Finnaly done the flooring (fiber glass)

[boateric]

MAN that was simply awful. I just got done fiber glassing the stingers and carpeting the floor on my boat. Now I have the rash to prove it was me that did it Didn't find a single volunteer near me to do it either. So I tackled it myself and now I am paying for it. Still have the trailer to fix and then its fishing time for me

[BSAFlash]

The rash won't last as long as the sense of achievement that comes from completing the task yourself

[boateric]

Maybe not but the doc just gave some cortizone cream to stop the itching. Only time will tell. The water looks good to me right now BUT I still have to fix the trailer before I even atempt to get out there. Won't be long now and I can hardly wait to get her out on the water for the first time this year for good shake down cruse. Maybe do a little fishing if time permits. Wife wants a cruse first.

HEY Ken are around these parts anymore we have to get together for coffe so I can show those pics of the superfin. Pm me if you can.

I recently bought a 1988 doral eagle with a 3 litre mercruiser.I only paid 1600 for it but it does have issues,the floor or lack of one: being the biggest.Does anyone know if it's best to encapsulate the plywood first and then screw it down or should I just screw it down and cover it with carpet?Any help would be much appreciated,thanks harley guy.

[boateric]

Only have one slight problem with the boat! IT KEEPS WANTING ME TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP

[JBF 1962]

They tend to be that way Its driving me nuts though Ric, gotta get us some pics! Sooooo need to see your handywork and the floating Tara LOL

[boateric]

Would love to do the pic thing JBF 1962 BUT I can't get them to go where I want as my computer has some issues with the vidio card.. I do need a new computer because we just found out we don't have vidio card in this one we cant even get the pics off the camera in the first place so I may have to get a good friend to do it for me. will try to get him to do it this weekend and see whats happens after that.

G'Day boateric,
But you'd forgotten your rash before you even got to the boat ramp
Glad to see you are able to enjoy the season.

[boateric]

No I didnt forget the rash as it left a few scars as a reminder for me to let someone else do it next time I can't seem to get out on her very much this season as my is going through her breast cancer treatments and I am fighting some kind of viruse that just wont let me breath properly. Guess that goes along with my COPD and asthma But one good thing about it all is I get save on gas this summer
