Thanks for the compliment paddlin4reds, but I have never driven a train in my life. :wink: That is a slick set up though. I guess necessity is the mother of invention! The outriggers from spring creek are nice but a bit pricey. I might have to do some train driven after all!

I have not tried one yet but would be interested in your findings as well.

I hope you build the Laker! I have had my eye on one for some time now and it would be great to have someone with experience to get help from. I know nothing of lap strake contruction but from what I've read it looks to be fairly simple. GOOD LUCK!

I like both the Laker and the DKdingy the laker has a very sexy look to her as does the DK. I have been looking at the same boats so I could take a passenger or 2 and also fish from easily. The Dk like Mick says would probably be easier to build for less money and is not a flat bottom. Unless...

Ron, Looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for sharing with us. keep em coming.

JC that is a sweet set up also! I remember when that article was published on FAOL. I might consider such a set up in the future if this one dissapoints me. I like the fact you can anchor both ends of the boat at the same time. Thanks for posting the links.

Mike I am honored you choose the method I proposed. Redfisher indicated that other systems are hard to pull but I can assure you the one I configured is as easy to pull for and aft as it gets. I am sure you will customize it to your liking and it will work great. I can't wait to see what you...

Hey Funbun, just get one of them fellers that pinstripes cars to do it or make yourself a stencil and cut it out with an exacto knife and do it yourself. You can also buy some custom made transferable stickers. Google is a good place to start. Have fun!

Yur so right about that one bear, Last time I got into a kung fu battle streamside the only thing that kept me from wuppin all 12 ninjas waz those pesky neopreene booties. I eventually tore up enuff a dem kung fu fighters that the rest turned tail got in there plastic boats and headed down...

Them there shoes are real nifty sept for one thing. I got this real neat sun tan that looks like leopard spots on the tops of my feet. I even used some a that fancy sun hidin saulve I got from Mr. Druckers general store!

OH MY GOODNESS! I have got to go on a trip with you guys! It has to be what I call B.S. nirvana. I will bow to the masters in hopes of achieving this higher level someday. I have a brown wide brim hat as well as a green one. no Akubra yet. Someday, Maybe! :wink:

Your welcome Mike. I am sure you will come up with some good stuff or borrow mine It's All Good. Like my signature says at the bottom!

Here are some pics of the rod holders I got at Bass Pro for only $14.99 and shipping was only 3.95 cuz it was under 15.00 dollars. Not a bad deal! I just rigged up a simple wedge system that works really well at holding it stable. It also can be moved wherever I want it, or on either side. I...

Here are some pics of the trolley i did. hope it makes it more clear! one of three eyebolts the rig ready to string up through the eyes the anchor line going through at center pulled up to the bow And to the stern

Mike I also rigged up a trolley for my pirogue that I made after looking at the ones on-line for kayaks. I simply used an eye hook at the bow middle and stern that are attached by going through the inwhale from the top with a square nut on the bottom and a fender washer at the top of the...

Nice report Mick, I love the name! Did you catch anything or did nurse Ratchet take away your TV privlidges and there was an ensuing riot and lock down? :lol: Nice report. It's good to have company sometimes.

Pirogue, That shite is funny. I have always wondered what the heck eddy was trying to say in that song yet find myself making up my own lyrics at the same time. WHich has been a great pastime for me over the years. Some times when you read the acctual lyrics you are just amazed. For instance...

Mick, What a beautiful place to just Be! You and Robin will never be accused of a life wasted. You get out and enjoy it as much as possible that's what it's all about in my eyes. I call it going to 'Church'! I don't need four walls to get in some time with the Man upstairs. Good On the both...

Welcome back CHUCK! We all missed you even if some of these geezers wont say so they did. They held down thr fort pretty well. You are very proud I'm sure :shock: Sounds like the trip was a bit of culture and wallet shock. I hope the wedding was worth all the expense. Glad your home, Like...
