I had actually thought about running up to the home depot and doing exactly what you suggest. I could use up one of the many gift cards I got for X-mas.

I actually broke my motor toter (trailer support bracket) coming back from striper fishing just the other day. I hit a very rough stretch of road going into one of the tunnels on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel. The square tube snapped right in half. I think that thing is just thin aluminum...

That was a good call. I am a surveyor and that is what I would do for a start if I couldnt go and look at the boat myself or have a trusted friend do it for me. Hopefully you got a certified surveyor. There are many organizations out there that require extensive training and testing to become...

that is just a rough number all container ships do not carry the same number of containers, they are built differently, length width etc. but more importantly than how much debris what are we going to have to do with it? How much is this going to cost us in the long run?

Check the local hardware store for a piece of pipe that could replace the now too short one and splice in a piece of wire???

I live in Virginia and have fished back bay. It was an awesome fishery until the sea water invaded

Tandem is my choice just for blow out safety.

it all depends on the boat and the accessories they have added..........

thanks for the great read folks I really appreciatte you facilitating my vicarious boating trips.

uni knots for me with no trouble catching big stripers

I had one that I bought at Lowe's.,it came with a punch, instructions and a bunch of snaps. The snaps ended up being cheap pot metal and did not hold up very long. this would probably be much better http://www.sailrite.com/Pres-N-Snap-Fastener-Tool

go big early, that applies to a lot of things but many of us find ourselves wanting a larger boat shortly after the new wears off the present boat. I presently have 3 footitis and my wife has visions of even larger. I remember being very happy with the tiny 16 foot aluminum john boat that cost...

if you need a really fine grit, finer than 600 in an automotive paper you can get stuff made for sharpening surgical tools that is measured in Microns

I want a Tom Cat would you like to "give" me one? Wish I could justify buying that second yacht of yours.

Just my 02 cents on buying things from Ed's superstore in Virginia. I used to belong to a Carolina Skiff board and almost everyone that had bought things from Ed's as best as I can remember was either unsatisfied or extremely unhappy with service etc. Make sure you can get the deal in writing...

I think it looks great! wish I could afford it. I do think it needs east coast exposure and I happen to leave on a river that feeds into the Chesapeake bay. With striper season right around the corner the pilot house would be very nice err I mean would get lots of exposure in real life...

I read a bit on a post on here that said something along the lines of "get the smallest boat you can be comfortable on". if you can not afford to take the boat out due to operating costs it wil sit at the pier or in the driveway.

I have not known Steve very long but I can tell you that he is the salt of the earth! He and my wife work together and he is making great effort to assist in convincing her that a larger pilot house boat is needed in my driveway!! :lol:

I think you will regret getting rid of that F-350. I have an 06 F-350 and I have never thought "my trucks too big" except maybe when parking it. I have owned various 150, 1500 series trucks and they just won't tow like the big guy will or carry a load like it either. You can pay for an awful...

that is crazy!
