EDIT 2/17/15: With the new forum format, the index is not accurate. It's based on the old forum default of 25 posts per page. 
Here's something I just figured out: If you are using the forum default of 15 posts per page....You can get within a page or two of what you might be looking for if you divide the page number in the index by 6/10 (...that's .6).
For example: "vinyl lettering application tips" - p. 53. So get out your calculator and divide 53 by .6 and you come out with 88.33. That subject is actually on p. 87, so it comes out pretty close.
Hope that helps!
Edit 8/10/11:
I've added this index to help locate specific subjects so you won't have to wade through all the pages looking for something if you don't want to. If you have your setting at the default of 25 posts per page, the page numbers should be accurate. The index is rough and incomplete but should be helpful. I'll add to it as pages are added.

I finally took the plunge and got a boat like I've been looking for in the last year or so. I stumbled across it locally on Craigslist, the price seemed right at $750 (got it for $700) and basically the hull and transom are in good solid condition. So here are some starting out photos. I plan to work on it as time and $$$ permit, so progress will most likely be sporadic. The outboard I'm not too thrilled about and will most likely be looking for something else around 40-45hp, stated max is 45. I'm looking forward to diving in! I'm sure I'll be back asking lots of questions along the way.
As she came home with me...Classic Ugly:
Port & starboard (the speckling is mud splatters):
Front deck is real dirty, more so than the rest of it as it has been exposed to the elements because of a short tarp. It's been repainted along the line and would look nice if I can get it cleaned up. It's a nice sort of metal flake burgundy.
Stern with 50hp 1964 West Bend power. I know it runs but I haven't started it myself yet.
Helm: I envision a new wood dashboard & plan to ditch the compass (points south!), speedometer & depth finder. New controls and steering when I change the outboard. Current steering is pulley & cable.
