re: Creating a Reef

Posted by Elusiveporpi on 9/21/26 at 3:50 pm to subMOA

Who would know, just do it.

I’m thinking hard about creating reefs with whatever I can get my hands on. I’ve been watching some insta videos of people sinking the trunk section and a few large limbs of trees. And weighing them down. Would be great to have that tall structure floating, but I’d imagine it would get swept away in a hurricane even in 200ft of water.

This videos were in Mexico so idk if trees would attract snapper, but it would be a cheap option if so

Edit, just googled doing this and AI is telling me worms would eat the wood within months if I did manage to keep it on the bottom

I have a camp in the marsh as well that runs on generator power.

I have a bourgRV electric ice chest that has been a game changer. We have a 12v system with solar panel and lithium battery in the camp for water pump, lights etc that we also run the ice chest on. Gets down to 40 degrees in 20 minutes.

Don’t think it needs to be a commercial grade, but 5 acres , get a big deck to cut down on cutting time.
I’ve been cutting 2 acres for 3 years with a 54” toro residential and it does fine. Done in 40 minutes. Have 97 hrs on it with no problems.

Your story tells me that I have a unique problem then. I'm similar to you, few pounds lighter. Sleep like a rock on my back in one spot and kill mattresses in a year. I went with the second the cheapest with 3 inches of foam instead of the one you bought with 2 inches of foam. But this thing is failing me, and yours isn't failing you.

Dang, that sucks to hear. Not sure what’s going on there. I actually went for sleeping in 100 to 85, and I like firm.

I will say for all those who need a super
firm mattress and have memory foam, flip your mattress over.

For some reason I put dents in all mattresses, I’m 5,10 185. I sleep on my back and don’t move all night.

Memory foams only last a year with me until they dent.

I went with sleep number because my thoughts were that you can’t dent air. I was right. I went with the cheapest mattress they sell, which has the thinnest layer of memory foam on top of the air mattress part. I’ve had it for 3 years now and it’s great. No dents, no back issues. Again, I think the key is a very thin layer of padding before the air part of the mattress, this helps with the firmness settings. It auto adjust , as you sleep as well. Helping the mattress form to your body.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the heads up. Only had orange left, but I’ll take it for that price.

I went the cheaper route. Skar 4 channel marine Amp and 4 skar marine 6.5 speakers.

20ft bay boat all mounted in and on the console.

Did the same with 4x 8.8's and the 1000w amp. Sounds amazing. It makes that ride in beer taste that much better.

23.5k installed for a 250 SHO at Cajun outdoors in 2024. The service wasn't the best. its was like they didnt care about the sale. They did acknowledge the shitty service and replaced my leaking hydraulic steering seals for free.

No it would create a whole bunch of other problems such as filling in the Atchafalya basin. In the 1990's I went with members of USACE to to speak with some of the locals about these concerns. Old timers showed me massive islands in the basin that didn't exist until the control structure was built.

Eventually Morgan City and other towns along the Atchafalaya would cease to exist since they would become part of the river's path as the river slows down and widens as it builds a delta at the Gulf of America.

Then you have the other problems associated with the current path of the becoming a saltwater from the Gulf to BR.

These issues would make our current sinking of coastal wetlands seem like child's play.

No plan is perfect, I'm just stating that it would help coastal erosion. This could possibly be the only fix for LA not washing away.

Its like you dont even care about the Point-au-chene Chitimacha indians who;s land is currently sinking and eroding away.

J/K Im just tired of my fishing spots and barrier island washing away.

I’m loving it.
It definitely a fishing boat with no creature comforts. I had the 2200v before this and the 2300 rides way better. Tons of storage so I’m sure the 26 would be exceptional.

The true stepped hull keeps the ride super flat and nose down which is a nice change from using tabs all the time.

Also, the motor is on a bracket off the back of the boat which opens up the back deck. No transom well.

Where are you in Texas? I drove to Beaumont to get this one. Peterson marine I think was the name.

Thanks for the help…looks like the replacement solenoid was the issue

I had this issue, thought it was the battery, brought battery to store to get another one, got it tested, said the battery was good still. Bought a new solenoid, installed, still didnt work. Bought a new battery and it started.....

Glad you figured it out.
