Dale You did a beautiful job building the Knot Yacht. Great pictures! Bill

Sorry Bill I've known several friends who have had to put their companions to sleep. I know how difficult it is, having seen their emotions. I have often thought how difficult it would be for me, but my time may be coming soon. I've had my miniature poodle since he was five weeks old and...

Don, Those are poles alright. And, they worked great. I like that. I would presume "self defense." Bill

Well, I'm guilty of having called a rod a pole. I fished with an older gentleman for a few years that changed that for me. Every time I said fishin pole, he said rod. Now, it is imprinted behind my forehead "Rod." :lol: But I have to give those who prefer to call a rod a pole an out by...

Just looking for some discussion. Bill :wink

Tandem trailer with disc brakes on all 4 wheels :thup A trailer rated at 6,000 lbs GVW, means that after you subtract the trailer weight of 1,200 lbs, you can carry a load of 4,800 lbs. (load includes full gas tanks, full water tank, downriggers, ice chest, remaining fishin gear &...

Thankyou for your prayers. I really appreciate them. Rogerbum, I appreciate your evaluation of Poly-MVA. I was hoping to hear more about the product from someone with knowledge in that area. Having already commited to this process, I will see it through to mid-March. Having read about this...

Earlier this month, I received the depressing results of a biopsy taken from my Miniature Poodle (Remy). He has prostate cancer. I understand this is rare for a netered male. According to my veterinarian, surgery is not an option. Remy is not in any noticeable pain following his discomfort...

Anita Marie, I must apologize for giving you bad information. In my new 2005 Cabalas catalog, there is an electric "850 Penn Downrigger." Earlier when you posted your question about downriggers, I had just been on the telephone with a downrigger repair shop in Portland. They had overhauled...

I wonder if California or Nevada will be the first to seize old geezers drivers license? I guess we could get one of those three wheel bikes to tow our trailers with. Wow! Those down hill rides are going to eat the tennis shoes right off your feet. :shock: :shock: :shock: Bill

Don, I've been to alot of those boat shows. If Seattle is like the rest, I don't mine staying home. They just get you cranked up. Fish that boat for a while and get used to it. I figure by the time I'm 70 (4 more years) I'll have to sell the whole works. Then I'll wish I could've bought a...

Don, I've been glancing through "The Sea Anchor & Drogue Handbook" written by Daniel C Shewmon. I don't believe you'll find this publication on bookstore shelves. It is very informative and in the event you were to call Shewmon, Inc. and for some reason you were unable to speak with Daniel...

Initially, I was hesitant to buy a sea anchor. Until they ban 2 strokes from Lake Tahoe, I fished the lake all through the winter. There were times when the weather and water conditions got very bad. A sea anchor will stabilize the boat and make conditions more comfortable while saving fuel...

Just A Thought! In the cold waters of the Northwest, a life jacket is required equipment and a sea anchor is not. Would you rather be in the water with a life jacket on OR warm and dry inside your boat while you wait for assistance? Currently, I'm reading "Storm Tactics Handbook" by Lin and...

Patty, This is the truth - research it. If the radome is at head level for some one standing outside the cabin, they can suffer brain damage from transmissions coming from the radome. I don't know any more than that. I know some people are exempt :wink A steel helmet my protect the rest. Bill

Yea, me too! In Basic Trng, a blk drill instructor was yelling at the guy in formation next to me when he cracked me up with "DO I LOOK LIKE YO SISTER?" Guess who got to admire his dental work next? Bill :lol:

8) :roll: :?: Tom, next time your down this way with your new boat, let me know. Bill :wink:

Answer to #2 Barney Fife?

Congratulations!! Very nice boat! You're not going to get fish blood in that boat are you? :wink You're lucky to have a dealer like Les to outfit the boat. It's a lot of work!!! I had to do mine piece meal. Didn't have access to someone like Les in this area. Congratulations Again!! Bill

Joe, Your right about a time line. I was surprised to see differences that are apparent with the boats side by side. C-Dorys are generally following the same proven design as it has a sea going appeal unlike the more stylish boats. I think our group could be considered more like a cult...
