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...

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

[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]

Any help with confirming this old blue wing teal is appreciated. Was a recent gift from the wife of a hunting buddy that passed away. Has a sticker on the bottom (no lead or rigging hardware) that says "1875 Dodge Decoy Factory." Any books I can get that would have its history??

Anyone ever make up their own model boats? One of my dad's friends made this for him.

Team, I pulled out a rotted piece of plywood that held the battery box in the bilge of my garvey. I will be replacing that plywood with a piece of starboard. Under that failed piece of plywood, which was only epoxied to the mahogany keel, the original plywood hull was covered with a thin coat...

Team, I purchased a used TriTronics Pro200 about a year ago and was just going to introduce it. The unit did not work so I contacted Tri Tronics tech support... "Garmin." They replied quickly with the instructions to "recode" the unit. That effort failed and I now have a unit that they...

Lots of us looking for fun conservation events this time of year. Here is a NJ DU event that is sure to be fun for all...

After enjoying Al's warm pictures, I thought I would share a few of our boy's "snow day" pictures.

Two that survived Sandy along the Jersey coast. A friend captured these for me during a snowy day last week. Weather vanes have always intrigued me, and these are classics.

A huge fan of the Ocean County Decoy & Gunning Show and the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen's Museum, I thought I would share some iPhone pictures of garveys from the Seaport side last weekend. These graceful hulls are a huge part of our heritage that also need to be preserved. Some are in sad...

I have 3 large cracked deck hatches to replace as well as a cleanup of two rear seat/hatches in my garvey. All were secured and sealed with 4200. I tried acetone to cleanup one of the seat/hatch bases last night and am not sure it worked at all. Without something strong, I imagine I'll be all...

Team, I'm replacing two rotted plywood hatch covers/seats in the rear of a garvey. Someone recently said to check out "deck board" or "star board." Figured I'd better check with this experienced crowd before I do anything. Thanks for any assistance on where to find this or how to cut this...

Anyone have an Ezra Hankins black duck decoy that they can post pictures of? Looking for something more detailed than the NJ Decoys book has. Want to compare to a bird I have. Thanks for any help.

Looking for some concepts and/or plans to give to a welder to fabricate an over/under dual 12' sneakbox trailer rig. I have written a number of trailer companies, but had no luck with them. I have seen a few on the road, so I know they are out there. Can anyone point me in the right direction...
