    Christmas lights!

    Putting them up is easy but the removal is a PITA in the colder months. The weather is hard on them.

    My Winter Hobby

    Stop being a stranger....... Yeah I got to use a new to me toy on that first snow - I have evolved to a side by side with a 6' Plow. I will just say I had plenty of power and it was a learning experience. I did enjoy the closed cab.

    Painting Aluminum

    You can use bolts and washers and Gluvit or Coat-it will work. No need to use 5200 then another coating. If you use a wires brush on a drill - use a brass one or a fiber brush. the steel ones could leave residue that will react over the years.

    Painting Aluminum

    I would strongly recommend Gluvit or coat it on the outside seams. Tilt the boat on a slight angle to do one side of the seams - let it seep in and the next day tilt the boat and repeat from the other direction. You could also Re-buck the rivets if they appear loose prior to the sealants.

    Painting Aluminum

    I have used both and actually prefer gluvit on the inside. The coat it will be somewhat okay but I would consider that more of a "wear-abrasion" coating if used on the bottom. I personally would just stay with paint on the outside. Lifting your boat can be accomplished using the cherry...

    I think I'm another story of a bad boat purchase

    Yes you have rotted strings and a bad deck What is holding that V6 in place??? It is mounted to the transom and stringers...... I have no idea what you have spent but I see a tremendous amount of work ahead of you.

    Too windy?

    Maybe it is me getting older but high winds take to fun out of things forcing you to pay more attention to the boat instead of a fishing line. It also depends on where you are oceans vs small lakes (Not the great lakes) sometimes you can find a less windy spot but, there may not be fish there...

    Primary and Secondary Imbalance - Alfadan Outboard Motor ?

    Pure physical dimensions comes to mind. a single 1875 cc piston would be say 8" or so! Basically what has been described is a inline 4 that has been supersized. They are making up by increasing the volume to reduce the connecting rod. I hope they can do it. It is interesting

    Got the wife a new RAV4 Prime

    The wife is very good about using gas, electric, hybrid and charge mode - have not tried the trail switch yet The funny thing is we hear about people putting fuel in it once every 6 months. The wife ran the battery out the other day just to see what happens and the transition to hybrid was...
