    My side panels are 10 ft by 20 inch. I had first hoped that I could reuse the wood and just re-vinyl them. However, if I do need new plywood, do I need a 10 ft piece? or is there way to use an 8 ft piece? I was just at Menards and its about $160 out the door for a special order 10x4x1/2 of...

    I sanded the floor a bit and put another coat of spar urethane down yesterday. Now I'm trying to find some 3M 80 adhesive to buy. How much do you think I need to glue the floor vinyl down?

    I'm getting ready to put the vinyl down on the floor. I'm wondering if I should sand the wood floor again and do one more coat of spar urethane. This boat gets stored outside under a tarp. I guess even being under the tarp 99% of the time it still has some weather damage. What do you think...

    I was testing the fit before I drill holes in the new dash plywood. I was hoping I could simply reattach the windshield without rebuilding it. I do have one attachment bolt that is broken, and wouldn't mind replacing the other bolts. Do I just drill out the rivets to take the windshield...

    I took the rest of the dash apart. I wasn't sure about the wires, but it worked out that I didn't have to mess with the wires to the instruments.

    What should I use to replace the foam squeegee looking stuff they had between the wood support structure and the aluminum sheet? I was thinking maybe a thin plastic cutting board?

    I cut a new piece of plywood for the dash, but I couldn't get it wedged in there, so took of the front section of aluminum sheet. Of course to do this I had to take apart the rub rail. I pray I can get the rubber back in the rub rail when the time comes. Also there is a support piece of...

    How fast does the 3m80 set up? Is there time to smooth out the vinyl? I've read contact cement can be unforgiving because it makes an instant bond. Maybe I'll do some sample testing.

    Can someone point in the right direction on glue for my vinyl flooring? I treated the marine plywood with a few coats of the old timers formula, followed up with spar urethane as a fine coating. So I have a glossy finish on the plywood flooring. I have the nautolex vinyl flooring. Now I need...
