Yer right I meant Gallons I think your 5 quarts is a little low. Ok I quit. KOTTE do NOT listen to me any more I AM A DUMB OKIE!!!!

LOL easy Wood ..... you seem a bit stressed out.....deep breaths.... I bought the 5 qt container and have some left over.... I guess if he has a bit more to bed 5 qts is a bit on the light side.... hard to call.... maybe start off with 2 gallons and see how far it takes you.

Did anyone ordered from this ebay shop before?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fibe...oatQ5fPartsQ5fAccessoriesQ5fGear#ht_500wt_894
1708 x 50", $4.95 per yard, sounds like a great deal

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

No, but MAN that is a good price. I guess the only thing could be Cheap fabric or something. I dunno. Guess you could order 4 yds which would be enuf to do your transom and see how good it is and then order the rest to do the stringers and deck.

 

[Kotte]

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Thanks God I don't have to do my transom (remember???). How can you tell the quality of good or bad fabric? I never worked with this stuff before.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

It's kinda like panty hose. There can be "Runs" and malformations in the BAD stuff. Watch out for the Hazmat Fee It can be a KILLER

 

[Kotte]

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Ok Wood, you start to scare me. LOL. I am also not an expert with pantyhose's. LOL.
I am waiting for his shipping fee. The prices just look great, he has good feedback on EBay (if that is good for anything)

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Shipping is the killer. The 1708 is heavy. I have always seen it sold by the pound, not the yard.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Got my first materials today The wires came in.
I need to talk the Admiral in to a trip to Phoenix to get my glass.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Good morning
Still waiting on my orders to come in.
What would you guys use to build new instrument panels? I was thinking about 1/4" ply, covert in 1.5oz and some finishing cloth, finished with some white gel cote.
Any ideas are welcome

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

I used Starboard for mine.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Alright, didn't know what to do today, so I worked on my instrument panels. I added one small instrument to the upper panel, added the fish finder to the middle one (covers the Volt meter a little bit), this is also the panel where my switches are going to be, and made a mounting hole for the VHF radio (prior to that it was just laying in the side panel).
I want to cover the wood with 1.5oz and a layer of 1708. Still don't know what color it should be.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Hey Kotte,

I'm thinkin cover em with Marine Vinyl!! Use spray adhesive and then cut out the holes. It would look sharp!!! If I was there I'd do it for you!!

Pain is under control. Going to Surgeon tomorrow for Consultation. Wish me luck!!!!

Nice job on the dash Kotte! Are you installing a breaker/fuse panel and switches for your running lights,blower,bilge and accessories?

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

I ordered a Blue Sea Systems 12 Circuit with Negative Bus and five switches. A friend of my who is an aircraft electrician will install it for me. THX God because I have no idea about electrical stuff.

Re: 1989 Four Winns 200 Horizon Restoration

Electrical is easy, Stick the wire in your mouth, and if your eyeballs pop out, thats the positive wire!!!!
