Blisters happen because gel is porous, and water can eventually seep through and become trapped between the glass and gel coat. They're usually happen where bunks sit first, because those areas don't dry as well, so the water has more time to work in. I somewhat agree with Chris, if you're...

This thing, a '91 Kawasaki Jet Ski, is going to be all done up in pink flake 🤮

Sure, but then he'll just have a big hole drilled in the dash. Beckoning, the crack needs ground out, filled, and sprayed. I'm guessing it either starts at a screw hole that wasn't countersunk or an air void at a corner. That would need to be fixed as well. I wouldn't have thought of that. It...

My guess would be that is the side that saw the most sun. Those are cracks in the gel, but likely not the glass. Don't try to sand them out.

I have two similar stories. 1. A guy had a heart attack (I think that was it) while out boating while the throttle was wide open. He rammed another boat side on, his bow went over the side and hit the other boater. Neither survived. 2. Last winter, during one of the big snow storms, a local...

I skipped a couple small jobs, but here's a Crestliner aluminum boat that I'm stripping the paint off of the bottom and repainting. The paint was flaking away in several areas, and didn't seem to be sanded where the metal was exposed.

I've never worked on a ladder, but it would still need prepped. Sanded, cleaned, sprayed. I don't know if the splintering/shedding would be a bad sign structurally.

You mean a cap to cover just the grease fitting? A vacuum line cap would probably work.

By bra, we're talking about the plastic cap right, I find those around our lot all the time, they constantly fall off. As for the grease fitting, I don't see why you couldn't replace it. They all just thread in right?

FYI, a DA, or dual action sander, is a random orbital sander with the ability to lock the shaft, turning it into a straight circular sander. That makes it much more aggressive, basically a grinder. What you have is probably a random orbital sander, which is plenty for the job. Those windshields...

Sorry, but it's not likely to happen. They don't document boats like they do automotive stuff. I have seen a few posts talking about what each color is typically used for, but no documentation. Do you have something specific you're trying to track down?

There is a news website specifically dedicated to ONLY positive news. Some big stuff, some small personal stuff, and in every field you can think of. https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

The truck is done, just needs some clean up. I still ended up with a little gap by the headlight, but it's better than the other side.

The tape is probably a guide for cutting off the excess glass when it's pulled out of the mold. There should also be a cut line above the screw holes all the way around, and just down to the glass. That's so any cracks from screwing the rubrail on, because you can't counter sink the holes, won't...

Put the fron strap through the eye, not behind

That's not something I've done. We have A frames made with I beams and square tube steel to lift them. Maybe give out 6 packs to anyone who can give you a hand? Also not something I really deal with. Our 5 gallon base colors are Polynt, which we by from composite one, and for factory colors we...

Anything on the lower hull should really be gel coat. A good single stage paint could work, but will still be much more susceptible to damage. Base and clear won't take to constant water contact well, and will get damaged the first time you load it on the trailer from the water. A boat is a lot...

That sounds pretty good to me, as long as you don't drill the holes in the angle too big. Are the angles in the front pedestal holes? Those will take the most force from the seat pulling back, so they should have the widest force dispersal you can get.

They just use stainless wood screws, #14 I think. Pre drill the holes, and run the screws in. Trying to use T nuts would require way too much precision. You would have to dry fit the floor, take it back out, put the nuts on the bottom, and put everything back in without any shifting at all. They...

No idea, I've never had to be concerned with weight. They aren't very heavy really, just not very solid on their own.
