    Brightside polyurethane painting

    Gel was $600 for my boat (inside and out). Paint would have been $3000+. If your boat is a trailer queen, you can use enamel and hardener. Your in it for about $150. But can not leave it in the water for more than a day or so

    Fuel use meter?

    A boat moving with the wind and current uses half the fuel of a boat moving against the wind and current. too many variables to calculate fuel consumption on the front end. only way to do it is know how much fuel was consumed. only way to do that is to top it off when the boat comes back...

    Winter fishing

    Winter fishing

    you may freeze your bobbers off. if the water temp was -10, you would need a chainsaw to cut a hole in it to place the boat in it. however water temp is above freezing. other than needing to flush and drain quickly in frozen temperatures, you will be dealing with frost bitten fingers and...

    1991 Scarab Sport 300 Revival

    You know the stringers are toast as well. I would have derigged completely, pulled the cap/sole liner and done it that way.

    Building a '93 Caravelle 1750 Classic Bowrider

    For $300, I would be tempted to pick up the bayliner on facetube marketplace for $600 and sell the trailer and outdrive to get my money back.
