  1. Yup, had my grandfathers old Harnell surf rod rebuilt as a father's day gift for my dad last year, he loves it, first walk up to the beach with it caught a 30" bass on the first cast.....
  2. Rich, agreed about the cam action pulling tighter. Reason why I went with the IPS was the location of the seal, it's on the top of the mounting flange and seals right at the deck and over the mounting screws rather than sealing against the lower lip of the hatch lid. This would block water from collecting against the seal and possibly dripping through with no place else to drain. Would like to have gotten a Beckson as they have a double seal, one on top of the flange and one on the lower lip, didn't have the size I needed....
  3. Noticed the Jim Black line when I looked at the website earlier, very happy with the IPS hatch so far, didn't leak a drop when I blasted it with the hose from the side and also with all the rain we've had.
  4. Just replaced the hatch on my deck, used one from Innovative Product Solutions, hasn't leaked a single drop, and they have the exact size you need. When you install any hatch, make sure the mounting flange does not get distorted if the surface you are mounting to isn't flat, that will increase the potential for leaks. gotoips.com
  5. Sunset, running Oyster Creek channel, Barnegat Bay Theres a sunrise there I promise.... Got buzzed by an A10 Warthog
  6. Another from Jersey here, Barnegat to Mansquan inlets. Got a late start this year, should be in the water by this coming weekend...... VHF 68
  7. Glad to see that your back at it Wiley. Nice layout, this could be good.
