Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you chose a light color I wouldn't think the Durbak would be hot on the feet. And yes I you could just hose the deck down. For seating, I think the back to back loungers are the most versatile. What I'd do for the front would be to make the whole area a casting platform and then fabricate some removable bow cushions for family days.

You better take a bunch of pics when you get the boat home or these guys will hunt you down :) Plus then they can tell me how stupid I was to pass on it.

Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL ... pics will come for sure. i was just checking out the iboats store and they have a service manual for that old chrysler. it covers from like 1965-about 83 and 3-150 hp. its about 26 bucks so i was thinking about grabbing it. even IF i do replace the motor at somepoint it would still come in handy to have while i still have the chrysler. also thought since that have an additional 5% off sale id maybe go ahead and order the gluvit. would a quart do it ? or is a gallon needed to cover all the seamd and rivets ?

Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is the durbak texture hard on the feet ? i have been on paint with sand added and that can be pretty hard on the feet.

I think Rick said at one time that a quart would do it.

Good lord Nancy MAN up! lol If you decide to go with carpet for your tender tootsies just get a light color or something that won't show dirt. I absolutely hate mine because it's always filthy. I can clean out the whole boat and then step into it ONE TIME from the driveway and it's filthy again. I am THIS close to actually going to the trouble of removing it.

durabak is $120.00 a gallon. their site says a gal will cover a 6 foot truckbed. might take 2 gallons to get the 2 coats on ..??? i did a search for North Beach's marine vinyl floor but didnt see any thing.

Fairly certain the people who used it used more than a gallon. I just searched NB's thread to try to find what the vinyl product was he used but didn't see it. I did find the page where he installed it http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=286412&page=13

Interestingly enough it's an option on the new Lowe boat and it looks identical to NB's

Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i sure did and thanks to YOU.... my brain went into over drive ..lol took a while to fall asleep last night thinking about colors ...thanks buddy ..:D im thinking red/white maybe like in that pic you took. red/cream blue/white or blue and cream. i also saw someone that had custom starcraft lettering cut out of metal then painted it black to replace the original hull emblems. i was thinking about doing the same but use aluminum and pilish it then clear coat it. just a little bling that i think would look cool .. lol

Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think NB actually can make you one (logo). He has for a couple of guys on here.

Here's some links to new aluminum boats for your interior dreaming:

http://www.fisherboats.com/boat/gallery.cfm?boat=3174
http://www.sylvanmarine.com/Showroo...Fishing&Series=Expedition Sport&Model=1800 DC

I like the flip up benches some of them have in the rear and the front casting decks with removable cushions and pedastal seat. The possibilities are endless and you've got a clean slate.

Re: Attn Ezmobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott, Im going to give a big old -1 on the carpet. not only will it show dirt, but it will hold moisture too.

i for one used sand and its not bad... 2 coats, sand in 1st only. its not bad on the feet, but if you trip and land a knee that will hurt a little.

i would hold off on the manual for that chrysler until you have a chance to test fire it. what if it has a blown cyl? then you will have no need for the book because the motor will be toast.
