    Skipper's hat from Gilligans Island. Sources?

    I already found the polo shirt. The pants are off white kakis easily found anywhere. However, I am having trouble finding the hat. One source for a high quality hat is almost dead on but has Greek laurels on it. Would any you guys know a source of quality black captain hats with the...

    I am looking for one or two endcaps for my rubrail. The boat is a 1969 V-145. It would be a bonus to get the original screws, also. I can provide more details like measurements if needed.

    Replacement lenses for late 60s Perko bow light??

    The "red" lens on my 1969 V-145 has gone clear. Maker was Perko. Anyone know if I can get replacements for both red and blue? Where and what part number? A local marine shop is going out of business and has a set of Perko lenses left. If I can get a part number I'll see if it matches the one...

    Sparkle gel coat question

    A while back someone posted a link to a site that sold sparkle gel coat. The company offered the flakes in different sizes. I'd be darned if I can't find the thread and site! :( Anyone know what I am talking about? They illustrated the size of flakes in the paint.

    Options in marine vinyl floor covering?

    According to http://www.csctextiles.com/nau.htm Deco Dot vinyl flooring is discontinued. The color "brite blue" was the one I needed for my Batboat. However, these days I would not have been able to afford it until the beginning of next month. I am out of luck and NEVER want to use carpet or...

    Name those cleats. The ones that go on the transom

    What the heck are those called? The eye shaped cleats that go on the rear of the boat. they are used to strap the boat to the back of the trailer. Can't come up with the proper name. Even in net searches! Geesh! I am going nuts over this and it isn't even 8 in the morn yet! :(

    Good source for marine American Flags??

    I am looking for a high quality American flag. Not one for the boat but one for the house. Stars and stripes stitched together. I figured that the ones I see at the marina on the larger vessels may be much better made than the ones I see at the stores "Made In China". Are there any really...

    What is this on my trailer and can I make a better trailer walk ramp??

    Attached below is the front of my trailer. It is poorly made and rickety where the crank is. I can't get the boat close enough to touch the roller because the crank hits the boat. Can I find or make a better one, and most importantly, what is is called? Also, I always get wet when I launch...

    What part is this on my trailer???

    It is some kind of spring loaded latch but no catch on it to latch on to something. Anyonoe know what this is? The line drawing shows where it is on my trailer. There is nothing for it to connect to. The whole trailer is welded together and I have no idea what that loop thing to the right of...

    Treated or untreated wood for bunks?

    I need to put new bunks on my trailer because they are not sufficient for my boat. It sits crooked so I just priced new 2 x 6 boards. Lowe's treated wood is a few dollars more than untreated. However, I am figuring the trailer will never be in the water for more than 30 minutes a year and the...

    Evinrude 1958 Lark overhaul cost????

    I have a 1958 Evinrude Lark, 35hp, model 35514 and it needs to be fixed. Looking it over today, I am assuming that all wires, gaskets, spark plug cables and everything else with rubber on it needs to be replaced. When I pull the cord it will not budge so I am assuming it will need a complete...

    Examples of SeeDoo engines used in old glass boats?

    My fiberglass anti-crime cruiser is 14 foot long and I've read about folks using SeeDoo jet engines in their classic glass boats. What would be the pros and cons of making mine with a jet engine?? Two holes are made in the hull. Would I have to do anything extra structurally to the hull? My...
