Can always add a hunk of pool noodle to any design for that ?high flyer? capability. Not traditional like most of the classic designs here, but very effective as many crabbers use on their float retrievers.

Yes please

Eric, One more thought. We are certainly in different places, and I can't possibly know exactly what's most important to you. That said, as I have aged and lost hunting partners, it has become obvious to me that the quality, not the quantity of hunts has become far more important to me. I have...

Following this too Bob. Mine look like they were replaced at some point, or possibly added like yours. They don't appear very strong, and I'm not sure if the holes have been or will be an invite for trapped water.

Can't wait for the release! This type of preservation and documentation is especially valuable to those of us that have lost our hunting partners over time. This video will certainly also compliment the sights and smells of the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen's Museum which draws many of us back for...

Beautiful boat and woodwork. Almost a shame to paint over the attractive colors and lines. Thanks for sharing!

Mark, I am a huge Muck boot fan. I had a pair of Lacross boots, but found the stiffer plastic particularly difficult to tuck my pants into. I roll the mucks half way down for easy on, easy off, and easy tucking in of any pants. That said, the soft sided mucks are very susceptible to cuts, tears...

Was a treat listening to Steve share his story of "Red Leg" first hand today. Wish I could have spent more time at all the show had to offer. Steve, if you send me your email, I will send a picture of you giving your boat history to the judges. Couldn't master the technology to post here...

Zack Taylor was one of my youthful idols. I would read everything I could that he wrote in Sports Afield and his Successful Waterfowling book which I still cherish, tattered cover and all. He was even kind enough to reply to a letter I sent him via Sports Afield. I keep that letter with his...

Steve, Thank you much for sharing this restoration adventure! Looking forward to Tuckerton too!!

Every aspect of her has gorgeous lines! Hatch and all. Happy 4th and thanks for sharing!! Sitting here laughing at my lab who thinks the fireworks is the gunning on the Bay we can hear from our home.

Folks, I'm not far from LBI. If someone can make arrangements to save these, I'm willing to help you load/secure them for the trip home. If I had the skills, tools and shop to restore these, I'd have been quiet about this offer. Since I can't, I'm hopeful someone else on here can pick them up...

Someone please save these old girls.... http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/boa/5664169541.html

Thanks Steve, almost too obvious to be true after looking at your post. I knew you would hit the easy button for me!

Steve.... I need to build a hatch cover too, so I was excited to see this chapter come up I just cant figure out how to cut the fore and aft frames to match the crown of the boat. Hope there is a secret you can share?

Thanks RL. I read through the link and see I will push beyond the recommended limits if I put a stainless plate there. That said, the galvanized steel anchor sits in a stainless anchor holder on the bow, and the chain, connected by a stainless shackle, lays across the stainless center bow cleat...

Thanks Tod... never thought of metal. I do have some stainless trim from an old repurposed teak hatch cover I converted into seats two years ago. Probably the easiest and most durable fix.

[image] Just noticed my anchor flukes are rubbing the underside of the wood pulpit on my Garvey. Anyone ever deal with this issue before? Not sure if I should just recoat with paint annually or cover with something sacrificial... A small piece or teak or rubber or fire hose?[inline]

What a great project and education for all of us! I have a question on the canvas lap cover that I have been wrestling with. If I cut the canvas as wide as the cockpit, I foresee the funneling of more water than desired into the boat. Not that duck hunting in the rain is a dry sport by any...
