Yep, we're in the same boat on that one. I get about 300 gallons/year, and can take 'em, or leave 'em at this point. Always trying new recipes. That helps.

Since I see a fish cleaning station, How about a live bait well. Here is one we did Sunday in about 6 hours. That included going to The big Orange one to get tyraps, hinge and rope.

We made this live well out of PVC or Triton Duraboard peg board.
It is sold at Northern Tools. It took four sheets. We had to order them into the store. They wanted 25 dollars for shipping if we wanted it soon. We told them we could wait. It took 4 days to get them. We ordered on Saturday and got the four sheets on Wednesday. You have to order the ones we have to get the 2 x 4 sheets. They are thicker than the ones in the store.
It is polypropelene. Probably spelled it wrong.

Yay another Alaskan Trojan owner! I was beginning to think we were the only ones.
I love your cutting table - I've been trying to figure out something similar for our F30.

our biggest project so far (besides sanding & Epiphaning the interior wood) was putting in the SigMar oil stove. Best investment ever.

Very nicely done. Looks great.

I actually bought a Dickinson Pacific in Dillingham, and brought it back to Anchorage to install in my F32, then chickend out when I saw how much surgery it was gonna be. Hats off to you for going through with it. Well worth it in th end.
