    Building a fishing boat.

    Looks like you’ve done some great work! For night fishing I assume you will also be adding navigation lights and an anchor light.

    Fiberglass Hull Restoration

    Watch vids…. There’s a ton out there. I only used 800 grit wet sand paper and got rid of the oxidation. Then buffed and then did a coat of wax. Good luck

    Fiberglass Hull Restoration

    Agree with Scott…wet sand for sure. got my buffer from Harbor freight. I did ( and recommend this to anyone who buys one) repack the gears with “good quality“ grease. The cheap o grease that’s in there doesn’t do well. good luck

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Wouldn’t a layer of resin do just as good ? Adding a layer of glass seems like over kill. Just sealing the wood should be sufficient.

    Cars you should have kept.

    76 vw rabbit. Had the service records on it from day one. Little old lady was religious on having it serviced paid 500.00 with 250k miles on it. put another 100k on it. Replaced points and rotor and a half shaft. The clutch finally went on it. Traded it for a Pontiac fiero. Remember those?
