So I have finally made it to the point in my restoration where I am ready for foam to go under the deck. My boat is only a 16ft center console and under the deck is going to be completely sealed off.
My question is I am considering buying a case (12 cans) for around $45 of Dow 12oz Expandable...
I'm currently restoring my 17ft trihull center console (check my restoration thread) and I just picked up a brand new Carolina Skiff center console that I am going to use. My question is I want to use the bench seat area of the console for a live well. Can anyone point me in the direction of...
I figured I would make a seperate thread for this quick question due to no one ever answers the questions I leave in my build thread :rolleyes: anyways.

So I am in the process of restoring my 81 Malibu Trihull 17ft center console right now and yesterday I made the decision to stop denying the fact that the motor will eventually have to come off. So I rigged up a come along to a 2x6 stud and now Im trying to lift the motor from the boat. Problem...
I know I already kind of started a thread about this, but I figured I needed an "official" resto thread, so heres the start of it. This is my 1981 Malibu 16'8 Center Console boat with a 1981 Mercury 80hp Thunderbolt outboard. I have plans for a complete deck replacement, possibly redoing the...
Hey guys, first post on here so I thought I'd make it a good one. I just picked up my first real boat. Its a 1981 Malibu 16'8" center console. It has malibu stickers on it but the title says "Dixie Fiberglass Prod" so I'm not sure exactly what it is ;) anyways. I baught it for pretty cheap and...
