    Remove thwart, what about bracing?

    in Boating

    Posted

    Thanks CC,

    Yeah, going to an open deck and a larger floor. I'n not allowed a bigger boat, so I have to make mine bigger:)

    The seat has a rib each side of the seat. It also has a couple of triangular pieces of ali welded where the seat is, that will stay, when the seat goes.

    G'day fellas,

    I am about to remove my front thwart, from my Allycraft Sioux (4.45). Its a strong solid and heavy boat with fairly thick ali.

    Now, when I remove it,how will I need to brace it, to compensate for the missing seat? That is, if I really need too.

    I dont do choppy or offshore, purely a river estuary and smooth water fisherman. AND not very often!!

    What -if any-bracing do you reckon I may need?

    I am putting in a larger floor over the top of the old floor, and havent figured out how I am going to secure it yet. When i do, I'll put flotaion of some sort under/between it.

    Thanks,

    Which line for overhead /trolling reel

    Thanks Stewy,

    The reason I want mono instead of braid, is mainly for the stretch when trolling. The reefs are only 2-5 metres at most around here, so dont have to worry about stretch when bait fishing.

    My main question really concerns looking for a line that doesnt want to spring off into bird nests when dropping or with a little cast.

    Thanks mate,

    G'day,

    I would like some advice on which line to get for my 20 class overhead.Its for trolling mostly and a little drop and wait baiting.

    Somewhere around 15 to 20 kg and mono.

    I have mono on it at the moment but its too thick (maybe 50lb?) and too springy!!

    I guess I need a supple style of line?

    What do you fellas recommend?

    thanks,

    Go for it!!

    You should see the fellas here on T.I . 4mt boats with 40's and 4.5s with 60s!! If a boat could wheelstand, they would.

    The front comes down only when the prop loses traction. Young fellas of course:)

    Insurance FWAAWW!!

    ( I have a 40 on my 4.45. It does 23 Knots Flat out:) )
