I recently acquired a 1980 Kristiansen glass over cedar sneakbox. It didn’t come with a motor, so when I got it home I measured the transom to start looking for an outboard with the right shaft length. It measures about 20” straight down from the top of the motor board to the bottom of the...

Does it happen when the truck is in 2WD, 4WD, or both? I also have a 2008 4WD Tacoma and sometimes when I'm sitting still and switch from 4WD to 2WD I'll run into the same issue for the first couple feet of driving. It feels like driving with the break on and then I can hear an audible "clunk"...

I've decided to part with my MLB Wigeon. It's been a good little boat but it doesn't really fit my style of hunting much anymore. It's sitting on a Venture trailer that honestly needs a little TLC and it's got a Briggs and Stratton 5hp outboard. I'd like to get $1400 obo for everything and...

I purchased this boat while I was living in Washington and I haven't really used it since I've been in Michigan. I don't know for sure who made it originally but judging from the shape and the area of the country where I bought it, I'm guessing it's from Attbar the folks who make the Aquapod...

For the first time I actually get to post something in these threads, these are my first 2 decoys. Many thanks to the Rutgers Institute for all the help and instruction as well as a place to drink a few cold ones, spit on the floor, and shoot the bull. I haven't even been here 2 months but I...

Dave, I know it's not on your side of Northern VA but the Throx Country Store out in Winchester has a very good beer selection and they might stock it if you can't find it nearer to you. As for Blacksburg, I think the best beer that I had when I was down there was Natty Light from a keg but...

So earlier this year I moved from Virginia to Washington state for a new job. Now it looks I'm probably going to be moving again for my new employer to Southwest Michigan around the Kalamazoo area. I've visited that part of the country in the past but living there would be a whole new...

Cool pictures, is it a Golden Plover in the last two pictures? Maybe a Black-bellied Plover?

Congratulations Mike, and I forgot how neat that sneakbox you picked up is. Looking forward to pictures of the restoration.

I towed my sneakbox from Virginia to Washington State when I moved and I would just suggest checking to make sure all your straps, etc. are tight each time you stop to get gas. Additionally, for what it's worth, check the connections between your fenders and the trailer itself. They tend to be...

I seem to remember this book as well, was it Trout Madness by Robert Traver? Or possibly Trout Magic by the same author?

That is too cool!

If you want to read a book on waterfowling on how it was done way back in the day, look up The Fowler in Ireland by Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey which was originally published in 1882. Even though the information and stories come from Europe it's a fascinating read and it talks about techniques and...

Whenever my fiancee asks me about the number of guns I own I just ask her about the quantity of shoes in her closet and that pretty much nips the conversation in the bud.

That is easily the most impressive bit of taxidermy I have ever seen. That thing is just awesome.

You aren't kidding about climbing ability. My parent's had one that lived primarily in the walls of their house (200+ year old building) that would make its way from the basement up to the attic and all around. We would occasionally find its shed skin in either the basement or attic but we...

Here's one more brand http://crcfiberglass.com/cranberrycreekcanoes.aspx It looks like these are built with the square stern elevated so it wouldn't affect it as much if you wanted to actually paddle it.

Cool pictures, that whole area is amazing. My fiancee is from Saranac Lake and we've gone up there twice now and I can't wait for the opportunity to go again.

Thanks from my side as well Lou, saves me quite a bit of headache trying to move another boat 3000 miles. Now that the fleet has been depleted by one, I just need to figure out what to replace it with once everything gets settled in out here. Decisions, decisions...

John, I do have a boat that I'm willing to part with, I'll PM you my number and feel free to give me a shout. It's an LSB Brant 2 and it's currently in VA about 45 minutes or so from Dave. Also Dave, I've sent you a PM
