    Building a '93 Caravelle 1750 Classic Bowrider

    Problem with using ink or a marker on foam is that it can bleed thru especially with white vinyl. May take a year though. Marking on the back side of the vinyl is even worse.

    Overhauling old trailer and Greenball Tow Master Load range F ST225/75/R15 tires?

    Another option is the US made Goodyear Endurance. They seem to be easier to find right now. Check Discount Tire which is the same as Americas tire for both Maxxis and the Endurance.

    Time to re-upholster - Formula 330 SS

    Awesome...thanks. Going to try this new fabric that I see a lot of the pros using for some parts of the seat. It's called Silvertex. It's vinyl but looks like fabric. Not my photos or my work:

    Replacing snaps for the boat cover

    Add more snaps and replace the ones you already have. They have a hammer tool that kinda works ok. I make boat covers and use a professional tool like this one.
