    Someone should snap this up. I have an older model Mustang I use for early spring fishing. Because it is a “work style” full body PDF you can comfortably move around in it. If I didn’t have one I’d be all over this.

    These suits aren’t cheap and thought it would be snapped up by now with such a good deal. Hopefully, someone will be looking for something to stay safe and warm on the ice.

    Consider if you do any releasing.

    Some history on Kingfishers, they originally started out as a brand called, Jetcraft was the design was sold to Harborcraft and then Kingfisher. They were always full welded boats with 1/4″ thick hulls. I owned a 21′ deep vee Jetcraft and fished out of it for 17 years. When I sold it, it looked as good as the day I bought it. The flex design of the hulls make these an extremely strong boat. The chine design also makes the deep vees some of the best riding boats on the lake.

    UUUGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!!
    so I have tried boiling this infernal thing for twelve hours, pressure canned it at 11 psi for nine hours and its been on the smoker for the last seventeen hours and it aint edible yet !!
    anyone got any ideas???
    you can read more about it in my meanwhile at iowaboys shop thread and how it came to be supper.

    I am scared to death of what this thing is going to do to my innards when it comes out!!

    The good news is it looks like you are starting to break down the muscle tissue.

    Did you see my post on getting to some open water this week? Scary but had a great day on the water.

    Thanks guys! Doing some research, it seems to be a common issue. I was curious if it was truly my installation or limitation of the transducer.

    SI ducers are mounted high and are out or nearly out of the water on plane. My units are networked so I switch to my non SI ducer for running.

    Just curious, I assume that you have to manually go in and switch transducers back and forth every time?

    If you are open to spitball ideas, remount the base and try turning it out versus a straight pull. Maybe a towel and a large pipe wrench.

    Some rebel said screw it and designed the center console.

    Yeah, all businesses should just to to, “We don’t know when the f’k we’ll get parts or when you’ll get what you ordered.”

    Everything that I order on eBay comes from China and typically takes 4 – 6 weeks for delivery. I can handle Amazon being a week late considering the circumstances.

    When our daughter was in boot camp she said that the only thing that she could see off base from the exercise yard was the golden arches. She said that was all she dreamed about and the first place that she wanted to go when she could go off base. We all laughed hard about that.

    Wish him well and I’m sure he will appreciate whatever you get him.

    If the price of gas goes up, I won’t bother driving to any store just to find out they have nothing in stock.

    Before I retired, my profession was a construction cost estimator. These are the times during my career where it sucked to be me.

    I know 2 couples that signed up to have new houses built months ago and neither have had their house started yet.

    On my Dodge, there was a 2” spacer under the rear spring pack. I wanted to drop the rear a bit and simply removed the rear spacer.

    B- in the stock pot image are the thermometers in the sausage?

    50 pounds in sous vide will take a long time by shear volume. Even with a large pot I have to imagine multiple batches.

    I had to dig a fence post hole last week and the ground was frozen solid at the surface until mid afternoon. Once I broke through the top 4″ – 6″ with a pry bar, it was normal digging. You definitely have to wait until the sun hits the ground and day temps get above freezing.

    With a spinning rod, the rod blank is upside down in the rod holder. The other potential problem with a spinning rod is the fore hand grip and reel seat design might not be long enough to get past the front of the holder, making getting the rod out of the holder difficult.

    Smoke your cheese and serve as slices with the summer sausage and crackers. Summer sausage is all about the seasonings and the right fat content. Not enough fat and it crumbles. 30% is a good place to start.

    The idea of a ball that could roll in all directions keeps coming to mind but I don’t know how it would be pinned.

    That would be amazing.

    And I just figured out how I would design it.

    Your price quote seems about right. I had my 19′ painted inside and out a few years ago. Outside was around $3,500 and inside was another $2,500. My research has shown that wraps are generally 1/2 to 1/3 the price of paint. Everyone I know with a wrap hand loads their boat on the trailer. I’m afraid that if I went with the wrap it would look like crap in one season.

    It doesn’t matter what material the wheel is made of, it’s getting it to pivot or turn 180 that’s the biotch.

    Better Jack wheel and tie rods on the axles so the wheels turn on double axle trailers and I would be really happy.

    What is the specific criticism of your 2 attempts so far?

    Are bolts or welds stronger than rivets?

    Pure assumption on my part but steel bolts vs. aluminum rivets? SS bolts would be stronger. And definitely try to add some support underneath.
