"I was advised on this site years ago... "no knot, let the anchor go". Good advice. I anchored one time in swift water in order to hold a fishing spot. It held, and we fished, but it wasn't a good idea. I recovered and everything…"

"Hi Phil, Interesting article. However, I don't see why the #2 arrangement would be "stiffer" than the other two. I don't see the same taper in the profile in #2 that I see in #1 and #3. To me, the sides in #2 look strictly…"

"Excellent work!!!"

"M, You are probably done by now, but here is my opinion. The best, of course, is to keep going until you get to clean bare plywood. And if that plywood is rotted, then it should be replaced. The epoxy is made to bond to wood. It will probably bond…"

"You are absolutely right about pain sucking. My pain med and the ARNP (Advanced Registration Nurse Practioner) that suggested it have both changed my life, I can fish, work and more. Life is good again. Thanks for the good wishes! Rick Newman"

"Rick, great to see your getting out, fishing and enjoying your boat. I too am about to do a roll over. I haven't rolled the boat over to re-do the bottom in 3 years, maybe more. But the shallow summer runs have caught up to me and the boat and…"

"I have been fishing more this year than I have for quite a long time. I have been enjoying my time in the boat and bringing trout to the net. I have been working on refinishing the frames and interior woodwork as time and outdoor covered storage…"

"Hi Phillip! Thanks. And how is your beautiful boat doing? I saw the repair pictures awhile back. As a result, I started packing two roles of wide duct-tape onboard my boat! : ) Guy"

"Guy,  Good to see your still around.  Lots of new faces and a few diehards.  Boat still looks great. Dorf"

"Hi Rick, I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. I stop by once and awhile to read the new posts. It's always interesting and educational. The Guytanic is also doing well. It doesn't see much river time. On average I get out maybe two…"

"Guy, how have you been doing? How has "Guytanic" holding up and working? I have often wondered how things are going for you. Many folks are online for a while and then disappear. I am glad to see you return, hope you stick around. Rick…"

"The "Guytanic" on display at the Wooden Boat Show in Wilson, WY, on Saturday, May 26, 2018. Thanks A.J. and Dutch for organizing the event. It was a wonderful day."
