Good grief... and to think I have an interest in this? :shock:

You may want to look at Harbor Freight for a boat trailer. They're $329 when not on sale. You can usually find a 20% off coupon. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... umber=5002

No new updates on the TV. Been working on other things but thought I'd share my daughter's fun in the TV.

Well, I messed up a spot on my TV build. I was adding motor oil to the lawn mower and not thinking about a little drip on the edge of the bottle I set it on the bow of my TV. I have not fiber glassed it yet. So now I have a spot on non-critical part of the boat where motor oil seeped in and...

Nice rig and outfitting job you've done there. Where's the trolling battery at?

Are you two from around Baton Rouge? Great job on the boat. Hope to see you guys out on University Lake one weekend. :mrgreen:

Well, when I plugged his coordinates in on Google Maps, it's over close to the east coast of Georgia so it is at last brackish water if not salt water. I'm impressed with the area covered. Makes my little outing seem like all I did was get my paddles wet and leave. :mrgreen: I think if I...

eaglechief, It doesn't take much smarts to build Matt's boats. Just look at all the other old codgers around here. :lol: j/k guys. I think you'll like the 500 alot and once the bug kicks in about 2 days after you finish, take a look at the Pirouge TV as your next project. 8)

Re: My Daughter's Boat Great start! Does the dyed epoxy hide the pencil marks on your wood or is it transparent? Also - since I see you have a red and yellow dyes you must have mixed them to make your orange, did you think to make a large batch of the orange dye so as to not have to keep...

Good info, thanks seedtick. In talking with him I told him to go look at those pirogues at bass pro, knowing you had built them, and he said that's what inspired him to ask me about the process... :lol: I've referred him to UJ and to your site Keith as well as Chuck's site here. So he...

The guy I'm asking for was going to build it out of cypress and then coat it liberally with varnish.

Just looking for some friendly advise for an acquaintance. He wants to build a Pirouge with his son but not use fiberglass. I figure the UJ pirouge would work best due to the stems and ribs. But there's a term or technique for using small strips of wood along the bottom so the sides and...

Thanks for the report on that Chuck. I don't think I would have ever ordered it from TV but due to shady business practice of that company they'll never see a shiny dime from me. For $60 I'd just assume go buy a traditional metal camping canteen with shoulder strap.

Awesome pictures! Nevermind, I just saw a harness on one of the horses. I had thought they were wild at first.

Humminbird has been around forever. I'm interested in something like that only for depth finding. If u didn't know already they make small batteries that are good for accessories like that for those who are needing something space and weight conscience. Check out academy or bass pro/cabellas...

Ouch! :(. Good thing a game warden wasn't around to see that or waiting for you to retrieve it.

Thanks for the concern. The Louisiana regs for residential fishing are: 1. Must be marked, tagged and dated with user's name, address, phone and date of placement and marked on eacch end. 2. No more than three with a max of 50 hooks. 3. remove when not in use. 4. Must have an eight foot...

Like I said, the internet had limited information. Instead of a trot line that attaches between two cypress knees or trees, I made one where I can attach it to a tree or cypress knee and attach the other end to a weight and sink it out away from the bank. Or if I did not have a boat I could...

Yeah the paint job was done with a stencil I made. I found it on the internet and cut it out on some regular paper with a hobby knife (hind sight I should have done it with a manila folder) and used a can of spray paint. I'm most likely going to do it again in the future. This time I will do...

Yeah it's water tight. I thought of cutting a couple of channels in it but didn't figure it would make any difference. It would be the same as if I would have done that on both sides and put a deck on top for dry storage. Seeing as how I'm a heavy person the back is tail heavy just with me in...
