The ribs are all bieng steamed. Steaming works best with green oak anyways. The transom and keel boards 2 1/4 inch stuff were gonna stack (spaced) under a pile of my uncles stuff. And check the moisture content in the spring. Hopefully it will be ready to go. The reason red oak is unacceptable is it lets water in the ends of the boards and rots really fast compared to white oak. Wich has a totaly different cell structure. Theres gonna be a vintage 35 hp eatons viking hangin of the back.. Im building for strength. I promise pictures to come

Well i spent 5 hours last sunday looking in my uncles woodlot for a sutable white oak to send to the mill. Checked every tree in 40 acres.. Only found two. One was too small. And one i would have felt realy guilty cutting down for 250 board ft of lumber. It was 80 ft tall and HUGE. So we called his neibour and he conviently had a green log he would cut up for 2bucks a board foot. It worked out quie well

Thats the one. Thanks man. I sent millers an email.. This forum is awsome. You can find the answers to almost anything

Hey guys i need help. I have bin trying to find some rough cut white oak lumber. But sawmills dont generaly have websites or advertise in the yellowpages unfortunatly. Im workin on a cedar strip runnabout and need to replace a bunch of ribs.. Boatshops charge an arm and a leg i would rather give my money to some hillbilly in the woods with a family owned sawmill... Anyone have any ideas? Also anyone know where to find solid brass nails and screws?

Hey i log my oil and fuel consumption if it was a bad pump would have noticed one litre of oil every fifty litres of fuel.. Im not the only one who wont run synthetic in a two stroke. Im not tryin to start a pissing match just sayin i dont think it burns well. Dont know why. Dont care.. I just wont run it in a sled. -

Hey i agree with you on two strokes but mobil 1 in my trucks i swear by my 98 Z71 had 400K when i sold it and ran like a champ nothing but mobil and skids of shingles in the bed for years.. I just dont think the synthetic stuff burns well in twosteokes i like a mineral oil... Shell advance in the polaris and in the boats! -
Thanks for the info guys.. She took the bait deep. There was nobody to give it to so i took it home...filleted it was different to cut up. No bones i left the belly fat. My sister ate it for breckfast thismorning heavily breaded cooked in butter she called me and said it wasent too bad lol. On a side note it fought like a champ. My girlfriend thought it was a turtle at first the way it was fighting.

Hahah i know the exact back lake your talkin about... No bever dam but a lodge on the left...small channel that opens to a medium lake. Lots of rocks better have your tinniy in reverse if you want to make it in there the camsite i have bin goingto for years is within eyeshot of this small channel.

Big cliff the bears will leave ya alone as long as you dont sleep with your food!. Ive heard them on mysites before never bothered me but i guess theres always a chance. "The fishing was slow but we caught a bunch of eyes and a 46"muskie". Well thats pretty good "slow" fishing i would say"
