Call me today, pretty sure I've got a pound of H4350 for you buddy. Edit- I have extra 1lb H1000 and H4895, not H4350. Sorry.

Great job, Dad! Kent Fasteel is good stuff and tough to beat for straight steel. If you stick with any steel, go up to size 2 at least, 1s may be good, BB may not carry enough pellets for the 20g. A box of each, patterned on a board at 40 yards may decide for you. BB is also unnecessary for anything smaller than fat migrating mallards. 4s don't quite do it unless shooting specificly teal or head shots. I personally use 2s on an average day and lead the bird so much that I miss forward completely or get those pellets in the head. One consideration if you are willing to spend a little money, roll your own steel/TSS "duplex" loads. You can turn that 20 into 12g effectiveness or beyond with TSS. Or lastly, try bismuth off the shelf, more weight in the pellet lends to smaller shot sizes and more pellets in the load. Genuinely, those are mergansers and are as bad as a coot for table fare, maybe just keep that in consideration (basically every other species of duck and goose tastes better). Send me a pm if you want to get into decoying birds, there isn't much better than that!

$5k is a great price, especially with the recent service listed. GLWS.

Too bad her dad let her shoot a dink. Jk. Man that is awesome, congrats even if many years later I'm sure.

Congratulations to Zane and great job, Dad!

This was hard to resist. Good deal for what appears to be a great outboard. Glad you sold it quick!

Dang.

Good job and thanks for sharing!

Narrow-minded comment, now you're becoming ignorant beyond your logic. Not all plants go dormant. Elk eat more than grass. "Of course it would be more optimal" is precisely OPs point. You went negative. If you can't see that perennial vegetation and hydrologic conditions will benefit significantly from the current precipitation, then there isn't much left to say. Enjoy the weather 😎

Your comment on growth is just incorrect and your logic is ignorant to seasonal hydrologic and biotic relationships. I like OPs word-use "primed," a great way for our watersheds to be going into moisture during any month. Very nice is the answer to OPs question!

Congratulations on all accounts!

I have a 2000 Honda Foreman 450ES. It has been a solid machine and runs great. Family-owned. Parts of it could use some love but everything works and it has a 3-ton winch. A recent SxS purchase eliminates its need. I would prefer to trade for something the family can enjoy, starting at 50+cc dirt bikes and quads, but would entertain 400ex or 450r, 12x Swaro, Kowa Big Eyes, others. I value this machine at ~$2.5k and have cash to offset trades as needed. Pm any interest, thanks!

Action screw torque is crucial in tupperware stocks. https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/savage-action-screw-torque-tuning/ I have only bedded one polymer 10 stock and it did help, but it was relatively stout to begin with. If yours is one of the really flimsy stocks, with the bedding effort involved, I'd consider an upgrade. That said, bedding can't hurt and could make good practice for a future bedding job on a better stock.

Far below average, less than 100 miles/year.

Average. I will post odometer/hours photo this afternoon.

I have been planning on coming here to throw some support and kudos back Hunter's way. He took a call about a non-diesel auto repair and gave instant advice contrary to most of the internet belief. Well, Hunter was right and his advice saved me and my 300k Tundra from the junkyard. He also went through a lot of trouble to load the appropriate sections of the service manual for my timing situation. Thanks again, Hunter. Your name and number will make it through my circle for diesel repair and parts.

This is a fiberglass hull, correct?

This 40HP is a workhorse and I really do love it. That load pictured runs about 24 MPH upstream, 28 MPH downstream, 29 MPH empty on a reservoir. My previous 60HP on the same boat was 35 MPH empty for reference. A previous 55HP powerhead in the original 60HP outboard was about 33 MPH. The 40 - 60 HP OMC's in that era have mostly interchanging parts, including the prop size. Yes, I've had multiple engines and almost every repair imaginable to keep it running over the last 20 years that I've owned it. Lessons learned - 60 HP - change the impeller every year, especially when in service as a duck boat. 55 HP - running an engine with a sieve-leaking carb, even to get back to the ramp safe in bad circumstances, will scour cylinders! 40 HP - regular maintenance and learning the engine is worth every penny and effort. Keep fuel stabilizer in the tank and run the engine frequently.

Skip 25hp if you want 3 guys and gear. 1. My boat used to have a console but 35 year-old failing parts were easy to rip out when a tiller became available on this site. For a boat this size and the utility I use it for, I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't go out of my way to replace a working console setup, though. 2. Buy a CNC for whatever outboard you get, this also takes care of 3 and is just sweet to have. Each adjustment of the trim through various parts of the channel, in different wind conditions, with different loads, or a dog walking bag and forth, is money well spent. 4. Yes. 5. You don't track deeper than your prop. My 14ft experience was in your same hull. I wouldn't be concerned any more with your boat than being new to running the river with any boat with an outboard. HuntnTAT2's advice on following guides without jets is key until you start learning the seams, as well as understanding the current river elevation. Dam operations allow for some shortcuts that one ought not assume in all conditions.

Have a friend with a 28" draw looking to get an archery setup with something used and reputable from the last decade or so. $300-700, 60-70 lbs, decent sight, quiver and a couple arrows and ability to safely shoot prior to purchase. Anyone selling? Please post here or pm with details. Thanks for looking.

Got some pms cleaned out, thanks. I will send a request for some pics and price.

Thanks I forwarded this to a friend.

Length and widest measurement?
