This was the first discussion in French that I have from 2000. I had already removed the rollers from one of my home builds around 86 as it could not out preform the same gun with just 2 bands yet alone 3. Every pulley has power losses.
I'm not anti roller, I just don't hunt with one .Cheers, Don

English is my only language. I just am not very good with explain this.
I understand you mate. If you pull the shaft with your hand, does the line than release?
If it does, all is well. Like others have said, the line release is holding the un-dropped sear.Cheers, Don

I'm a practical man but this strikes a cord in me. I do believe spearfishing will keep me young till the day I'm gone. Or maybe it's because I'll always be young at heart that I spearfish
who knows.. it's a nice legend. Thanks Don.Thanks Dan, I lived by this story even before it came to me on paper. I started hunting at 8 with my bow and held my breath when I drew the string and released the arrow.

I got this from Hugues Dessault's guys back in 1992 and always loved the story.

Very nice work DP.
Whats the weight rating on the transoms on those boats?
Can't wait to see pics of dead fish on it
Thanks mate, the transom on this one is rated for 310lb,without the extra reinforcement I have for The Avon CRRC, the Zodiac FC 470 is rated to 280.
I have seen a image of one with twin 35hp Johnsons .Cheers, Don

Thanks Dan, I got this one on F-Bay for 60 bucks, it was new old stock, I already had a roller. Their very pricey from Zodiac. I won't pull form this cleat on stuck anchors.Plan is to fit a large cleat to the transom, I'll also make up a nice bridle for towing to clip to the inboard transom U-bolts.

My 2 hrs turned into 4 on reinforcing the bow roller pad area, went thru 24 $ of two part glue and 45 $ in rub strake, layup and prep for two part glue is very time consuming . This is one of 2 coats of Algrip black.
This boat is cutting into my pub time.;)Cheers, Don

Thanks Pete, John Waren and I have a napkin form late 80's with a linear power graph like that.We both had a lot of fun even before the Niko Emails.

I think i must have adjusted my entire diving style now to suit the c90's
Yes that is a good thing, Dan's Carbons are very reactive, and transfer energy well.
Cheers, Don

That is a much better glue for what your doing.

Trim it a 1/8'' under your nose, when you get around some dive squids, have them liberate some dry suit zipper wax to put on your stiff upper lip.;)
for your service mate.Cheers, Don

Gorrilla Glue expands as it dry's. Not a good idea as it will push wood apart.
Gorrilla Glue may be good for something but not boat building. Epoxy is your friend.Cheers, Don
Here is some info on glue chooses.

After two hr's of prep and glue sniffing, I'm hitting the wts.Tomorrow after a couple hr's of more prep and glue
the bow roller/cleat area will be armored with rub strake.
After all those fumes, I'm ready to fire up the reel to reel and get my grove on. :yay:Cheers, Don

Mocking up the radar arch tube angles with some scrap tube rems. Once I get my SS 1-1/8 I'll fab the 155 degree legs.
That red cooler is not for fish.;)
