Shopping around I found some Minwax that runs 45 bucks a gallon. Was told it is the best sealant for boat decking. Now the adhesive for putting down either the carpet or vinyl flooring says to go on a clean surface, no oils etc. How would this sealer affect the adhesive? I am afraid the adhesive won't be able to make much of a bond with the sealer since the sealer is a repellant. The only thing I can think of is to test a small piece and see how it works. You may need to go with a Thompson water seal type protectant because it soaks in to the wood instead of creating a layer on the outside which should allow the adhesive to bond although it does leave an oily residue. Another option you could try is using aerosol spray adhesive, that's what I used when I re-carpeted the decks in my boat 2 years ago. The way I did it is I removed all the decking that I was going to recarpet (there were exposed stainless steel self tapping screws that were easily removed to remove each deck). I was planning on reusing the decks but instead of going through the painstaking work of stripping the old adhesive off I just bought new treated plywood and used the pieces I romoved as templates for the new pieces. I then carpeted each piece individually before installing them back in the boat. To use the spray adhesive, I would start by stapling the carpet to underside of the decking along one of the lengths, then I would spray the adhesive to the decking then pull the carpet tightly over the top of the deck and then staple it on the underside of the opposite end. Then I would wrap the other sides underneath and staple them too. I then would reinstall it in the boat. It worked great! The carpet being wrapped around all sides created a buffer between the treated plywood and the aluminum. I also put carpet scraps on all aluminum surfaces to prevent the plywood from being able to contact these areas as well.

Make sure to get the screens removed for that moment when you see him working that scrape. I would keep the gun and bow right next to the bedroom window too

How loud is it when you shoot outof it? I'm also assuming this isn't for bowhunting

Are you going to mount the seat pedestal bases centered above each seat bench? Or is the front pedestal going to be closer to the front between the 2 storage cutouts? It looks like if you move it forward you will have to add support underneath since you made the cutouts. Also, just curious, why did you choose not to use treated plywood?

I knew that yotes were moved to "nuisance" category a year or two ago but I wasn't sure if that applied to all counties (you know how Indiana is with different rules for each county ). Nuisance essentially means that if a land owner feels that they have over populated or are being a threat to livestock, then you can shoot them out of season without approval from the DNR.

Have you decided not to deer hunt this year? Haven't decided yet. I did get my bow out and tried shooting the other day. Couldn't hit crap. Was having trouble seeing the target. Guess it's time for another trip to the optometrist. LOL! I've been there! Several years ago I tried hunting without my glasses because I felt the deer were picking me out due to the glare and flash my glasses would give off I still think this is a bit of an issue at times but I have no choice. I discovered while trying to hunt w/o them I couldn't see crap over 100 yds away and I couldn't focus when shooting at things near me. I can't stand dealing with contacts so I am stuck hunting with my lenses on and hoping for the best

I was sick yesterday, so I totally missed this. I didn't even realize Kaeding wasn't going to play. He hasn't played in 3 weeks

Glad to see he is still alive! That's the first Fatboy sighting I've had in a long time.

Oh, and the three logs on top are summer sausage I made. The summer sausage turned out to be kick @$$! I cheated this year and bought a hi-mountain jerky summer sausage kit. I gotta say that I'm really big on the hi-mountain prdoucts altogether.
Has anybody else used other brands of kits such as Eastman Outdoors, etc? I'd like to know what the results of these have been.

Great job John! It looks like you were fishing just off capitol near the dam? If you were I may have seen your boat parked in front of the inlet on the north side On a side note, I've missed seeing you post on IndianaAngler (my handle is chewbacca on that site) but glad to see you posting here. Keep your lines tight and hammer those steelies! I'd sure like to give this a try sometime!
