Re: Just purchased a potential rebuild candidate

Cobby is 100% right here. Most production boats of the 80's to 90's weren't exactly done with longivity in mind, the stringers were barely protected in quite a pre historic manner. Ply treated properly and protected will last the journey, mine lasted 30 years and only failed due to a leak. They had ...

Re: Premium Members

Re: How far do you cast away from your boat??

This always amazes me ! There's a great saying I was taught, many moons ago........ FISH YA FEET FIRST. Absolutely nothing at all in the theory of what distance you cast from a boat. In fact, apply that rule to any type of fishing, rock/surf etc. Caught many a good fish arriving on rocks, landbased,...
