    Pressure Washing Hull of Fiberglass Skeeter

    Honestly, go get some hotsauce or starbrite hull cleaner and put a little elbow grease into it, it’ll look 10 times better. Unless your trying to remove alge growth From it sitting in the water all summer like a pontoon, that pressure washer isn’t going to do a thing that a regular garden hose...

    Pressure Washing Hull of Fiberglass Skeeter

    Its fine, just don't use the fine spray tip directly against the boat. Glass and Gelcoat are way tougher than most give it credit for. What are you washing off that you need a pressure washer?

    Sak - Off the Beaten Path

    If you want to explore new territory, Indian hills will provide that all day long. On any reasonable day you basically have access from Deep Water Bay to Nishu bay and from Beulah bay to the West slides. McKenzie Bay isn't too far away and you can take a really scenic tour up the little...

    Dakota Walleye Classic

    and therein lies the million dollar question! You can catch all the 13-14" fish you want with the occasional bigger one mix one. Finding a limit of 17-22" fish like we've all become accustom to has become a challenge. On top of that, the spotty nature of fishing this year, one day they're there...

    Boat dealers

    You say you’ve owned both Lund and Yar-Craft. I’m a Yar-craft person myself and both dealers I’ve worked with have been great. Bought one from Sherm’s Marine in wabash Indiana and he had it setup spot on. I had the radio antenna mount break which he sent me a new one immediately and out side of...

    New boat

    yeh, however some boats are way worse for it than others. And the ones that I’ve been in that are bad for that, are usually also a wetter ride in the rest of the speed ranges also....,,

    Boat Slip Water Scum

    Lime-away and CLR both work excellent. My old Optimax would turn the midsection white after a month of use, those and a coat of wax kept it looking like new! - - - Updated - - - Starbeite makes good stuff also but it’s harder to find unless you have time to order off of amazon or wherever

    Boat seat repair

    You can try Pam's Upholstery in Minot. She does really nice work and is pretty reasonable price wise. I would however caution you on the reuse of the fabric. Chances are it might look ok but if the wood is old enough to be rotten, the fabric is probably brittle and it won't go back together very...

    Tandem towing

    There's some serious fallacies with this video. First is the location of the trailer tires being in the middle of the trailer versus further back as you see on any bumper pull or fifth wheel camper. The second issue is the fact the the tow vehicle is not actually pulling on the trailer and is...

    New boat

    A few things I see in this thread that could us a little more discussion...... As far as adding weight to the stern to make your boat faster, well it's not so much about adding weight as it is about moving weight and or balance. A lighter boat with the same weight distribution is always faster...

    Sakakawea/wind

    Well, I scratched the itch tonight and although my boat is a 1 ft and half and 50 hp short of your “windy day” rig, it was still damn rough! Fishing was fine and it was decent, but the 4 mile drive back on the north shore west of indian hills straight into breaking waves from a solid steady 20...

    yes it will because fishing from shore on foot will really narrow down the spots to fish ;:;rofl

    New boat

    I'm go out on a limb here and make a WAG, my guess from anybody that owns top of the line boat is..............................what they own :eek:. So let me get the list going - Yar-Craft, Ranger, Skeeter, Warrior, Lund, Vexus, Triton, Nitro, Larson, and there might even be a tuffy die-hard in...

    Onboard charger

    I don't leave mine plugged in, typically only a day or so or until the batteries are charged and then I unplug. in the winter I'll plug it in once a month or a day or two. On occasion if I fish late into the day on a Sunday, I might leave it plugged in for the week but i don't do that very...

    Onboard charger

    Surprised no one suggested a Dual-Pro charger. They are well known to be one of the best in the industry. Heck, if I recall right, they used to have display units that were submerged in a fish tank charging away.

    New boat

    This about NOT taking water over the nose, not keeping the bow down. If the bow is down like some other boats, your gonna have wet feet and floors on rough days. In all fairness to the OP, the Reata's were one of the worst for scooping waves over the nose, most any other glass boat will be an...

    New boat

    echo Yar-craft for the umpteenth time in this thread.......................:;:deadhorse. Can't say I have any issue with the 72" TM on my 219 popping out of the water on rough days, and it's an Ulterra so you loose about 4-6" of shaft length. I can say the 60" on my 186 would come out of the...
