    PSA on Winterization Antifreeze

    Mine's always dry. From the FourWinns (2 different marinas) to my current Chap (again, marina performed). Think the only, only time it had AF in it was when the marina graciously winterized the livewell. Probably call in a few weeks to schedule an appointment for winterize & shrink wrap.

    1964 Cherokee boat decals does know how to find them

    You needed to seal it afterwards with several very light coats of clear coat. Otherwise, the toner just sits on the surface, as you found out. Same goes for water slide decals. Vinyl sign shop should be able to help in both regards - Cherokee label and your capacity plate.

    Glastron contact details?

    I'm not so sure Glastron is actually producing boats. All listings on their site say "Dealer Inventory only". There used to be quite a few Glaston dealers around me, there are all of (2) now with no stock. Going off memory, this is how Bryant went out of business.

    New Trailer - Weird Bunks

    My uncle's 16' Starcraft tiller had that setup for a trailer. It was stock by TeeNee back in the day. Ahh the memories... **Pretty sure they were carpetted too. Might want to address that.

    P.S.A. . . . SAE J2807 Towing capacity spec's

    Toyota tried that back in 2013 IF I recall correctly. That's when their 5.7L Tundras dropped from 10k towing to around 7k towing. I know, I owned one and questioned it at the time as to what the major change was. This was the answer - new standard. Toyota went away from that as my 2016 Tundra...

    Win for me today!

    Looks like the backlash monster got it. I never could adjust mine correctly - it sits relegated to being a dust collector. Probably why it went overboard??

    1976 Columbia 16.

    Nope. Total removal and replacement is required based off how much floor is already missing. I wager that rot goes front to back including transom. Boats rot from the hull up, not the top down. There isn't a shortcut on this one, sorry to say.

    1976 Columbia 16.

    You're in denial. That's a total gut and rehab. The more you tear into it I bet you find the transom is doa as well. Wood putty is not the solution...a grinder, proper PPE, and a lot of sweat equity with BCX ply and resin (cloth) is. Head to the resto section, there's plenty of boats there...

    2017 19' Chaparral H2O leans right

    Too new for someone to have to do a refurb on already and manufacturers are very unlikely to share that info with the general public. So probably next to nothing available for what's under the deck beyond more than likely foam flotation. If you are the original owner, there is a warranty. You...

    Bunk bracket suggestions

    Use Grade 8 washers, done deal. If you're really worried about it, take it to a local welder and have them weld up the gap where needed. Probably cost a few beer tokens.

    Bunk bracket suggestions

    Something like this? https://www.iboats.com/shop/bolster-brackets-tiedown-engineering-legacy-imf-1020323.html Varying lengths available through varying manufacturers. You may have to improvise and cut a bracket down to the size you need. A hacksaw will work if you don't have a grinder / cut...

    2017 19' Chaparral H2O leans right

    If its in a sealed compartment, no. There's lots of areas you cannot access in this boat. I know, I own one.

    2017 19' Chaparral H2O leans right

    I would leave the boat in the water for a few hours, then retrieve it OFF CENTER on the trailer (ie. load it wrong). That way you can see if one of the bunks is hiding a gouge which is letting in water. **Recenter the boat on the trailer after investigating/before leaving the ramp. Something...

    2017 19' Chaparral H2O leans right

    Check weight distribution and/or for water intrusion. Assuming this is at rest correct? Or is it leaning when underway??

    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    I went from a 1999 - 120HP 2 Stroke Force to a 2000 - 115HP 4 Stroke Honda on my '99 Bayliner. The pundits proclaiming you'll be slower are full of...well you fill in the blank. I didn't notice any difference other than sitting about 2" lower in the water as basically I was carrying a teenager...

    Went with the Durango R/T

    Nice! Needs hood stripes :)

    Hopkins 4 pin tester

    Nope. That's not it. That's just the wiring connector. https://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/Dodge/Durango/2022/C56336.html?VehicleID=202261728 See the black box with all the wires running to/from? That's the adapter box I'm referring to. You'll need to dig to see if your vehicle...

    Astroglass 1989 full rebuild

    Yeah that's not good. Brackets adjustable for the bunks?

    1973 Fabuglas Boat

    I don't know what those nuts/bolts anchor to the boat but that definitely doesn't look good. From that pic, they've gone through the glass and are pulling through the wood core. That crack in the glass in the lower portion of your pic doesn't bode well either. If that's your transom, you better...

    Purchased a 1977 CC WHAT IS IT???

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a WAG at this... Was a hardtop/cruiser that someone whacked the hardtop off of to make what you see currently. Further, I'd guess if you pulled up the teak at the bow, you'd find mounting points for a windshield. Same for along the sides. Total WAG.
