  1. We tried that. They wanted to do the job for 1800.00. Check out two more, they were somewhat higher and would not offer any info except to derig and sand the hell out of it. I already knew that.
  2. Catt, I need some help. Friend of mine bought an older Skeeter that needs some clear coat. I have no idea what to do to help him. Any ideas as to where I could go to get help with preparation and what type of paint to spray with? Anyone else with any suggestions chime in. I posted elsewhere and got zero replies. Thanks
  3. Catt, I am amazed. What are ya'll going to do for a coach next year? Is the game blacked out where you live? Here's my prediction 27-21. Saban will have his team ready. ROLL TIDE!!!
  4. Blade, make sure you get a picture of the boat.
  5. L.S.u. Oklahoma Ohio State In no peticular order. That's for you CATT!!! I put the small u on it just in case.
  6. LBH if you have the plastics covered I think I will throw in several of those Japanese crank baits. Hope I don't remember what I paid for them, I bought the whole lot on EBAY. He still has not sent me his address so I am just on hold.
  7. Outstanding!. I liked that blue/white 56 belair.
  8. I will find something to send you COD with postage due.
  9. Check all of the motor mounting bolts and any of the complete openings through the transom for dark or offcolored areas around them. this will usually be rot. Lift up on the foot of the motor to see if it gives. You should not be able to lift it up. Walk over the floor and feel for weak spots. They will usually be located around and back of the drains and under the console. What type of Ranger is it? Some of the early models did not have a rear deck. Water test the boat, but let it sit in the water off plane for at least an hour to let any leaks show. When you run the motor it should be quick to come up on plane and should not studder. check to see if the sterering is easy to turn. A steering cable will cost you about a 100.00. I replied to your PM also. Let me know what you find and I will try to help you. Jack Also some of these models had the hull as the bottom of the livewell. I have seen them crack in the bottom of the live well. Check all timers and switches. Your seller might work with you and reduce the price if you find a lot of small things that need to be fixed. I have already warned you about the trailer. Find out when the waterpump was last replaced. If the boat has been run alot it needs to be changed regulary. It will cost about 150.00 to put a waterpump impeler in the motor. While the motor is running make sure it squirts a good steady stream of water out the drivers side of the motor. Look at all the welds on the trailer and check the springs and hangers. I know this is a lot but it has to be done.
  10. Sam Rayburn lake 26.02. All were largemouth.
  11. The real secret is Lake Falcon just below Amistad. The secret will be out in January whin the pros hit it, if thewind will let them fish, 4 day total over 140 pounds, and if just right 150 pounds. I fished a tournament three weeks ago there and two day weights were over 50 lbs to win. Had 36.97 for two days and did not draw a check.
  12. Catt is the winner!!!
  13. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...I am going to let this go until tommorrow before I give you the answer. Here is a hint: The Yellow Hammer is the state ____ of _______.
  14. Allstar might not have a lifetime warranty, but all you have to do is carry them out on Telge road, fill out the form, and they will replace them on the spot. That's in Houston. If you give them a call I bet you can get your rods replaced either through them or a dealer near you.
  15. Scam, Scam, Scam,. This deal has been making the rounds for a while.
  16. Just power load it and snug it down.
  17. I wonder if any on this site really know what a Yellow Hammer is. Excluding you Alabama boys. I may live in Texas but my heart is in Bama.
  18. I am putting together a package with hardbaits and plastics. Let me know his address w/phone number, the type of fishing he likes, types of lakes and I will make you a list of what is coming. If you or he needs to call me it is 281 224-8853. Waiting your reply. Jack

    I have just finished reading most of the post in this section and have become aware that my condition is minor compared to some I have read. Especially when it pertains to a child or young adult. I will say a prayer for all and hope the next time something bad happens it can be someone like myself that has lived a good life instead of a younger one that has not had the chance at life I have had. Best wishes, Jack

    LBH, P-Rock, dystonia is a muscle tone disease that may be inherited or caused from a major accident. The doctors are not sure. The treatment, is Botox injections at the muscle site(my injections are schelduled for Fri. Oct 26) every 90 days. You are also loaded with pain meds and all other types of meds like for seizures. About 25% have or develope head tremors. Thankfully I have not develpoed any. Actually I feel ok but when it gets close to injection time I know I need them as my head will start to get pulled down and to the left. The injections block the nerv sites that keep the neck muscles from pulling your head down. There is much more but I am going to quit here. Jack
  21. I may live in Texas, but I live and breath Alabama football.Several weeks ago one of our local sports stations had a callin for the best college gameday atmosphere and University of Alabama won it. Guess there are more bama fans in the Houston area than I thought. Only made the homecoming weekend so far this year but will make LSU and Auburn games for sure. Roll Tide.
  22. I own a Skeeter, but I have never seen a Bass Cat I didn't like. Never fished out of one but the guys I know that have owned one have all liked them. Might be my next,but I will need one a little longer than 18 ft. You cannot go wrong with any of the three.
  23. It is very bad. hope the best for everyone.
  24. Might be me then. Every time I try to save and work on my mercury it ends up costing me more for them to fix what I messed up.
  25. Good job. That's what keeps you going back. Congrats
