    Removal of bottom paint?

    I removed mine with 100 grit, the gel would have been buffable if it werent for the gouges near the keel. Took longer but gel burn thru was minimalized. was 4 layers of 2 colors. Full face mask and tyvek suit

    Another note ive read is that it gets really hot in heavy sun areas like Fl, that you cant walk barefoot without wetting it down. Thats why i decided against it on the deck of the Sea Ray after I was all but decided. Now I switched to probably using teak snap in carpet, I already have the snaps...

    Im sure if its left there to disintegrate, it will come up like old carpet padding, but if its removed when its just worn and dirty, it wont be too bad, depending on the adhesive used. I rather re-glue pieces here and there over time, then rip up crazy glued foam where the glue outlasts the...

    The non Eva stuff like Nuteak or Plasdek are like rubber mats and look like they will last a long time, but I couldnt find an affordable source for DIY sheets, most want to cnc from your templates for a fortune.

    I ordered one of the China brands from I think Amazon or Ebay for $39.00 for 34 x 94. It did come peel and stick, but not the 3m backing. It sticks ok but since im going over heavy diamond non slid, I added more adhesive. The quality is probably close to Seadek, because its just EVA, Longevity...

    Update: Today I got another item off the checklist. Installed the stereo. Finding ways to run the speaker wires under the deck was challenging. I ended up using an inspection camera with a long wand, and poked around till I found a passage thru small openings between the deck and stringers. I...

    Do a compression test on the motor, if that checks out, drain some oil from the lower unit, if its not all milky, then the rest of the motor can be reasonable to get going, then the boat project will be much more appealing with a good motor. You should at a minimum, check or replace the...

    Dont know, havent used it yet. One of the benefits is that you dont need a display if u dont want one, it will display on a smart phone or tablet so you can walk around with it, or go in the cabin, or use both display and phone. So for under 900 bux you get mobile radar. The reviews are good...

    Flexible epoxy resin

    Use a dremel type tool to v-groove all the crack lines out, then thicken the resin with a sandable filler and fair it, sand it, and paint it. You can also just grind it down a bit, lay some cloth to strengthen the area if u have flex.

    Flexible epoxy resin

    Yes, they are combatable in the chemical sense, but using them in the same laminating layup would only negate each other. The stress cracks can be fixed with regular laminating resin, you dont need flexepox, but you can use it.
