, I just figured out it would cost about a $1000 in gas to get there and back. Oh well. man those steaks look good. I'll bet we'd have a hard time pulling an alloy fest together up here in the NW even though there are tons of boats s...

Really? Are you sure thats going to be OK? Not sure what you meant by that? Matt The bracket looks like it is up to the task, I'm not so sure about the mount plate and the strength available in the boat's transom however. The strain put on a transom is huge when you hang a motor like that, particul...

Marty, the etching primer is only needed as 1 thin (translucent ) coat, It is an acid base and it digs in and seems to stop oxidation quite well. I advocate for 2 coats of epoxy barrier over the etch primer before the bottom paint but it isn't a deal killer. Other primers (over the etch) are a plus ...

I'm sure Pacific has a preferred process The way I do it for an unpainted hull is home brew but it seems to work well: Tape the waterline with blue masking tape and then cover that with thick duct tape (like gorilla tape). Make the blue tape wide enough so the duct tape does not contact any aluminum...

Munson is one of the oldest and largest workboat builders in the PacNW. Most of their current production seems to be in the front loading landing craft types. Very solidly built, ride depends on what hull you are specifically talking about though I would expect one of their older CC's to be a shallo...
