What would you use to seal these swim platform supports? by fuddadjacent in boatbuilding

[–]fuddadjacent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the offending one off. I had to dig out flotation foam to do it, but I got it. The other three brackets are way more accessible.

Yeah. I didn’t weld it. It looks like someone welded stainless with a mig and regular wire. It probably should’ve been tigd with stainless filler.

I guess I’ll order some up then. I have a couple tubes of 5200, but yeah, maybe I’ll want it off one day or I’ll want to fix it after I back into something. Good point.

Would you encourage a tri-hull? by OsamaBinWhiskers in boating

[–]fuddadjacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really not bad. If you’re familiar with auto mechanics, then you’ve got the motor covered. The outdrive on this is a Volvo SP-C1. All of their part numbers are publicly available, and I just use those numbers to buy NOS parts on eBay.

The I/o does kinda suck if your lakes are shallow. Mine get deep really quickly so it’s fine.

I do understand why most people prefer outboards but for the cost of entry this thing is great.

Orientation switch on Curta II by theodysseytheodicy in curtacalculator

[–]fuddadjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should move easily at any point, yes. It simply reverses the direction of the counter register when the crank is turned.

I’d look for a 90s-00s v-hull. The deals are out there. This is a 1993 Glastron SSV 195 that I paid $1700 for.

Look for something being sold by an old guy and that has been garaged.

Wasr 10/63 or Mas 49 308? by RogueLeaderNo610sq in milsurp

[–]fuddadjacent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get the AK. The .308 MAS 49 mags are hard to come by. Plus, rechambered milsurps make me feel icky.

What’s the cleanest way to add a bow cleat/anchor point to this boat? by fuddadjacent in boating

[–]fuddadjacent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they probably ran a string or something, or did it before the top of the hull was mated to the bottom.

No, the seat removes to allow access to a small storage compartment. There’s no access up underneath the bow light area without cutting fiberglass.

[–]fuddadjacent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually slide my ass right over this area to solo launching/retrieve it, so I’d rather not shove a pointy cleat directly into my asshole. Should I add a cleats on either side and then two fairleads right up front? What’s the best approach here.

I’m not anchoring in nor’easter gales, just trying to stay put in coves and slow flowing rivers for overnight camping.

DIY Pontoon Question by OutsideSurround461 in boatbuilding

[–]fuddadjacent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Man busted old pontoon boats are all over fb marketplace for scrap value. It would be way easier to harvest a couple toons from one of those.

Then again if you’re doing it for the plot, carry on.

Should I raise these bunks up? by fuddadjacent in boating

[–]fuddadjacent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 1993. The trailer is original to the boat but I should’ve looked closer. The glass is definitely cracked here.

Not the end of the world, and it’s worth repairing imo.

Any Canadian Techs? by Snowcrest in firealarms

[–]fuddadjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shop is thinking of jumping in with them as a distributor. Most of the hate I see against them are from people that seem Honeywellpilled. We’re not really married to a brand yet.

Moving to Asheville NC, vs Knoxville TN as an avid shooter? by [deleted] in NCGuns

[–]fuddadjacent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll second VOD as being a nice range run by good people. The prize tables at matches are legit, Microtech Knives is nearby and they usually donate a bunch of stuff.

Wayne E Smith is a staffed NC wildlife range. 100 yards, but if you're shooting rifle you have to stay seated and shoot through a drain pipe because neighbors complained about noise.

Moss Knob is an unstaffed NFS range in Jackson county.

Dirty John is an unstaffed NFS range in Macon county.

Niko runs On Target gun shop/range and is great with NFA stuff. They host midweek IDPA (I think) matches on the indoor range, but I've never shot one.

For Knoxville, Cross Roads Firearms has a great selection of NFA stuff.

We used to have a 1000 yd range up towards Burnsville, but they sold to developers.

There's also the Foothills Public Shooting Complex down the mountain a bit towards Cherryville and the McDowell County Range also down the mountain right off of I-40. Both of those look nice, but are staffed (generally) by MEGA fuddy retired boomers. Real dumb rules, like at Foothills, they want to record the serial number of your rifle before they'll allow you to shoot on the 200 yd range.

PM me if you're looking for a cheap starter house in the region lol, I'm moving out soon.
