    What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

    If your buying from Amazon and probably other places it comes in a tight roll in a box.I laid mine out flat for a couple of months with weights on top and it helped a lot.I read some recommendations to use a 3M spray glue as well as the self adhesive which I did after washing the deck down with...

    Refitted 78 Searay 22 SRV Podded w/twin 2015 Mercury 115 -4 Strokes and 2021 Tuff EOH trailer

    No more projects for me,I found out I'm a terrible estimater (time and materials) and getting too old and sore at the end of day. Brutus,the old dinged prop goes with the boat as a spare,new one on it now.I put more time and money into this one than ever before,should be good now for another 40...

    Fuse Holder Position

    The last couple of boats I've had and my current project boat I mounted a fuse panel on the transom to run my downriggers and washdown pump.That way I know exactly where to replace the fuse in a hurry if necessary,it never has been. I don't like a lot of wires connected to the batteries.I had...

    That 208 Grady looks good.Not sure what year they changed to the curved windshield,but that boat looks the same as my 2008 model.

    New Fuel Tank installation, pre 1980 Double Eagle 190.

    Make a plywood piece the shape of your tank (V bottom) and use that to see how high your stringers need to be front and back.Probably only 1 or 2" high to give bottom clearance.

    Below waterline primer

    You can actually,the wax comes to the surface to allow the gelcoat to cure without being sticky.You just need to wipe it down with acetone and sand before the next coat.I always buy unwaxed and add air dry (liquid wax) when needed,normally the last coat.This guy do's great video's for Total...

    I don't think you can go wrong at close to that price.It's practically new and will have easy resale for years.

    New Fuel Tank installation, pre 1980 Double Eagle 190.

    You should try to support the length of the tank fore and aft with 2 stringers with the stern lower for the fuel pickup.Glassed in and gelcoated.A rubber piece on top is good but don't use any fasteners to hold it down,use Sikaflex.Your tank should fasten to the sides of your outside...

    Below waterline primer

    That's more or less what I do.I drill out the holes to dry wood,countersink the holes,use a syringe to fill the hole w/epoxy ,tape over it so it doesn't run out,let set overnight.Epoxy and polyester don't like each other,so I grind about a 2" circle + or_ 1/8" deep and fiberglass till flush.Then...

    I've never heard of a 23 Bertram,so I think it's their 20 Ft. version with the euro transom added.Looks like a pro job on it. Years ago Canoe Cove had the molds for the 20 and 25 Bertrams.
