Hey There, Rhody!

I do not have a reference for it, but I can see by some drill holes that this light was replace/not original... Do you have a picture of your spare "Jetson's" Stern Light? I am absolutely interested in getting one. Please pm me if that is easier for you. Thanks!

Pugetsound, thanks for your posts... Yes, I am very lucky indeed! the tank on my boat is in excellent shape, it's an 18 gallon tank (flat as well) and will clean up nicely (pics to follow)... There was only one battery on the boat so we are adding an additional battery and re-wiring the the boat from front to back, allowing for more amps for Instrumentation, Stereo, etc... We are working on a new color scheme, though I think we will go with the 70's color palate (desaturated, muted colors). The compression check on the motor was excellent, so we are in great shape there... Would love to see some photos - email to follow.

As for the transom, yes - it did have some dry-rot areas as did some of the flooring... Since I am in this deep, I want to get everything done and not have to worry about it for years to come... I certainly understand the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" idea, so I'm only hitting the areas in need...

Many thanks!

Jonny

Not sure what the deal is with postng picks - maybe EZ will get finished with his OB and tell us

Anyway - I think SC stopped those cool 60's stern lights sometime in the late 60's - but they are definately the one to get - try ebay from time to time

Well bro, you already have the photobucket account so it's easy!

Just click on the "IMG CODE" in your pb and it will automatically copy it. Paste it in your post. Piece of cake man!

That is sweet! And yes, the opening sequence to the show was genius...

That light is really sharp!! You can re size the pics in photobucket as well I think I usually post 320x480 or something like that smaller than original anyway unless its a close up detail pic.

Hey y'all...

So, I've been thinking about what to do as far as a floor covering in the boat. I have seen so many options discussed, it's become a bit confusing... Raptor Liner has been the latest suggestion and upon research, I think I like the idea of it. Obviously, one drawback to it is if I need to get under the floor, it will be a messy situation to get in... But I don't want anything that can tear or carpeting, which can become overrun with mildew...

Anyway, I am open to suggestions on this, as well as new back-to-back fold down seats... I need those as well.

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of my marine vinyl floor. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New Boat/DSCF2504.jpg


As for pictures, they installed an update to the forum software that seems to have broken some things. As usual, iboats just installs these thing without any thought or concern or follow up as to their consequences. This is why I advise everyone not to rely on iboats for their picture host. Photobucket is the way to go. I've found lots of handy uses for mine in addition to posting pictures here.
