I might have to cut a part of the transom down to 16 inches for the Go Devil to work right. If this set up is border line as is, would altering the transom take it out of the question?


Maybe I'm just a sally, but I have been in that river and had boat problems. I thought I was dead. It scared the you know what out of me. Now I just go to valdez and get silvers or take a ATV and dip from shore.

Has any one in the interior seen any Morels yet? It has been really dry, but the bluebells have opened up.


When there is shot in the air, there is hope.

Yeah I'm not putting this in that river.



Putting it in the water this weekend, looking forward to doing some exploring!

As the troopers ignorantly informed the wife when I left Willow to come home in a 14' 12 inch high walled flat bottom with 2 inches of freeboard thanks to 300 to 400 pounds of bear bait and my teenage son, "Mam, That boats a coffin!"

Awesome! I like the seat!! Looks classy. Those mud boats can go places most other boats wouldn't dare (except for an airboat). Looks like that boat will be a moose and duck harvesting machine! Have you been out for a ride yet?

Thanks for the comments you guys!

I haven't put this set up in the water yet. I bought it with a 1972 75 horse Evinrude jet on it, took it on the river with that to show to people interested in buying the motor. It fowled a plug for the first guy, changed it and it ran like a dream! Almost kept it, but wanted to recoup some of the cost. Taking this set up on Harding Lake this weekend, maybe get a big laker!

Be safe out there!

So I was gonna repair last years canoe and sell it for what I could, but my conscious was bugging me.

This is it after I sanded the bottom to repair it last week.


And this is what I think I'll do with it.


It kind of has sentimental value; brought home my 1st and 2nd moose, and now I'm gonna garden in it!

Sand it down and apply some new fiberglass and matt to the bottom. Good as new. The nice thing about fiberglass boats. Very repairable. Came back to my canoe being borrowed by the village kids one year and left on the beach. Was busted out in 3 places. Bad. It is not as smooth as it once was but it floats. Don't let that hole scare you.

Who cares if that hole scares Aknative?

It scares his friends that head out to rescue him from time to time!

I did repair it last year, guess maybe I should have used more material. I know I can repair it again, but I've already got a replacement cargo canoe and then a flatbottom. This poor thing is old, rotten, and beat. I can just about twist it into a corkscrew. I've gotten more than my money back out of this canoe; my first 2 moose, beaver trapping. It's time for it change it's mode of providing for the family.

Not sure how many of you live in the Valley, but the first 3 saturdays of each month there is a swap meet at Animal Food Warehouse just a couple miles outside of Palmer. Lots of people have small farm animals like chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and sometimes goats, and lots of animal supplies as well. Often there are other things for sale too - just an FYI for those of you that might want to come and sell or shop.
