    New Toy (for vinyl work)

    Re: New Toy (for vinyl work) I couldn't find Stainless Steel at HF otherwise, i'd picked 'em up! I can get whatever size at Fastenal or Western Fastener if the T50's are incorrect? A lot of reviews I read said the T50 (from Arrow) is what to use?

    New Toy (for vinyl work)

    Re: New Toy (for vinyl work) Heck, that looks pretty good to me...I'd rock it! That must be the insert for the sun lounge? I'm filling mine in with foam and covering it with a simple pattern of arctic white and navy blue... I bought the same stapler at HF for $18.56. Haven't tried it yet...

    New Toy (for vinyl work)

    Re: New Toy (for vinyl work) Thanks Further... It's easier to place a block of wood under the treadle to stop it from going full speed, rather than messing with different pulleys...or I can just practice, a lot, and get the feel down!? A lot of the time it's a matter of pushing the treadle just...

    New Toy (for vinyl work)

    As some of you know I got the Chris Craft that needed a new motor (done) and needed a new interior. I am the king of cheap/freebies, but sometimes, I even surprise myself! I was planning on getting the interior done professionally; however, I am cheap and the only reason I wasn't going to tackle...

    Merry Christmas 2013

    To all iboats members; I hope this season finds you full with blessings, and not desires. May we all reflect on what we mean to the world and what the world means to us? May we find peace in family, friends and most importantly enemies. I don't know most (hardly any of you), but I am thankful...

    Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

    Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist. I like it too...that being said, you'd have to be somewhat creative to mount a decent sized OB...what size? Maybe 50-60Hp? I'm sure a gil bracket could be made to facilitate that? Something like this, only smaller/simpler?

    Roadtrip For A Boat

    Re: Roadtrip For A Boat Thanks AC...it was not a bad drive at all, set the GPS, hooked-up the music and took turns driving...I will say over all the trip was rewarding and the amount saved between the trailer and the boat justified the long trip (boat easily lists over $50K, and that's with...

    GPS/Chartplotter/Fish Finder

    Hey fellow iboaters... Looking for some input in a new GPS/Chartplotter/Finshfinder! I'm leaning towards the Lowrance HDS5 as it has all the features I'm looking for...plus it has the ability to tie-in the Lowrance sound system (Sonichub), which appeals to me for some silly reason? I don't...

    Replacing Bellows on a SX drive (pic heavy)

    Re: Replacing Bellows on a SX drive (pic heavy) Pull the drive bellows over the lip on the drive side of the pivot housing. Again, take your time and make sure it's seated properly?! re-install the e-clip (again I used needle nose pliers, use caution as the thing will fly if it slips off...
