IF you have a pressured fresh water system, like most of the pilothouse models, it is easy to tap into the cold water line and add a solenoid operated valve. From the valve all you do is run a line to the windshield wipers. The pressure from the main pump operates the washers. But if you live in the...

Justinfish: Do you have a link to your builder? I could not find one in either post.

Thanks

Jetty: Whats the link to Cajun - I can't seem to find it.

Here is a question for Lester and the the other folks in "Bass Country" I just got back from a two week trip to America (actually it was Texas and Oklahoma). While in Texas we went to Lake Toledo Bend where my brother-in-law has a lake house. While we were out on the lake in his "plas...

The Dream Catchers MMSI# is 338077839

Hey Pete: Did you ever put a cover on the back of Patience or did you have to shovel the snow and ice off of the deck so you could get inside to enjoy that brown ale? :grin: This weather SUCKS! I think we need to go spend the winter with Jetty. Fried a couple of turkeys myself. Hope you and all of t...

All of the pictures SO and I, as well as everyone else, have posted are good on my computer. The full picture is always there.

Jetty: Are you seeing a problem on your end?

Pete: Here is a picture of my "Pod". As you can see it is an extension on the hull and is 33" in length. Since it is a separate sealed chamber it adds flotation to the stern of the boat. Daigle has put a lot of research and engineering into this "Pod" - it is not just a flat...

Jay: GlacierCraft is the only Manf that I know of that uses the term "CET" . I think it means Closed Extended Transom. EagleCraft, my boat, uses the term "Pod". What they are is an extension of the hull below the engine bracket but not as wide as the entire bottom. It is a separa...

Pete: She does look a little low in the stern but not bad. I don't think you have a lot of extra "Stuff" in the stern and GC has built a number of the 30' so why do you think she is sitting low? Have you talked with Scott about what he thinks the cause is? I have never heard of enlarging t...

I guess we will see how the new cover does in the wind. Winds at the house right now are 30G50 MPH and are forecast to be as high as 80 MPH tonight. Ever seen a big blue tarp in 80 MPH winds? They shred very easily - I know from experience - hence the new super cover! Jetty: Hurricanes officially st...

Pete: Sorry I did not answer sooner I just overlooked your last post - Too Loose let me know I had not answered. You are welcome to come look at the cover, anytime this weekend shold be good. Just get with Too Loose and we can make it happen.

Pete: "Do you forsee any problems with the zipper freezing?" No. Willy, Busters son who is mostly running the business now, repaired a large Motorhome cover for me many years ago and he installed one of these BIG zippers after the original small one failed. Absolutely no problems - and I g...

Jim: No offense taken and from the color (and the fact there are a gazillion blue tarps in AK) it would be logical to assume it was a tarp. I am interested in seeing what the other folks on the forum do/think about covering their boats for the winter. Since winter is coming on so fast I think all of...

JRogers asked "What's your theory in tarping the back of the boat?" Well Jim I guess with all of the space I have in the back, including the dry and wet storage areas and knowing it will be full of ice in the spring I don't want to take a chance on damaging the boat. I have heard of boats ...

boating for the year!

Now Jetty be nice! Yes it was me, Shark Bait, who put a Rolls under my boat but it it hardly a "Behemoth" it is just a "Normal" sized Aluminum boat for ALASKA. :lol: I have been talking to jrogers about trailers and how he might get a Rolls to WA. One thing folks need to remember...

Jetty & Jay: When Steve Daigle built my boat he “strongly” suggested I “consider” painting the boat. A lot of his customers have their boats painted and they really do look sharp – especially when they are new. In fact his boats look good for many years because he has the equipment (huge, dedica...

IWTuna said "I agree with BULLSHIPPER, that being a commercial fisherman's wife may not be that great for sportys." I don't think you should have any fears. Her and her husband Todd only do small scale commercial fishing in Bristol Bay like a large number of family's do here in Alaska. Tod...

I need to chime in here. Sara is the real deal - I can't think of a better choice for the GOP VP slot. I am sure we will see pictures of her soon showing her commercial fishing in Bristol Bay, or skinning a caribou or moose, ridding her snow machine etc. She is honest and very tough - a great choice...

What Jettywolf said. They built the trailer for my 34 and it is the finest towing trailier I have ever towed. Give them a call in Plant City FL 1-888-765-5752.

CanCan: Daigle Welding is building a 42' now: http://www.eaglecraft.bc.ca/boats_cruiser42.html The only issue you would have is if you wanted to use it for charter you have to fight the Jones Act issue. I understand you can get a waiver to use a foreign built hull for commercial/charter but I don't ...

When are you going to show us some interior pictures? Or did I miss them, HUMMM! Maybe I'll have to back into the archives to see if I messed them. Marty: I have posted a few interior pictures taken during the build process - but not since we got her home. Right now, and for the next several weeks,...

Sharkbait, 1st off, Congrats on getting her home! She looks like a DREAM CATCH for sure. You gotta be touting wood as you were pull'in into home port! HA!!! 2ndly,I'll bet!? Is she ready to fish or do you now have a bunch of rigging to do on her? 3rdly, Is that a F150/250/35 or 1500/2500/3500 in ga...

:D Let’s try this again. After a very long time Dream Catcher is finally home in Alaska. Here is the Reader’s Digest version of how we got her from the Daigle Welding and Marine in Campbell River British Columbia to her slip in Seward Alaska. Arrived at Campbell River for the acceptance inspection o...
