    Teak oil on gel coat

    Hi folks, I had hired a young teenager to apply teak oil on the gunwale trim. Unfortunately I didn't supervise closely and even though it was meticulously masked off he slopped it on having it run down onto the white gelcoat! Now there's quite noticeable stains here and there ,:-| I've tried...

    1979 Crestliner Norseman 22' Cuddy

    Yes, I've definitely given that some thought. Even Volvo leg, with transom done. Everyone says "pod it". After pricing that out it looks unreasonable. The pod coming in between $3K minimum and more like $5K for quality work, then a used 200 hp at between $10K - $15K....not really worth it at...

    65 Evinrude not firing

    Hey there folks, I got into some bad luck when my boat sank at the dock. I have got it to the point of cranking but not firing. It did start at one point then I shut it down to spray lighter fluid in the compression chambers. The idea of this was to try to burn off all the oils and such that...
