Do squirrels have enough yield to bother with? I've thought about it before.

LB, I actually saw this boat in Miami 2 weeks ago. The owner installed the center console himself. Seeing this boat made me realize I want at least a 16 footer, it was too small for me.

How do you charge it with air?

Joe, I have a 3.3L Dodge Caravan. It's far from an ideal towing vehicle but it has a trailer hitch and I'm willing to try towing your boat to the closest marina whenever you want.

Aaron, how much does a good air rifle cost? What is the range for a rabbit size animal? Do you have to hit it somewhere specific to kill it? How much noise does it make, can it be used without alerting the neighbors? Can used ones come with problems? Thanks and sorry for the derail John.

Great submissions guys.

I'm putting up Rolo's cobia as the cobia record, dethroning my own This cobia was way above 50lb but since we didn't weigh it I'll leave it at 50lb.

Also check out the new fish records category in the photo gallery http://www.freedivingspearfishing.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=506&page=0&sort= I'll add this link to the beginning of the thread as well.

Thanks, that made it clear.

Jeff, How do you use a drill point countersink?

Well said LB.

TM, thanks for the suggestion.

Frank, thanks for the detailed review.

I don't know that man, but it's obvious he's touring a Chinese boat factory. I was just starting to look on youtube myself. This vid is worth looking at. It shouldn't take much to get dealer prices on these.

I can't afford a classy boat. I thought initially that RIBs are cheaper. To me a RIB is a classic spearfishing platform so I thought I could get away with a nice smaller boat that I would feel good about. I don't always get the most expensive gear, but I like to have the best gear in its class. I like the ease of entry from the water. These boats are light and so I can get away with towing it with my current vehicle, a 3.3L Dodge Caravan. Otherwise I'd have to buy a truck. Being lighter they are also cheaper on gas. Also I believe they're very stable.

I also anticipate going out by myself often, or at most with one or two guys. It's easier to launch a lighter boat.

Check out the ribs on this site http://www.allmandboats.com/html/rigid_inflatable_boats.html

This seller is in Miami but he doesn't even have one of these RIBs to come and take a look at. The reason he doesn't is because these RIBS are made per order and shipped directly from China. There are a few manufacturers and the boats are really cheap. There are many models so don't just go by the few pics on this sellers site. I'm thinking how complicated is a RIB really? How different are these boats than the more well known brand names such as Zodiac, Avon, Caribe and AB?

I have SS pins of varying diameters, if you want come by and I'll help you out with it.

Nice drawing Jeff.

How many bands do you want this gun to have? If it's only two I suggest one slot. Unless you experiment first and make sure the bands indeed run well the way you have it drawn. Remember I never tried it like that.

Also keep in mind that mine ran well loaded on one tab. I believe they will also run well with 1st band to closest pin and 2nd band to further pin.

Why is N to S current bad vis? I haven't recognized this pattern so far.

Why is 1/8 too big?

I don't believe it necessarily has to be tungsten carbide, I think %100 carbide will do http://www.biscotoolsupply.com…actional_sizes___564.html

The butt pads for the standard and competitor models are different, but I don't know if they're interchangeable. IMO the Riffe competitor series butt pad is the best butt pad on the market. Whether it will match the carbon gun aesthetically is another question.

Did your girlfriend like the toy Davie? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

It's not comparable to anything, but nothing to do with fish. As with everything it depends on how you cook it. The idea is definitely to make it taste like something else. Once you get used to it, it's like any other meat that you know will feed you. I find sheep meat to be much more difficult to get used to.

Are you using a yak Steven?
