I've had the one in this pic for 4 or 5 years, it's still good. Maybe I just don't use it enough. Truly I don't know what someone would do to make it deteriorate. Reminds of the the idea that a poly rope is prone to tangles as compared to the tube float line. I never got a tangle in it so I just don't get it.
I thought they start leaking and stop floating long before the core line would wear down.
What's the point of using 1400lb spectra and 1600lb swivels if your shooting line is 250lb 
I've never seen that float line, but you don't need it, just get a good polypropylene rope.
Thank you Harry, and nice gag.
Jason, all Pursuit wetsuits come with a hood. I don't like a hood myself, I feel isolated from the environment and can't get over it even if I put holes where the ears are. I Also don't get cold in the head area. So I cut the hood off on my suit too, it's easy to do and the area where the neoprene was cut doesn't deteriorate. In my particular case the seal around the neck remained good once the hood was gone. In Harry's case he needed a little alteration to tighten the neck area, maybe because it was cut too low. If I remember correctly it cost him $20 at a local wetsuit repair shop, but it's something that can be DIY with good neoprene glue. It makes sense then to have the wetsuits made with hoods and whoever doesn't like the hood can simply cut it off.
Go for it Billy, Stefan is a stand up guy. Use the Mahogany stock to make another gun with the Neptonics trigger mech.
Rinse, look at the bands and wishbones for wear. Check the shaft for straightness and flopper tuned, rarely take a look at the notch. When it gets to the point where there are a lot of dings and scratches on the stock I will do another coating of penetrating epoxy. That's it, there's nothing else that can go wrong with my gun other than the trigger mech. And I don't shoot the gun enough at this point to be concerned about sear wear so I don't disassemble the mech.
Nice pics Marco. That's a lot of float line he's got there.
Good news all around.
Welcome to the forum Rich. I remember finding thereefgeek's posts interesting and informative.
Coruscating.
See this post, there's a part there about the reel http://spearfishing.world/36218-post37.html I think by jim he means jam.
Both.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. For sure I'd like to own and try the super air rifles out there, like the PCPs. But I found this deal on Craigs list for $75. It's a Gamo Whisper and I picked it up this afternoon. It looks to be in like new condition. It came with a strap, scope, carrying case, pellets, and a cleaning kit. I tried it and it looks like I can hit stuff with it at 60ft. I'll know more as I get familiar with using it. I may look into that trigger kit Ephraim, I think a lighter trigger pull with make it easier to be accurate.
If anyone would still like to add to the thread please do.
Can't go wrong with 1.8mm Dyneema for wishbone material. Nothing beats making your own bands with the best band material available. Wishbone inserts like these http://www.freedivingspearfish…/26-wishbone-inserts.html make replacing worn Dyneema and taking the bands out of spearguns with no slots in the band holes a cinch.
About the length of my back yard 
But if I'm going to get something why not really good for all eventualities.
Thanks Judah. What's the difference between yours and say this one http://www.basspro.com/Gamo-Bi…bo/product/95094/-1399531
