Cool Doodads Fly Rod & Reel Magazine

If there is another deride as rife with tools and gizmos as fly-fishing, I’m not familiar with it—nor, frankly, does it seem conceivable. I cannot call to shilly-shallying a single angling-related procedure, from stringing rods to tying knots to handling split instantly, that some enterprising soul hasn’t tried to make easier, faster or more convenient by inventing a ungenerous device to do it.

The number of such accessories now available is astonishing and not a little ironic given that a great many anglers, at least since the moment of Izaak Walton, have appreciated fly-fishing in part for its alleged simplicity. When I first decided to take a look at this miscellaneous rank of equipment, I immediately shot an e-mail to a couple of dozen angling friends and colleagues of varying be familiar with levels to find out what gadgets they use, get their opinions and solicit some input to help me sort through the imposing number of possibilities. The e-correspondence began, “I’m not much of a gadget guy, so I wanted to ask….”

What is the deepest, widest, welded aluminum boat made in a 18 footer?

I was recently on Puget Bluster in Washington and saw 2 boats that were open work boats with a center counsel in the 18 foot group. They looked like giant row boats. The sides were at least 5 foot high. I found no name or brand on them. Does anybody have any estimate?


Monark Boats has changed it's name to "SeaArk" has built nearly the same boats, and there's a company called WorkSkiff that has one that's Deep-V, and I cant remember the name of a company in the
New Orleans area that built some convention. If you see one in your area, check with the local marine police, they might know whichcommercials firm is using these boats and that could prompt to the source. Also if you have the Boat Number check with the star registrationofficee and follow the thread. Good Luck:


there called big aluminum boats


The only name I be familiar with is a UK firm called Sea Otter Work Boats.
They supplied work boats for oil rigs and keep work boats.
They also built boats for the leisure sector, mainly canal and river boats with a few barges and strain boats.

What is the difference between welded verses riveted aluminum boats?



Assay and weight. A welded boat cost more and weighs more. Takes an extra hp for every 25 lbs of added weight. Drinks more gas!! If your by a hair's breadth fishing go with a high quality riveted boat. If your working construction go with the welded rig. I own both. They will both last about 25 years.......riveted boats are welded in places also, it's convenience. Skyscrapers are riveted and rig welded. Welds are known to separate and leak also. Take a look at a ship and tell me what you see. There are pros and cons for each. There are virtuousness welded boats and bad. The same goes for the riveted style. Welds are used in mass producing , cuts rate. I have both like I say. You brake a weld in a chop, it will leak a lot faster than a loose rivet. Now you choose.

Repairing HOle in Aluminum Boat without welding?

We have a lund aluminum boat that has a opening on the bottom where a livewell screw used to be. I need help getting that hole plugged up without the use of welding.

Perchance 2000#, but could be anywhere from 400# to 3500# depending on size of boat and trailer plus gear and engine and food, etc.
