    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    I like these pumps. Reading specs says water level to @ 1.9 to 2" for float. I also like the idea of not another electrical device/float to activate the pump. They are easy to remove and are wired to let you do a manual test, turn on to pump and leave in an active position. Seaway makes a...

    Like the old man said 40 grit or better. Just be carefull of over gauging. Belt sander kicks ass and grinder for tight spots. Their is nothing nice at all about the history you are going to remove. Dress well. Take breaks and sit back, then go to it. Hot showers required. With this script of...

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Rear of the fishwell towards the bilg. Really no ther way. Gravity will do the rest on the drive home with the plug out. Or bilge pumps will be a go while on water. Plus keeps you able to see if pumps are doing their jobs.

    Floatation Foam in Closed Space

    One hole at each end. Place boat on a tilt to help gravity flow. @1.5-2" holes will work.

    Nah not really a form. Its a shape curvature on the exterior to be applied over the fiberglass. Decorative only. So the lengths of wood will be bound together as 1 pc. Then I'll make a simple template of the area to apply the wood. Has some mild curves etc to follow. So the block od wood gets...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    So I bought new teak woods and will use to make a form. I've read to burn the edges to probably remove the oils then glue up. It's an exterior use. They will be butt jointed with dowels and glued. Then finished to shape and oiled and attached. I will be using EEEpppoooxxxyyy. Any insight...
