Jig Man

Yep and after lots of years using the metal pins I switched to the teflon ones. I mold with them in, leave them in to paint, leave them in to bake then take them out to finish the jig.

Cadman is absolutely correct. Follow his instructions and you will be alright. I have been pouring lead for several decades and haven't had problems with it. Just be careful and save.

$2910 is what it books on NADA for average retail.

I'm a line watcher also so I use white Power Pro.

I've been using a Bac Rac for at least 3 years. I always take it with me when I'm in another guy's boat and let anyone fishing with me use it if they so choose.

I have a rotary vise like smalljaw. I use it for all of my maribous and bucktails. When I wire tie living rubber I use a bench vise so I can pull against it. It is a lot sturdier than my rotary. When I use tabs and collars I don't need a vise.

Here in MO the Conservation Dept in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers uses 55 gallon drums with concrete to hold the trees.

Every time a new product comes on to the market lots of guys sell their current models and buy the latest toys. You can get really good buys on some very good used items if you look around.

How many are you wanting?

I really have no idea of what you have done but I'd really like to see some pics. Find a photo hosting site, put your pics on it and them copy them to this one.

Get some good marine silicone and just fill them in, let them dry and sand flush.

It is one of my favorite combinations. I keep some made up in plastics all of the time.

They are better than they used to be. A couple of my friends are now running the Z8s with 225 Optimax Mercs. They seem well built. They used to be very low quality and didn't hold up well. They also were completely under powered like they were designed for a first buyer who didn't know much. That also made them the fastest depreciating boat on the market. I haven't checked that lately and hope they are doing better.

Taking off the old isn't hard to do. Get some lacquer thinner, pour it over a place, give it a few seconds then lift the old carpet off. Take a spackling knife and remove the glue residue. Let it dry then put on glue and carpet. Don't do this indoors unless you have a death wish.

Eze lap

Same day a big cat.

Here is a spoonbill swimming under my boat.

The down scan and side scan units run on way different frequencies than 2d sonar so you won't get interference from them.

I've had mine for about 5 years. It is the best scale that I have ever used. It also works for holding a fish that has a multiple hook bait in its mouth.

If you go for a 2 stroke be sure to get the direct injection engine not electronic fuel injection. They are as easy on gasoline as 4 strokes. I have been running the same 2 stroke direct injection engine for 11 years and if I keep the rmps 4500 and below it gets very good mileage. WOT is a whole different issue but I don't fish derbys so I rarely need WOT.

My boat is bigger than that so I'd only be guessing. My Champion 206 was bid in at a fiberglass shop for $1000. If your boat dealership doesn't have an inhouse carpet guy, go find someone yourself as the dealership will likely up charge you 10-20% for just making a phone call or two.

I don't know about the potty cleaner but limeaway is fine to use on the cowling. Like stated earlier I have been using it for 10 years on my Optimax.

Meguires mirror glaze is the best thing going for vinyl. If it were me I clean the seats then remove them if the boat is going to be in storage.
