I have completed the floor replacement and I think that just short of sinking it on the bottom of the lake, the floor is...

    Resin to hardener Ratio

    bought some glass and resin for my project. But I think that the person that helped me was a little high. She said 1 ounce of hardener to 1 gallon of resin. Test cup is still spongy after 4 hours. Think it is safe to kick it up to 2 oz per gallon to obtain a decent set time? Totally a newbie...

    Replacing Lounge Seats

    I am planning on replacing my back to back lounge seats with pedestal seats. I am replacing the floor and I am wondering if I need to reinforce the floor where the bases will be mounted. Or should I use t-bolts from the bottom of the floor to insure a good mount. Thanks! Dan...

    Pictures of Celebrity Floor Replacement

    First, thanks to everyone who posts help and suggestions on this board. I would have never undertaken this "project" if this board wasn't here. Here are some photos of my 1989 Celebrity BR181. Noticed some soft spots in the floor, and with the arrival of a new baby, I figured I might as well...

    Replacement Woodwork

    I am looking for a source for some new wood for my boat. Mainly looking for a new set of doors that divide the cockpit from the bow on my 89 Celebrity Bowrider. The old wood (doors, treads, and cup holder) are teak and not doing too well. I can fab the rest but the shutter style doors will be...

    LED Bow Lights????

    I am getting ready to mount a electric trolling motor to the bow of my 1989 Celebrity 181. Although the mount "shouldn't" be a problem with the top mount bow light, I am thinking of re-doing it. Has anyone made a set of bow lights using LEDs? I figure 4 or 5 of each color would be pretty visible...
