I read many post here about Paca Craws and Spot Remover Jigs; well we recently received both at work so I bought both. Yea the both actually work quite well, I highly impressed with the action of the Paca Craws. My favorite color is the Okeechobee Bug which is Green Pumpkin on top and Sapphire Blue on the bottom.

The function of primers on metal is to passivate the surface and temporarily provide corrosion resistance, and they are used to provide an adhesive base for the next coating. Sometimes, wash primers are also applied to aluminum and other metals to enhance adhesion. Once again you show your intelligence; Airplanes & boats have plenty in common even down to their terminology. MIL-S-13949/4 (Military Specification) is the same SteelFlex product which has met all requirements of Military Standards for use by the United States Military. MIL-A-24179A is moisture inhibitive, dissolves adhesives, & displays corrosion-resistant properties. Care to guess what it is? If you guessed WD-40 you would be correct! Every thing know to man has a Mil spec, Mil Standard, AN (Army/Navy) spec, or some other designation for military use.

Another solution Stop buying foreign oil, drill our own oil, build more of our own refineries, and quit giving our technology to foreign countries.

Lure Detailing...Is it an advantage?
Matt your answer is one of the reasons I night fish; here's a little quote from Mr. Hannon which I think fits right in with your answer. Sloppy technique is much more likely to show up in the bright light of day. These fish can be hard to catch in daylight, not so much because they are shy and spooky, but rather because they are bold enough and curious enough to swim right up and see what you are. Darkness covers up an angler's presence and most of all his mistakes. Fish don't feed as regularly at night as they do in the day but when they are feeding, it's far less of a problem to catch them.

First if you're having problems with fiberglass resin flaking off it's because too much catalyst was added making it harder and the surface was not prepared correctly. Second there is more than one type of fiberglass resins 1. Epoxy Resin is a low viscosity, light amber laminating resin that is designed for fabricating parts and other demanding structural applications. 2. Polyester Laminating Resin for laminating thin fiberglass skins on plywood or for general purpose fiberglass repairs. 3. Vinyl ester resin for repairing tank linings, blistering boat hulls, as well as fabricating tough all-around parts. If y'all are using Polyester Laminating Resin the kind used with fiberglass cloth y'all are using the wrong product. Third Steelflex is a product name for an Epoxy Resin which has Teflon plus added; another readily available Epoxy Resin is System 2000 Epoxy Resin which test results have proven superiority over other room temperature epoxies. Its low viscosity and great handling characteristics make it a favorite in the shop too! And yes Ozarkie I've used MIL-S-13949/4, while it is impressive to state that it is used on Airboats it is more impressive to state it's used in the Aero Space Industry because of its toughness and flexibility. Now I've admitted I've used Steelflex you need to admit that by using Polyester Laminating Resin on aluminum you were using the wrong product! Gee aint this fun reminds me of working for North/Grumman

By all means use a quality primer; you can achieve the same results by simply using fiberglass resin. Scuff sand the bottom first, apply the primer, & then paint on the fiberglass resin till the desired thickness is achieved. The key is you do not want a smooth surface; the fiberglass resin will adhere only to a rough surface. You can ask Home Depot or Lowe's if the have an EPOXY BASED RESIN similar to the one mentioned above, there are dozens on the market.

Champion boxer v. champion Ulimate fighter
What's being missed here is the definition of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), no one style will prevail over another. Boxing alone will not do it but neither will Martial Arts alone get it done, but combine 2 or 3 styles of fighting now you have some thing. Again I'll say most Boxers or Martial Artist lack the killer instinct to win in MMA, look at the De La Hoya vs. Mayweather fight one would land a punch stunning the other and they would maybe follow it up with a 3 or 4 punch combination only to back off. Now look at a Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, or Royce Gracie once they hurt you it's over. I don't think this instinct can be taught I believe you're born with it; another perfect example would be Sugar Ray Leonard.

Champion boxer v. champion Ulimate fighter
Having held 3 Golden Glove Titles (Middleweight) & 4 Full Contact Shotokan Karate Titles (1st Ikkyu Brown) it would depend on if the boxer could stay on his feet; if not it would be over quickly. Then again if the UFC fighter was Chuck The Iceman Liddell it might still be over for the boxer. Boxers don't have the killer instinct required to compete in the UFC, neither do most Martial Artist.

Jackplate question?
Make certain you center the jack plate to the transom other than that it's a piece of cake to install. Setting the correct height is aint that hard either far a 25 hp; a good starting point would be setting the anti-cavitation plate around 1 ¼ from the bottom of the boat.

Fishing Therapy

Good yet cheap rod/reel combo...
For your information only As many people here already know I work for Academy and we sale 10 to 12 bait casting combos daily. Of these we get probably 5 back on a week or less for various reasons; that's 45 to 50% that do not hold up under fishing conditions. Now you make a decision if these combos are worth the money spent or not?
