Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you, Mark!

Thank you! No, we actually haven’t been to Shoestring yet, but plan to make stay there a few nights this year. The video of us heading out to shrimp was actually Surprise Cove.

We’ve only went out to around Pony Cove so far… roughly 25 miles. We spend more time in PWS than Resurection Bay, but really hit Resurrection Bay for the silvers. We’ve got a bigger 28ft boat now, which makes overnighting possible.

That’s awesome! What kind of boat are you looking to get into?

Bayliner 2859 30ft. Iv been looking at others . So expensive man.

@@KyleScheib That’s essentially what we have! The 289 is just a slightly newer version of the 2859 by what I understand. Great boats. We may be actually selling ours and upgrading in another couple years to a Nordic Tug 34, but have to save some major funds first. Even if it doesn’t happen, the 2859’s and 289’s are perfect for extended stays on the water. We’ve done two weeks on ours and still wanted to stay longer!

Awesome!! You’re most welcome, glad it could be of help :)

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Absolutely! I actually use a full face shield always at the lathe. I don’t want shrapnel exploding into my face if it blows apart!

The one I use is a Rikon 70-220VSR, but if you’re only doing duck calls you can get a smaller one. I honestly don’t know much about other brands, as this is the only one I’ve owned, but if I was knowing I was only going to do duck calls, I’d probably have went with a mini lathe to save space.

What’s the cost on that one?

@@Snowgooseguy I think they’re around $900 new. I bought mine used for $600. But, you can find completely capable lathes for $150+ if you buy used.

@@JustinBeyerlin1 ok thanks I just found the mini on Amazon and it has the attachment for the duck call to set on the machine to turn

@@JustinBeyerlin1 could you tell me the tools I need to start with?

Will do! Unfortunately the next video won’t be until after April 15th (Shrimp Opener).

@@JustinBeyerlin1 do some regular boating videos. maintenance videos or whatever while waiting for shrimping.

@@jonbraman-jz1rfUnfortunately the boat is in outdoor storage and we’ve got a bunch of snow already. Next year it will be back in indoor storage during the winter and I will be able to do more videos 😊 one project I’ll be working on and filming will be removing all my old analog gauges from the dash and flush mounting my Garmin 8612xsv MFD.

Yes, at least with this epoxy, if I don’t put it a pressure pot there will be bubbles.

We repowered this year with a 2023 383 Mag Stroker. Prior to that, it had a 350 MAG MPI, but it got salt water in the cylinders and seized. The 383 Stroker is 350HP and does well getting on plane. Top speed is about 35 mph, which I know isn’t the fastest in the world, but it’s perfect for us and we never feel we lack in power we need. It’s running a Bravo 3 outdrive, which has been great.

@@JustinBeyerlin1 thanks for the quick reply. The one we are looking at has a 350mpi with a Bravo 2. We were just trying to figure out if it would be underpowered with that set up or not. Any opinion?

@@Jumpshiptravel No problem! I personally liked the 350 MAG MPI. It didn’t have any problems getting on step quickly, even with three adults, a full tank of gas and full water, and loaded full of enough gear for 3-4 nights out on the water. Some may say it isn’t ideally powered, but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the same boat and motor combo all over again.

@@JustinBeyerlin1 perfect. Thank you for the insight. It’s good to hear from someone that has experience with this particular boat.

Thank you! :)

Thank you, Jeff!

Thanks, Dee!!

We saw you too!! That’s awesome!!

Thank you for the tip on using AI for wind noise… I haven’t done that yet, but will look into it! I appreciate it :)

Thank you!

You’re most welcome!

Adjust your ratio of epoxy and hardener...

I bought it on Ebay from a company called Breakheart Tool Company. It’s worked out quite well!

I didn’t have a fuel flow sensor on it unfortunately, but the fuel efficiency wasn’t the best. I only owned it for about a year before getting a little larger ocean-going boat. I think my jet needed shimmed pretty bad, which likely made the fuel consumption worse than it should have been.

Thank you! And that’s a great idea.. I’ll give that a shot!

Thank you! It’s a 5/8 mandrel, for a lathe with a MT2 taper, and I believe it is from a company called “break heart tool company”. I bought it from them on eBay.
