  1. Been storing boats out side for 30 plus years with out a problem.The main thing is to have proper ventilation.

    What I do is,I build a rib system over the boat and a minimum of 2 feet past the engine. the extra length is

    for air. The back of my tarps are open.To stop any humidity from forming in the boat.

    I had a balsa core boat store for 10 years this way with out any dry rote.

    Shrink wrap is one of the worse ways you can store a boat. It locks the humidity inside.Do to the air

    inside can't change to the condition outside.

     

    When you build your garage. Insulate it very well.So once it gets cold out it stays cold in the garage.

  2. I was running 30lb copolymer for a few tears. can't find in heavy weights any more.

    It would take about 3 years before the fleas would stick and the only Mono I found

    That would pop a dipsy at 200ft plus.I use big game now It's not great for really bad years

    of the flea.But it holds up great. I have use flea flicker. But I'm have problems with it's

    memory.Every punch I have bought has let the swivel to kick over and jam. Causing the line to twist.

    Having the same problem on the down rigger rods also.

  3. JP. Glad your good. Great to hear you got back on the hoarse.

    Just don't become over cautious on that steering wheel now.

    After one of my big hits.(seat torn from the floor.)I was being to tight with the wheel.

    I started over steering going straight and letting the boat slide in corners.

    It took a bit too relax behind the wheel again.But it happened.

    You hold the steering wheel in a boat like you hold a beautiful woman.

    Firmly.But not over controlling.

  4. Yes be careful out there boys and girls it's hot.

    I been working on heavy equipment for 28 years 96% of the time outside.

    This is the first time the heat has hit me this bad.

    It didn't help that I was steaming a unit on Tuesday.Raised the humidex up

    another 15 degrees.

     

    Brian, Thanks for your concern.
