Does any one know what MFG used for a burgee staff in the late 60's. Aluminum, Stainless or wood? My bow light has a 5/8" hole, which is an unsual size. :confused:
Thanks
Ed
Can someone help me identify this hole. I believe my boat may have had a Mercury motor on it. Could it be a control boot of some kind? Thanks...:confused:
Guys,
Has anyone used "Signature" brand paint? I spoke with the guy who developed it (Tom Fabula). Says it works well below the waterline and can be tinted. Also, roll and tip is the preferred method of application. The paint is an acrylic urethane enamel. Any help would would be very much...
Guys
Can epoxy paint be tinted? Should it be done? Does anyone have any experience doing it? I wanted to use Interlux's new VC performance paint, but their technical people do not recommend it! My boat is trailered most of the time. Except for a week or two while I'm vacationing. It's always...
Hi Guys'
I'm new to this stuff so bear with me. I bought a '68 MFG that I believe had a 65 hp Merc on it. The Merc was pulled off several years ago, and now has an Evinrude . Also, the steering wheel is not original, so I assume that was changed at the same time. Would this seem right? The...
Hey guys!
Found a place that has replacement rub rail for my '68 Edinboro :) Fiberglassics had an ad for Wefco Rubber co. I called them up, sent in a sample, and sure enough, they had a matching die! Talked with a guy named Pete. Very easy to do business with.:D It is a bit pricey, but I only...
Hi guys,
How come every MFG I look at has a problem with the rub rail? Specifically the vinyl inserts. Is it me? or do they all have a shrinkage problem? I've started to look around for a replacement. I've looked a Taco, but no luck. I know Fiberclassics has Wefco, I may give them a try... The...
OK Guys.....
I need to repaint my old fiberglass MFG. I took it around to a few of the local boat shops for some pricing. I got 4 different answers to what each thought was best.
The first shop suggested we use an epoxy paint for the entire hull. The hull was originally painted or gelcoated in...
Hi Guys'
I have a 1968 MFG Edinboro fiberglass lapstrake. I have begun a full restoration on her. Originally, she had a Merc 65 hp motor on it. However it was long gone when I bought the boat. I am looking for another. My question is.... If my transom measures 20 and a half inches at it's...
Glad I found this site!:D
I just bought an Edinboro 170 in July. Didn't get to use her much, but when I did I really liked the way it handled. So, much so, I've decided to restore it to it's original set up. Hope everyone is ready for a ton of questions! ;)
Ok,... so maybe I'll start with just...
