Osprey's greatest adventure yet: from Lake Superior to the Bon Secour river on the Alabama gulf coast. We made it down last Wednesday after a long heavily laden road trip. The truck, trailer, and crew all made it in fine fashion. Virtually everywhere we stopped folks found it necessary to...

Nice Boat

Bon Secour River

I have to agree with Jack. Poor paint job. Because the pattern is similar on every blade, there must have been some grease or oil on the dies when that prop was stamped into shape. My 2 cents. Easy fix though.... a can of spray paint! Capt Dan

nesibus, I am afraid you can expect very little sympathy or agreement around here. A boat's value along with virtually any other product being sold, is based on what someone is willing to pay. Period The fact that you are here at all means to me that you are a wannabe. My advice to you is...

You da man, Bill The server was down when we left Duluth MN Sat. for the gulf coast. I was bummin. We got a motel w/wifi in Rockford Illinois tonite and Presto Wham the brats are back in business. Thank you, sir. There is a dependance on this site. By the way, virtually everywhere we have...

Thanks to David the Helm Hub Guy for the idea. I wanted to dress up Osprey a bit before heading south the day after tomorrow. I had found a piece of nice hardwood at the launch in Bayfield WI a couple weeks ago. I think it is cherry. I hadn't gotten my lathe set up yet after a move so this was...

Kathleen, I don't doubt you have any problems with your boat. You are going through a learning curve getting your boat figured out. A 22 is light enough so that you will experience the "unstable" feeling when you have weight shifts occurring when underway, especially near that speed. Either...

Ken, This is a good one as well: http://www.boat-ed.com/ I think it's good in 42 states, don't know about WA. Dan

I concur with Jim about Marc's newsletter. I had been getting it at my office E-mail and made a special point to make sure he would send it to my home E-mail when I retired. Marc and Wefings are certainly assets to the boating world on the Gulf coast. They will become my dealer when we are...

Thanks Bill, If ya'll look at pic #20 in my album where the anchor is kind of standing up, that is how it lands when it is dropped. If you can imagine the chain on it, you can see that it would be very hard to make it tip over backwards. Many deployments have proven to me that it might be...

David, Thanks for the query, I was beginning to wonder how there could have been over 200 brat views so far and no comments or questions. Because of the angles of the metal you just drop it and back away. Once it snugs up I bump it a couple times in reverse and it is SET. The chain helps the...

All, We are so happy with our new anchor that I felt compelled to share it with all the brats that might apreciate a really good anchor. I made up a pattern and copied the design from a Wisconsin DNR net anchor when we (MNDNR) worked on a cooperative project with them a few years ago. It is...
