    King of DIY

    I gotta just say, having looked at more of Bill's threads, this guy is the King! I'm just amazed at some of the things he does. I know there are alot of very clever guys here on BBC and I salute you all. I would mention more names but the list is long. Thanks for sharing. And Bill? Dang! Keep 'em coming. Do you prefer 'King' or 'GOAT'?

    Thanks 86, Since I retired I have to keep busy and I enjoy doing projects when not fishing. I try to focus on build methods that do not require machining and analog electrical components that are plug and play. This forum is a treasure for inquisitive minds because there are a lot of really talented guys willing to share their knowledge.
    In that vein, I appreciate Al for providing a website where we can share and learn in an environment that is free of political drama.

    Bill stores, and will share, the instructions for building the lift assist kit for trolling motors CHEAPLY. It also takes a lot of the slop out of the frame.

    My impression of Bill is that he is methodical and does his homework before starting any project. That being said, I feel like I lucked out in buying the same RT188P as him. I do not plan to upgrade mine as much as Bill, but I sure like following his projects. Keep up the good work and thank you.
