    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    OK, I've decided to add a fuseblock for the bilge, livewell and nav lights. The switches are new and the tips are all rusty and they have circuit breakers now that are 43 years old. The existing wire looks to be maybe 12 ga so good there. The fuses appear to be 2am so assuming the fuse I...

    '89 Arriva 2050 Restoration

    Yeah thinking back to my bayliner I think I remember those. I didn't know about tabs at the time but for listing I would have liked them. If they will fit.

    I didn't want to restore this 1997 Islander this summer

    On the pink I decided that it would leave channels for drainage. The top of my foam was pretty dry as well but the bottom half was wet especially towards the back. In my 18 foot boat I'm guessing I got rid of maybe an extra 75 lbs of wet. Not as dramatic as some of the stories I've seen...

    I didn't want to restore this 1997 Islander this summer

    Are you scraping out all the foam to expose all rivets? I did not want to but am sure glad I did. Prob an extra 50 replaced I would not have. I put off a couple surgeries I was going have this year, 50% because of my boat needed the work and didn't want to wait almost a year to heal...

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    Hooked up a fuel line and muffs, she fired up first try. Need to finish the livewell plumbing then to the lake to putt around for water leak test and such before I pop in the last floor panel.

    Older Ryobi 18v drill battery

    Do NOT buy name brand. Temu or ebay knock offs are perfect and half the price. I bought two 4 ah ones from ebay last fall and to date they are flawless. I'm a semi pro, do handyman work and keep a six bank charger in the vehicle at all times so they are charging any time I drive. I keep...
