^9 Not sure why I like this, but Amy Lee's voice is incredible.

You Treky...

Well, this group won't be bored, we'll definitely have a lot of laughs, that's for sure.

Oh boy, can I get on the payroll on this project?

I get it and I actually agree. The OP's jon boat really shouldn't have a build, but that's up to him. Haven't joked with you in a while tho TNRiver...

I'm calling BS. You moved the post so I wouldn't see it...you...you....you mod you...

I don't see where the OP mention 230 lbs Adolescents? my daughter is 21 and son 17...

I weigh 170 My son weighs 120 My daughter weighs 100 That's leaves 2 of their friends to make up 215 lbs I'm under lock and key about my wife's weigh...

Any idea what kind of weight you added MN? Roughly how big a build div by weight?

If you know your design you can get a quick idea of weight 3/4" plywood - you can figure 2 lbs/sf 2x4 kiln dry - 1.5 lbs/lf - multiply x 1.75 (to be safe) for pressure treated Take a square footage of deck and lineal footage of 2x4 add an additional 15 - 20% for fasteners and say an additional 25% for carpet if you so desire. That will get you close I would say. Prior to fastening the plywood, may add some rigid insulation or spray insulation for more floatation, I guess.

I yelled at me, but I was like my kids and didn't listen.

Way off in what way? Too conservative? Besides, if you're like me and you go out fishing in the ocean in 80' - 100' of water depending on the tide and current, would you dismiss the rating and overload the boat? To me, the rating is gospel.

You beat me to it

I got the repair bill for my stupidity of placing the engine in a bucket...Didn't work out to well for me.

124/78 yesterday 124/72 today Haven't seen 72 in, well, forever!! Heart rate was down to 50 bpm this morning as well. I'm liking that

6-10 around here is pretty minimal. Figure it this way Boom, not many peeps on the rode, the roads got treated all night so they wont be that bad, you can dump the car in a parking garage and by the time you get out the snow will be done. Go have fun, I would

Well, maybe working out will get a good dialog going with you. I was pretty much out of fishing for a few years when my son was into baseball as well as my work schedule changed. Last year was the first year I got back into it. This past winter I tied up about 75 bucktail jigs to keep busy and occupied. Family loved it b/c I was out of their hair. It was all smiles in Jigfishn's household when I got back into it.

Nope The more it’s scarred the better

Enjoy the journey and be passionate in what you do. Good luck mi amigo.

I noticed Canton Res was wide open on the way back from work today. I have a feeling that the next few days will skim it back over tho. Congrats on the 5 lber DogBone!

Had a nice surprise this morning...actually couldn't believe my eyes. BP: 120/78!! I did it twice with a few minutes rest between just to make sure. Second reading was a tick lower. Hopefully I didn't jinx myself by posting this, but I'm really happy where this is going. Now to maintain it for while and hope it's not a fluke.
