It requires time on the water. Nothing will subsitute for that. Go make your mistakes, learn from them, & read all you can. Good luck

He did Zell's boat to. It's in the pics. Go on through the pics included with the truck and check it out. It has the hurricane on the boat to. It will be a little of both. I for sure am putting my company name on it so it can be a writeoff(Probably up under the console. LOL), but we have not zeroed in on the final design.It's way too expensive to print out the graphic with all the flake in it so we are going to work around that. To match the flake would require another seperate clear layer with the flake up on the inside layed over the entire job. It would be a total lay over after the original job is complete and it's very expensive to do that. Jerry spent 18 months in Iraq and when he got home he bought a boat and had it wrapped. The first day he went to the lake the wrap came off and was blowing in the breeze going down the road. The guy never made the job good so he went in business himself to do the jobs right. He spent six months going all around Texas visiting with as many shops as he could to get the ideas and the tricks they use. He does it right. Did you look at the before and after pics of a few of the boats he did? If not check them out.

You should be able to pick it up on your sonar unit. You may have to adjust the gain, but it will show up if you get your unit dialed in.

I fish the cuts and ditches. Rarely just hit a bed and start fishing down it. Get a map and concentrate on anything that will change it up.

Check this out: Six neck surgeries Three plates with close to a dozen screws in my neck Three pins in R. hip I am fused at: C2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 Do I fish with pain? You bet I do Can I stand in the bow all day? Yes Just depends on how bad you want to be on the water Get to a doctor, have several opinions before going under the knife, and be aware that surgery is no guarantee the pain will go away. I live with pain day and night. You make of it what you want. Good Luck!!!

Go here: wrap-my-ride.org. Look at his work and call him. Check out the job on Zell Roland's truck and boat. If you want his cell let me know. Jack

Huh? No backing here. No leader here either. Braid is not a cure all. What a ridiculous statement.

Check your guides. May have one that is bad and damaging the line. Braid is not bullet proof. It needs to be maintained and changed. If you are breaking off at the knot retie several times a day and strip off a few feet when you do. If it continues replace the line with Powerpro. Your reel will handle 65# braid with no problem.

Caught in the Lions tournament. Unfortunately it died, so it did not qualify for big bass.

It gives up lots of double digit fish. Check your boat carefully if you put in there. It is full of Giant Salvinia.

Most of the ones I've seen are mounting on the bottom of the jackplate.

I checked on this due to heavy oxidation on my boat. The price to fix the gelcoat was right at 2,200.00. The material to wrap and install from the rub rail up was 1,200.00. I could get either a 5 yr or 8 yr warranty depending on the type material used. For a little more we decided to go with the complete wrap. The deal I got was he would let me help and teach me how to do the installation. We will do the sides and top up over and into the interior together. I will do the interior and finish myself using an area in his shop. There are special glues that they use to keep the wrap tight in the corners. As far as repair they are pretty easy to fix by just replacing a section when there is damage. Jerry had a boat in his shop that was in for repair and they had allready cut the section out and were printing the replacement. The shop where I am having mine done requires that the boat be housed overnight in an airconditioned area to control the surface tempertaure of the boat. It is supposed to be critical so that the wrap will adhere to the surface correctly.

I'll let you know next week. Mine is schelduled for next Thursday and Friday. We are still working out the graphics, so I will post the cost and pics when done.

We need it bad. Some parts of town have had some big showers, but not a dang drop since the 22 of April here. Highs have been between 102 and 105 all this week.

Happy Birthday Mike. Tell everyone what you bought(I bought) this morning for your birthday. At least I paid the deposit to hold it for you. Don't you keel over and collapse before you send me my money.

If you fish from a boat and want to practice get yourself a footstool to elevate you a foot or so above the ground. You are not at water level while in the bow of a boat so this will keep you at a level close to being in the boat.

Not here. I have no favorite lures. The one that covers the depth and type of cover the best is the one I will use. I have lures that I have more confidence in than others, but no favorites.

You earn your luck. Lots of hard work and preparation.

No really. The No Name Bass Club Thursday evening tournament (5-8) on Sam Rayburn averages 60+ boats and has for the last several years. Our club even purchased a live release tank professionally built for large tournaments just for this series. It is mounted on a tandem trailer and is equipped with aerators, pumps, and glass sides for viewing. I worked a weigh in several weeks ago and we are even equipped with a generator to allow the weigh in to be lighted for nigh time weigh ins. Pretty sharp and they run a great series.

If you are going to own a boat you are going to have to learn to repair a lot of smaller issues. Otherwise you will be sitting and waiting more than you realize. There is little money in a repair job like this so it gets pushed to the rear in favor of the money making jobs the service department has lined up. You can get keys for an ignition. Get the codes and call a dealership or get a number from them to call and have a dupilcate sent to you. Or you can carry to a locksmith and have one made. Makes no sense to replace the ignition box when all you need is a 5.00 key. Had an issue several years ago with a set of keys for my boat. Called a locksmith and he came to my home and had a key in 15 minutes. I had two extras made and have not had a problem since.

Question 1. NO Question 2. Leak down is a test where you pump up the cylinder and see if it will hold pressure. This will let you know if the rings are allowing any pressure loss. A good set of rings will hold a steady pressure. It will also let you know if the cylinder walls are good to go and if any gaskets are bad or if the head has issues. The pressure will escape at the weakest point.
