I use to do a lot of aluminium work in my fab shop , a little trick on the tips.
Run a flat file over the end ,like pappee said , pull out the wire . If it leaves a ring or a piece of wire in the...

We have some serious wind here in TX ,50 mph hour head wind and 65 miles an hr vehicle speed gives you 115 mile an hour wind .

I am not Kirk
But on my hover craft I used a 2 amp charger and 035 stainless welding wire, Just dont get in a hurry.
Ron

Harbor freight, Lowes, Home Depot all have engines in that class.
Ron

Any progress on this ?
Ron

How do you fix your carp?
Ron

Kirk
I dont know how to ask this without sounding like I am criticizing, but I am not I promise.

On the quick slick I noticed it has a rough or pebbley finish ,is there a reason for that ?...

on the flounder rig I have 16 inch side ,that is just a little low . with a 60 inch wide sheet if you use 20 inches for sides and transom it works out with no scrap.
Ron

Just a little advice from a old time pipe welder . Never start and stop your welds inside and out in the same place. If you stagger them your chances of a leak are just about zero.
Ron

Papee
I hope you do this. I have a Caviler that was my moms , 18 thousand miles on it
It is a 97 so I am not sure if it is the same type motor.
My bowfishing rig is a 7ft wide by 11 ft long ...

Wonder how much difference there is in a spinout on water and ice?
Ron

Kirk
Glad your ok.
I bet that was a rush when the boat just kept sliding.
Ron

so far I have had pretty good luck, 3 turkeys ,a doe and a big 10 point.
Backstrap gravy and hot biscuits is hard to beat.
Ron

I got side tracked with bow season want start it till after the first of the year.
I do have redrive,prop,alum sheets and motor sitting here.
Ron

I am using the ultra 5 blade on a generac 40 hp
