The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Back in the day I had a Mercury Comet Convertible (Ford Fairlane basically), and I had it insured at a value that I agreed upon.
Are any boat insurance policies available with a similar agreed value insurance?
First I'll probably add a couple to these as I think of them. But I do have a couple now.
1st: Has anyone had exposed pedestal bases powdercoated?
Concerns. All pedestals are the wedge/taper lock series. So I don't want the inside of the base getting covered in paint. Also I'm concerned about...

My 75 70HP has this system described above...
I have what I believe to be a Tilt only unit, not a Tilt/Trim unit.

This is a winter project, and it's not even winter yet. This will be a place for me to ask fiber glassing questions.
My plan. 50-60" long, 12" wide, about 11" tall. Was going to make out of 1/2" plywood.
I want the corners to be rounded off, and...
