I think it was the material- to-be painted condition, the prep and painting conditions, and the entire process that led to your observed success - more than than the kind of paint. Fortunately, chemicals are often (not always) better now than those used in 1988

sign of the times and unfortunately KC will probably be smarter about it than Buffalo...

our family's thoughts are with your Family (especially Tucker) for a speedy and full recovery - which our pets "say" is on it's way

I hear ya on the getting hard to to see things - sorry to hear of your difficulties. But glad to know its not just me. good point "You can not depend on brand new parts to keep your motor running perfectly........."

a big can of PFOA?

The background music is great! Been following your projects, and understand where you're at. I am trying to get rid of stuff/simplify for those that will still be on this planet when I am not. I am considering leaving a few $ for removal/disposal of the stuff nobody wants, and reduce my...

landfill it

Newly fitted and made? or older and not used? The material may have shrunk if older but not used/kept stretched. Maybe reseal it (several good products out there) and while wet, put it back on/snapped but flat, then keep increasing the pole length to get it to stretch and drain. Pics might...

Cool boat! And only about $4k into it? That's like 3 dinners out...

Buffalo outer harbor 7/4/2019 (we didn't know their ship-cat)

Aside from the realities of any multi-purpose piece of equipment, this part is funny "the company offers an all-electric version as an optional add-on. Neither the price of the electric nor the standard version has been released yet"

they should pay you to re-use some similarly, I've got the same thing going on the wood steps to my deck - thinking about a trex-type material - oh boy

Have gone electric for trimmer, blower, and "hedge trimmer'- OK for light duty use, and now the kids can get me drills, lights, etc that go with my 'system'. Much easier to deal with especially when transporting to other places that need some light duty work done. Timing works out for me, no...

It's cool how that operator keeps doing that move over and over...

depending how you look at it, we're all invasive species

our older boats (no Mercs) have no audible alarms (that works for us), when we put in a newer fuel pump couple years ago, it has its own alarm, which turns off when it senses sufficient fuel pressure - a guest has never asked why the system-check noise - but if one did, I'd tell 'em it's a good...

The discussions regarding hydraulics and flow of fluids against solids are always interesting. Fluids can be liquids or gases. The variables in the governing equations are the same - fluid densities, velocities, roughness coefficients, and your objectives are important when looking to apply...

The dual battery switch, with an off position, when switched off - allows you to be sure you didn't leave anything on draining a battery - and is kinda a "poor man's security system" (especially when it's out of view)

and consider how far away the load will be lifted from the center of the lifting structure (moment-arm) and the overturning forces the boat will see (if the lifting-structure doesn't fail)

must be the boater/engineer in me as well - thanks for posting that data regarding the GPS speed noted, is that with no significant current or wind?
