    Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

    I have been waiting for this post for sometime now. I felt a little bit of relief after launching and a bunch after recovering the boat. We are having some issue with the engine I think I have a fuel delivery problem and we did some diagnostic to it on the water but I need a fuel pressure...

    Did a little saltwater fishing in SC last week.

    Our live well in the little boat is essentially a plastic tote so the corners are rounded the pump system picks up water from the surrounding area. And keeps pretty good aeration. We keep it on the timer thing so we don't run the batteries down unusually fast. But it has to 30 minutes or less...

    What is a popping rig? I've heard the term I just haven't had time to research it. I'm a Midwestern guy who likes to visit the saltwater, so I'm still learning. I understand pogies don't live as long if they're caught in a net as they do if you snag them.

    Did a little saltwater fishing in SC last week.

    Caught some pogies about an hour before we got in that spot. Hooked them right on the dorsal fin. Hook on a steel leader and a 1oz weight about 15 feet down just drifting with the current. The pogies died pretty soon after we caught them like we were out there for about 3 hrs total including...

    It was. I've never got to really spend any time in the salt water fishing. It's really a whole different game than what I'm used to. We got to do some crabbing also.

    Did a little saltwater fishing in SC last week.

    I went for a little vacation down in Edisto Beach SC last week. Took the family down, Dad and I got to fish way more this time since we took the little fishing boat and moored at the marina. We're still running the old Chrysler Bassrunner powered with a 86 Mercury 60hp. I got to land a couple...

    Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

    In the final stretches of this job. The change from random construction to finished work is always fun. There's still a bit of work to be done, but I can see the end, rather the splishin and spashin behind the boat.

    How to Add a Wax to Poly Resin (Recipe)?

    I think I may have not been paying attention with the 904 stuff. I ended up rolling all my work since spraying wasn't a good option. Had I not coated the inside of my spray gun with PVA it would've been a goner.

    Yep. I really wait for the smiles on the water that's the best part, the lack of boat payments is always a plus.

    Yeah hope to have some time with it on the water in July, August, September. June I'll have to slack off on this boat and get setup for my annual trip to the coast.

    Got the floor finally done. Couldn't spray gelcoat like I wanted. So everything was rolled on. Jacked the boat up and got the trailer painted. Working on trim now. Should be done by Christmas. Lol

    Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

    Been away for a bit got some work done. Tomorrow I get to lay the final coats of gelcoat inside. I got the texture thing worked out. Was going to use soft sand, but I got to thinking and decided to try a grout sponge to make the texture. I added just a tad bit of cabosil to tighten up the mix...

    I never realized until now that I could add a pulpit to this thing. I always thought they were more of a built in item .

    Finally got some good weather for boat repair once again. Had been thinking about how I would contour the bench so it wasn't a toe buster.

    Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

    You'd think the excess fuel would come out the vent though. I don't know why the seat would have anything in it. It's only had fuel fed by the fitting on front on the bench, before that was just a little down the vent tube to fill the bowl up for a quick run up.

    Well I didn't give up I did however take a break, a very long one. Starting back to work on the old girl. Last week I swapped out the old points ignition for the newer Delco EST distributor. Everything was off to a great start I got a few good coughs out of the engine to verify timing was in...

    I need a couple pictures of a SBC powered AQ 290

    Thanks sir, Yeah I found the drawing on VP's site at least the part from the pipe off the transom plate to get the part number. I just couldn't figure how they ran that hose and being this is new to me I've never seen this setup installed in another boat. That new arrangement is not nearly as...
