Way Coool :D :D :D

To re-cap on this subject; I ended up buying a used 10 ft Zodiac. It has wood floors. I have to say that even though it does fit on the top of my boat it is quite heavy and a major pain to get it up there. Just about impossible to do by myself. I'm going to try to sell it this summer and get...

I should have used this stuff to do my floorboards. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php

I like those clear bottom ones. There actually reasonably priced. I may have to sell my heavy arsed Zodiak this summer.

Just thought I would throw this on here. I'm selling my Navman GPS for Ipaq along with Maptech Pocket Navigator with lots of AK maps. Heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1 Cheap way to get a good GPS that displays real NOAA maps.

Well I voted for the 3 blade aluminum mostly because I know mine works well. I would love to try out one of the composite props. One of those may have saved me a prop shaft replacement. My only fear is that if I hit something that would normally ding my alum prop, would probably destroy the...

I have an 03' NOS Yami 75f. I hit a gravel bar last summer and ruined my aluminum prop. When I went to put on the new one I noticed that the propshaft was bent :cry . (600.00 repair bill). I would never count on the "hub spinning" to save anything. Here's a pic.

I have a 75f and can't be happier with it. In my opinion it has more than enough power. I use it for water skiing, fishing, and have hauled lots of people and camping gear. Always gets up on step in a heartbeat. I saved 1000.00 over the 90f and have no regrets. Make sure you get the right prop.

I built the dogon dory bracket but instead of buying a prefabbed plastic mount I made one using 3 pieces of 3/4" plywood sandwitched together with wood glue. I spent about 25.00 total. I would say that it is plenty strong enough. I have been running my 10hp Johnson all summer with no...

Speaking of dipping in the Kenai, I usually go a little later (23rd) and rarely see any other boats. Caught 30 fish in an hour this year. I usually go on someone elses boat because I'm very afraid of ruining my prop. Especially after the fiasco at Halibut cove this summer. Sundog, Do you...

OH MAN those are awesome pics. I'm totally drooling. Unfortunately I'm still having engine problems. Can't say how envious I am of you guys. I expect to see one of those pics on the home page next month.

Bad news for catdogcat.. While fishing in Halibut Cove Lagoon last Saturday I messed up and hit a gravel bar. Wasted my prop and bent my prop shaft on the new Yamaha. :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry . The boat is now sitting at Kachemak Gear Shed awaiting parts and a...

Thanks for the compliments. Especially from Tyboo. If I could get a few people to make some orders I would think about making a batch of them and selling them at a fair price. Only catch is you have to live in Alaska so they could be picked up or delivered. Everyone can take a look at it in...

1 5/8 aluminum tubing 32 feet total - 50.00 Had local muffler shop make the bends, 4 total - 10.00 Stainless bolts to mount to roof of boat - 10.00 Total: 70.00 All the cutting of the parts were done with my chopsaw and the welding was done using my lincoln mig welder. Very easy to...
