Hey got my new boat in Washington for the first time! It was a bit choppy out their with all the boat traffic! I fished under the lake Union bridge with my dad! I caught 4 dincks under the bridge. Then we moved out to webster point. My dad caught about a 2.5lb smallie two docks before the big gazeebo thing. Were I hear the hose lady is! then two docks after that I lost about a 1 pounder then at the same dock caught another 10in dincker!

Thanks Sarge,
Just to let you know I'm a little ticked at my father at the present time. He's taking my boat as if it's his own. asking me if it's okay if he can take out and such. Oh he also took over the controls at washington and let it rip at full speed when I didn't even have any of the rods taken care of. Plus I'm the one who bought the boat so shouldn't I be driving. He all most allowed my rod with my curado reel blow out.

Thanks for letting me vent
See ya

You can vent whenever you want, Nick. Hehehe.

Oh ya, don't listen to Doug unless he is going to let you pull up to the Boeing shop and use the rivet guns and welding machines!

Thanks for the report.  It was tough for me too on Tuesday with the wind and rain.  Took a beating on my new G3 boat.

Rivets are easy to replace, it's the welding that's a problem....an expensive problem.... and hard to find somebody who can do the work.  Even then, the hull isn't that thick - not very good for welding. Plus the internal foam melts if luck is on your side, catches on fire if not. 

Hey guys
What kind of sealant would you guys suggest for a leaky rivet.

Thanks

Thanks Sarge

Hey Nick,
  Back to Dad taking over your boat on Washington.  Some advice for you, buy Dad a brand new set of golf clubs and set him up a Tee time!  Aren't Dads supposed to be golfing anyway?  Congrats on the new flotation device!  About all this rivets and welding, we need to remember that leaks are going to happen.  The rougher you are on it, the faster it'll leak.  Unless you're in a tournament, what's the hurry?  My old Tracker was 10 years old before the leaks took over.  Don't take all this too seriously or stress about it.  Enjoy the sport and remember, a boat is a tool.  Does a mechinics tools look brand new forever? Not if he uses them!!  Have fun, RON
