  1. Thanks guys, I am new to boats and I know there is a lot to learn, I have been looking around. A guy down the street has a fiberglass bass boat tfor sale that looks new, he said he paid 14K for it and will sell it for 8K. He said it has 14 hours in the water (Lake Anna) Seems like a great deal but I do not have 8K, it sure looks nice though. Dan
  2. Thank you for the information, I will keep my eyes open for a used boat. I really like the Jon boat projects. take care Dan
  3. That sounds great, I will read through the links and start thinking about an airbrush. I was holding off on buying any painting equipment until I turn out a good lure shape, I have never used a lathe and will have to buy a book or take a class to get the in's and out's down pat. I plan to use eastern red cedar for my top water lures but I will rip some 2X4's to practice with. White pine is pretty cheap. Dan
  4. Thanks for I live in northern VA and like to fish for bass in lakes around the Culpeper area, I just found a quiet little spot called Crockett park with a pretty lake. I have a dremel tool, I also have a Grizzly mini lathe on order. What I do need to learn about is airbrushes and compressors. I don't mind spending money on good equipment but I want what others have used with good results. I really thank you for the advice and information you gus post. Thanks a lot. Dan
  5. Hello, I have a novice question. How do Jon boats rate in stability? I rented a 14ft Jon last weekend and took in out on the lake for about 6 hours. It was proetty stable even when I stood up to give my back short breaks. I notice that some guys upgrade their Jon boats with flat decks and carpet, and they look really cool. How do they rank in stability? I have a 10 month old daughter and my wife and I are thinking of a small boat to take out on the weekends. Is a mod V better in stability? What would you recomend as the most stable type for a guy who is overly concerned with safety? (Is it best to just stay seated?) I really like your Jon boat conversions, thank you for any help you can offer. Dan

    Hello

    Hi All, This is my first post and I would like to start off by saying I really like this site. I have been looking for a hobby for a while and I want to try my hand at lure making. I am reading through posts in an attempt to choose the correct tools. I want to start with top water plugs and poppers. I look forward to reading through the information you all have posted. Take care Dan
