Re: Baretta Files

Included my garage door in this one. It produced quite a bit of pain to my head. Just when I thought I could navigate around it I'd bang my head again...

Same thing happens to me every friggin' time I work on my boat in the garage and man does that smart! Boat looks amazing.

Re: Baretta Files

Doing vinyl was a bit of a chore so when it came to my doghouse I didn't want the headache of trying to fit vinyl over it, so I decided to gelcoat it. I picked up about two gallons for 20 bucks. Not the exact color of my boat, but in the same family of my color scheme. Trying to find the mixture formula was a bit of a pain as everyone had an opinion. In the end however it came together...

First coat...

Bringing life back to the teak trim...

Finished product...

It has a few rough edges. I'm thinking about sanding it down, filling the rough spots, and adding another coat. I have some 1" foam and vinyl left, so there is the option of adding a cap as well. However, it'll do for now. I'm cashed for the time being, so all future tinkering will have to wait.

Cracks me up

I hear you brutha! I'm so fired up to get out on the H2O! I need to chill as well! I'm cashed... My wife thinks I'm in love with the boat (aka second girlfriend) So I hear ya!

You boat is truly awesome! Love it! Great job dude! Doghouse looks great!

Re: Baretta Files

I think the gel coated dog house was a great idea. I like it better than vinyl and it should be more durable too.

Re: Baretta Files

Great job.Definitly better than spending that money on another unknown boat errr project.

Re: Baretta Files

I agree, gel coating the dog house.. awsome idea, I was looking at mine.. nasty old vinyl.. wondering what to do with it.. I thought about rebuiding it from wood.. then you come alone with the perfect idea.. simply brilliant

I have an 89 Baretta with a Penta AQ131 & 275 outdrive and the prop I have is a 15x19 SS
I think the original one is a 14x17 Alum
I have another 15x19 SS if you are interested (I need to check to make sure that is the exact size)... PM me if your interested.

Re: Baretta Files

Cool, I might be interested in that prop you have. I will have to wait about a week to get boat out of storage, for the measurement.

Re: Baretta Files

Your restoration is fantastic. And, even if you're not completely satisfied and see things you want to change or should have done different, pretty much, NOBODY else will see them. I think it came out fine and you should definitely be proud of that one.

Much obliged sir, I appreciate that.

I'm very happy how she turned out & of coarse there are a few more odds & ends that I'll eventually get to, but she's straight for now. The only real problem I have now is that the money train my wife was on has reached the end of the line. Oh well, summer is almost here

Re: Baretta Files

I hear you on the money situation. I am so tired of only being able to spend $20 or $30 a week on the boat But anyway, your boat is looking great, I hope mine will come out that nice.

Re: Baretta Files

How much you want for this 15x19 prop? Does it have a 17 count spline??
Thanks Curt..

Hey Guys, I run a real train for a living and my money train isn't running as often as it used to. Tomorrow morning, I'm supposed to pick up a GREAT bargain of an engine. The guy really needs the money, and I have yet to figure out where I'm going to get all the money.

Re: Baretta Files

We love the Opossums. Your photo was great. They really are very sweet critters. And eat alot of stuff you do not want around. The opossum has remained almost unchanged for over 70million years. Anyway I will stop rambling on about Opossums.

Re: Baretta Files

It has been one year this month since I purchased this boat. Many a lesson learned & more to come I'm sure. Overall it has been a hell of a learning experience, but am grateful nonetheless. I'm quite intimate with her, but now that I'm less 30min from the ocean I'm not sure how much longer it'll be before I trade up.

Re: Baretta Files

Trailer mod. Now she fits in the garage with room to spare.

Now I just need to paint the trailer. The three tone look is making my boat look bad.
