It’s definitely official. It’s already set for March 11th on my Fleet Farm calender.

Mid march at Evert’s. Why go anywhere else.

Throw Duh Kids name in and Thanks to all the sponsers and the IDA Staff.

Got the one in my avatar on Vermillion with a black and orange bucktail (Little Bailey Tail). West Lake and she came up from the depths to nail it.

Sounds great Jack. See ya there.

It’s gonna take me about 5 minutes to remember what I was doing at 34. Happy Birthday Kid!

I too am at the desk. The truly sad thing is I was on vacation last week and wasn’t smart enough to take today off also. And now you know why my nickname is DUH.

I feel your pain. My similar fish was on Maiden Rock flats 3 weeks ago

Duh Kid and a buddy of mine are gonna be there. A GTG sounds like a great idea.

After you have all the paint or as much as possible off of the boat then wash it off with the lacquer thinner. Apply the stripper from the top and let it run downhill. Use a cheap brush. I like the reference to “turtle” the boat. Keep it off off the floor, maybe on sawhorses. Thinner can be found where you get the stripper. Start out with a gallon of each and do the boat in stages, may be a third at a time. Whatever you do do,nt leave the stripper on for any amount of time where it will dry as you will double your work. You should be able to do this in a short afternoon if your set up properly. Like I said previously this is a nasty/messy job so keep kids,pets and your dearly beloved should you be so encumbered away from this toxic goo.

I use to strip cars back in the 70’s. We bought our paint stripper at Sears. I believe there is a product called Strypeeze that might do the trick. Keep the surface wet with the stripper until it bubbles and scrape off with a bondo spreader. Keep mutiple layers of news paper below the boat as you will be throwing it away as you are taking layers off. Wash the surface off with a scratch pad and cheap lacquer thinner. All the safety precautions mentioned should be applied. It’s nasty work and plan on throwing those old tennis shoes away or clean them off as best as you can. This is a chemical strip so stay out of the house until you change. Never grind a surface as you will possibly warp the surface as well as decreasiing the hull thickness. My neighbor s kid wire brushed his 72 Cutlass last summer and all I can say is “OUCH”

THANKS SARGE, I needed that.

I have a buddy who ripped off his transducers on a 16′ Lund using this landing on the ice. Play it safe and go see Dean at Everts.

I bought one last year at Gander Mtn after Christmas when the price dropped a little for after holiday sale. Probobly only cut 50 holes but I’m very pleased with it. And yes it’s no speed demon.

Nice eye Jack. That cold front Sunday wasn’t named Cal, was it? TB and I only got a healthy 16″ LM each and I’ll be getting a new propeller soon.
