Hello all fellow tin boaters. It’s me again.
I’m putting together a list that will completely finish the boat build at the request of my wife so we can schedule things and I can finish. Smart lady and way to good for me.
Im budget stretching and one of the products I’m comparing is Goop coat it...
Besides keeping it clean. 6 months ago I did a deep clean with 303 Multi Surface cleaner and a soft brush. Let it dry and treated it with 303 Marine Fabric Guard. My plan was to do this twice a year so it was jus due and I was actually getting ready to then the sap hit.
I did it with the cover...
These are mostly Live oaks. I’ve never seen this happen in the fall. Usually we get a lot of pollen with sap in the spring but it’s never come down like this and I’ve always been able to stay on top of it so it doesn’t set in like this stuff. What I’m seeing after cleaning that spot is little...
Hello everyone, I haven’t been on here in a while. Hope everyone is doing good.
Right at a year ago I had a post on here about buying a decent boat cover.
After all the conversations I ordered a nice Sun-Dura made to fit my boat and motor from Cover Craft. I use a soft brush made for dusting off...
I can’t fit anything between that seat and the gunwale. The rear bench is storage and electrical. I made 3 seats w cushions and attached them across the bench with hinges. Thanks again for the idea though. I’m going to focus on the wiring and other absolutes for now to get the boat back in the...
That’s what I need is two three gallo but if the wife ever sees how much I’m spending on it already one of these post will be my last because I’m living in the boat and it doesn’t have internet.
I have wiring running in the grove under the top of the ribs. Have planned on running a led light strip under the top of the gunwale. If I can attach the pvc under the top of the gunwale I could adhere the lights to it for that small stretch I guess. I’ll need to check and see if it’ll be in the...
It’s a wide boat too but the braces on both sides of the motor are in the way. It does fit in the middle in front of the outboard. But I have to get on my knees on the bench and twist and turn the tank completely on it’s side to get it down there. I don’t think I can safely do it with a full...
Hello everyone, I have a 1983 16/52 jon boat. My 6 gallon fuel tank will not fit in the aft between the rear bench and transom due to the bracing. I’ve been running with the tank in front of the bench. Weight is good the boat runs fine with it there. Problem is I’m having to run the fuel line...
I ordered a Carver boat cover today. I got the Sundura model which is one step down from their Sunbrella. It’s a styled to fit (simicustom) supposed to be made to fit my specific model. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
My cheap cover gave it up today and ripped.
Since I’m rebuilding I want to get a good cover. Im looking at a Shark skin cover I found. It comes with a 10 year warranty for leaks, water repelling, any rips or tears etc. And they don’t prorate it either as time passes.
Has anyone had any...
The mending plates and T- nuts are ordered. When they get here I’ll do a mock up of the floor so I can drill all the holes in the plywood and then do the epoxy. I’m also going to be using some pieces of aluminum angle to hold down the floor. These will be fastened with rivnuts. I’ll also be...
I found 316 stainless steel T-nuts. Change of plans now. Instead of using Riv nuts and drilling any holes in the ribs I found some stainless steel mending plates to tie the three sections of flooring together using T- nuts for this also. Now I’ll be able to cut the carpet in one piece instead of...
