re: leveling a pier and beam house

You shouldn’t level from inside the house, you should level your floor joist. Everything above should follow.

I have a camp on pilings and we used a Laser level and marked every pile with a base elevation, then found the highest, and lifted the rest to that height. We shimmed with treated wood.

2800-3000ft house (not top end, but not bottom end) for 500-550k
I’m building a 2400 living/3800 under roof home now and it will be a little over 500. It will not me anything over the top.
I suggest you talk with some builders to see what the house you want actually cost.

Thanks for the reply.
My big hangup is cooler space. There is only room for one cooler under the leaning post. Where do you put the drinks or fish at?

should have said similar hull design and weight will not make a huge difference. Obviously going with a deep V is going to change things.
The Sportsman is 1000 pounds heavier than my current pathfinder and has a very aggressive entry, but still has that bay boat feel and layout. Those are the reasons I’m looking at the sportsman.

Thanks for the input MB. Especially since you have the same boat.
The 247 sportsman is a beast of a boat , but it’s just a really big 24ft and they are an extra 20k.

Does anyone have any personal experience with the 227 Sportsman boats? I currently have an older 22 pathfinder but its getting old and I want something that can handle the chop a little better since 80% of the days i fish its blowing 15mph. In my price range, it would be a 2014-2017 model year. The Sportsman is a heavier hull with a deeper vee. Of course longer is better, but i think i will stay in the 22ft range and the Sportsman has my attention.

So how does this stock offering work?
Was it all in one day and now it’s over or will this offering take a week and the price continue to fall?

The only thing that concerns me is the government buying 10% stakes in these companies. I'd hate to miss one of those.
I dont think SLI is advanced enough in the project for this to happen any time soon. The Gov didnt buy in LAC until after ground breaking. I think it would be foolish to buy in any earlier. SLI's timeline for construction start is "2026". But I don't see it happening that fast. With the project still not funded, construction start will be centered around long lead time items. At least we are getting out of the COVID area for super long lead times on equipment.

Would the permitting have to be approved before the Final Funding Decision happens? This could help with understanding timelines.

re: Redfish numbers

Had some co workers go on a charter a few weeks ago. They shot 15 oversized fish. Just threw them back in the water…..
bowfisherman cover more ground , kill more fish,(no clue on size) and ruin the bank/ oysters below than a rod and reel fishman.
Oyster fisherman completely remove the habitat and water filtration system which is another big issue. It’s so bad in Coco they get out the boats and pick them in the really shallow water.
The biggest is erosion and loosing the habitat but Jeff Landry doesn’t seem to
care.

After the freeze last year I couldn’t find a red in cocodrie. . I’ve been fishing leeville the past month and I’m seeing 50-60 a sight fishing trip. Hopefully they have repopulated in Coco as well.
Bow fishing is the biggest threat I see.

I have yet to bring a t-motor in for repair as I usually do it myself, but if I did that would be a problem. There are lots of minn kota repair shops around. Lowrance - not so much.
