    Disappearing restorations.

    Wow, I counted over 100 not-finished projects in that list. Whew! Yes, I actually counted. :rolleyes: I had plenty of time in the doctor's waiting room this morning. :cool: I'm trying to get mine on the completed side of things! :lol: Which brings me onto topic. I'd suspect that a fair number...

    1989 Bass Tracker TX-17

    I bought a brand new 1985 Bass Tracker Tournament TX-17 with a Mercury 50HP outboard with power tilt and trim. Very similar setup to yours. And my top speed was 32MPH with just me and gear. It was 28MPH with me and my lightweight family. But with me and my 250 lb. cousin I couldn't even get...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Engine Repower

    I used the Old Timers Formula on my Kingfisher transom and I'm planning to also paint it for aesthetics upon final installation.

    Finally got my hotrod

    Here's the background on why I bought the car. My beloved F-150 nearly left me stranded 60 miles from home last week. Had it not been for the help of a kindly gentleman, I would have had to get the truck towed back home. But the guy was able to help me get it running and I drove it straight...

    Finally got my hotrod

    It's a stealth hotrod! :lol: 429HP and 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Top speed limited by onboard computer to 150MPH. :heh: Luxurious and comfy too! It's home now.

    Today's progress. We're all finished for today. After we strip, we pressure wash. Then the boy squeegees the boat and towels it dry so that the next step can be taken quickly. Stripping so far:

    Oh sure, now ya tell me! :lol: The details you provided make sense. Lots of good, helpful information. Thanks! And based on that info, I can't help but wonder if the ideal way to apply the stripper would be to spray it on. Ya know? So after my earlier post, we tried a couple different...

    Didn't do any boat work on turkey day or Black Friday but got back at it today. Taking a lunch break now. :hungry: I'm disappointed with the results thus far. We marked a small area to strip, then applied a thick coat of Jasco using brushes. Next, we covered the stripper with plastic sheet...

    Some good stuff happening

    I was supposed to be working on my Kingfisher this afternoon but my buddy showed up to finish the final outlet installation. It's all done now. :) Getting the wiring tapped in to the last outlet. The last outlet being added. I forgot to get a pic when it was finished. D'oh! :facepalm:

    Wellll.... that didn't work! The instructions right there on the Jasco container clearly state to apply a thick coat with a brush. So I tried to take a shortcut in order to make application faster by applying with rollers. :rolleyes: Poor results. My bad. Lesson learned: FOLLOW THE...

    We cut the sheet to cover from the keel to the spray rail. The plan is to lift the plastic, glop on the gloop, then tape it back down over top of the paint remover. QUESTION: Should the plastic sheet have an air gap or is it okay to actually touch the stripper? :eek: :eyebrows: :heh:

    Got the KF back into the garage today. And we tested the pressure washer and I'm quite happy with its performance. :)
