X2, why didn't I think of that! I always used the blue 12' x 24' from wally world for 20 - 25 bucks. They last about 1 season. I stuffed rags up between the tarp and corners of the windshield.

Dad recently built a 40 x 40 metal building with two 10 x 10 garage doors. My baby is sleeping in the left bay comfortably out of the elements.

I'm trying to get one built behind my house but I can't ever get the contractor people to do anything. I guess they just don't make enough money off my cheap *** to make it worth it to them. Had a grading estimater come out and look 3 weeks ago. Still no price. Had the building contractor come out about 1 month ago. Still no price. I just about give up.

Damn, I gotta admit that's a sweet looking cover!!.. I love the vents in the back for air circulation. Good choice!! (Is you neighbor jealous yet?) LOL

Thanks Rob!!...I slow troll live herring & shiners w/this...



It's a 72 lb Minn Kota w/Auto-Pilot and Co-Pilot...sounds like a lot of hokey stuff, but it all works great and I wouldn't be w/out this set up for what you are gonna be doing...if the 72 is no longer available, go w/an 80 lber...get a 60" shaft...you'll want some extra when the wind kicks the water up down there...I was down off of Shull Island a while back in a breeze and mine was comin outta the water..I've lengthened the shaft for this boat and don't expect that to be a problem anymore...you'll need two big batteries(Group 31s) independent of your cranking battery to run it...and I really suggest an onboard battery charger to easily keep them HOT...these auto-pilot units are great, but they don't tolerate low batteries or poor electrical connections...I've had a Guest 2620 double-leg 10 amp per side charger on my boat for 10 years now w/out a problem...it has kept the same batteries hot for 8 years...I think they add to the batteries' service life, so the charger will pay for itself over time...SO much easier...

The pool cover looks great and I also really like NYMack's cover as well..I'm gonna have to do something myself as the new 21 won't go under the carport like the old 74 did...

If you need any more info on the trollin motor, just holler...get a good quality stainless steel plug(Marinco) and leave UNPLUGGED while charging...be sure to turn off the auto-pilot before you raise the motor...just a couple of tips I've learned the hard way over the years...
