    Bumps in Gelcoat - blistering?

    Personally, I would just monitor them to see if they keep appearing across the hull. Its a progressive problem so it usually gets worse over time. Fixing a few at a time is like whack a mole. The proper fix would be to get the hull scraped, filled, and gel coated. You really should have a...

    South Chatham Tackle reel winder opinion

    I was thinking I need some mono or something on the spool under the braid, I guess for slippage. Ill probably go with a hundred or so feet of Diamond or Monster over a decent braid I can find a good deal on in bulk.

    South Chatham Tackle reel winder opinion

    Yeah i hear you, its was easy to just bring them in when i lived down the road from decent shops. Where im at now, its a good hour or two to find shop with a rig for bigger reels. I have a lot of spreads so one big trip to the shop is gonna be costly with all that braid, plus a pain to haul it...

    South Chatham Tackle reel winder opinion

    Any of u guys have experience with their reel winder II/super spooler? Im considering ordering one of their setups, but undecided between with or without line counter. Its a $140.00 increase just adding the digital counter, which seem to always fail after a short time, at least the cheap china...

    I use Yamaha stabilizer to combat ethanol.......I also use their ring free periodically. Seems to help a little. I still fight the triple carbs tho, cuz I suck at rebuilding them ;)

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    I good portion of posters here were caught by surprise that their floating, solid looking hull is trashed. Inexperienced small boat buyers look at a boat and think "its just fiberglass and it doesnt have any holes in it". Then they notice the deck is a little spongy by the seat, they usually...

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    Thats got me pondering, which is less enjoyable, tackling a rusted chassis or mushy stringers? To me both are considered frame off restos........I seem to favor the boat thing.

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    Depends where they put the foam, but yeah lots of stuff gets past its useful life after 20 years, but not having to strip out stringers and a transom is a big leg up from a total 80's or 90's ant hill. When Yamaha bought Century in the mid 90's, they went all composite below the deck and in the...

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    What i was saying is that some production boats that were built with all glass stringers and non rotting transoms are around now relatively cheap, as neglect has taken them over just like the old ones that were tossed in the yard and uncovered or poorly covered. The damage to these is not...

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    Were getting to the point now where the boats manufactured with all composite materials in the hull are 20 years or more older. You can research when brands changed to comp and look for neglected examples. Then u will mostly be just dealing with mechanical deferred maintenance and repairs, plus...

    I just cut and buffed afterwards, except for a few spots where there were runs, I wet sanded them, then cut/buff.

    Advice on transom , stringers and floor rebuild

    I dont see the benefit of the straight gel base. It will go on wavy and by the time you fair that all even, u will have removed most of it and be back where u started. If ur looking for build, an additional layer of the 50/50 904/gel would be a better route for the cap. as for color, black...

    Transom patch

    Just keep it simple, most everything you will be doing on your boat can and should be done with standard laminating resin. Heat speeds the cure of epoxy, so in a warm climate or day, slow hardener is used, around 70 deg, medium works best, cold temps, fast helps a bunch. Epoxy is very...

    Transom patch

    5:1 is standard laminating resin. Thats what u need. the 2:1 is a specialty clear flexible formulation, not needed for ur application. choose fast or slow based on temps where you are
