Just got this forward from my mother, not sure if it is true or not, but well written, and i could see it happening. Why we shoot deer in the wild: (A letter from someone who wants to remain anonymous, who farms, writes well and actually tried this) I had this idea that I could rope a deer...

I see you all posting pics of your kids and fishing, and because i dont have face book to brag on - I will here! Took the kids out this weekend camping and fishing on Lake Del Valle here in CA, and this is my daughters first fish, a little 13-inch rainbow trout. she was quite proud. This was...

I am going to be purchasing a new motor for my boat. I have access to both the Yamaha and the honda four stroke. Due to our tree hugging, animal worshiping government, two strokes are not really an option here. So my question is simply this: which one is better? I will be using the 150 for...

Hey guys, Question: I want to eventually add a t-top to my cc, what is the best way to mount one? I have seen them mount to the floor, and to the console. The factory console does not strike me as strong enough to hold a top, and I don't want to use screws, I have learned that if it is...

I rudely hijacked someone else's thread asking this question (my apologies). So i thought I would simply start my own thread. I am replacing almost the entire cap, filling in the transom and multiple repairs on the hull for my rebuild. I have been told that you cannot do a gel coat repair over...

Ridge, I am rebuilding/customizing a 1980 V20 CC, and I REALLY like the way that your transom and bracket detail turned out, as well as the console. Excellent Job. Several Questions: Did your boat start as a I/O? Did you keep the factory console and modify it? or did you purchase new...

Hey boys and girls, I need some advice: I have been looking to buy a "real" boat for the last year and have been saving my nickels. I was not going to buy for at least another year, but I have a chance to buy a '79 V20 CC from a friend for what seems to be a steal (1200.00) on a never used...
