    81 Sea Squirt Restoration

    36 grit flap disk on a 4-1/2” angle grinder. It’ll eat fiberglass quickly.

    surface tissue

    Yep, Sand and fair, then sand, then fair, then repeat. No real easy way around it, no magic wand.

    AlumaCraft Dash Repair Help

    Absolutely agree with @GA_Boater. Also, instead of painting you could do a carbon fiber look vinyl wrap. These wraps look great, and conform to curves with a little heat. Several patterns to choose from, including texture.

    Amateur needs advice

    Are you sure that’s not fiberglass covered plywood? Boats of that era are mostly wood core encapsulated by fiberglass. The plastic bases could be trimmed to fit the exact contour of the floor. Yes they can be bolted to the floor. All penetrations should be properly sealed so water doesn’t get...

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    I guess my concern would be squeezing the clamps too tightly and in essence wringing out the resin from the fiber causing starved fiber.

    That’s great information. Most of the stitching of vinyl and leather is pretty long. I too have a walking foot attachment on a Singer, so I’m following along with much interest.

    Carb Rebuild Kit

    I have a Rochester Quadrajet on my 4.3LX. No better place than Cliff’s Performance for QJ rebuild kits. You didn’t mention which carb you had, so figured I’d chime in on the QJ.

    2006 Sea Ray 185 Motor Mount Repair Question

    Usually when the mount caves in and the motor sinks, the coupler gets destroyed. Most find that out when they try to align the drive shaft through the gimbal bearing into the coupler. It ain’t gonna go. An alignment bar would definitely point this misalignment out. A buddy of mine poured SeaCast...

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    I think if I added up the time it took to do the complete gut job on my boat, there is no way in the world anyone would pay me. Lol. Guess you gotta be way less particular than me to make a living at this work. :LOL:

    Building a '93 Caravelle 1750 Classic Bowrider

    Well that sounds scientific......with the vent tubing low in the bilge, any sinking vapors, (heavier than air), would be drawn out.

    Building a '93 Caravelle 1750 Classic Bowrider

    I would think that the engine compartment is airy enough that the vacuum pulling on the rear of the boat is enough to draw air out of the vents through the tubing in the bilge. I’m not an expert, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
