Welcome Kim!
That looks like a sweet setup you have coming together! I know how you feel about not being home; just arrived in the southern Philippines for another 6 month rotation. Remember to post lots of pics of the maiden voyage!

Re: The Journey Begins
Pjay9,
My nav lights are in the exact same position. She is a USCG inspected and documented boat and they didn't say anything about them. Is there a different rule for length of boat?

Re: Old Zolatone
I have a lot of work flexibility from 1 Mar to 26 Apr. meaning i can take time off for several days at a time. Maybe that can help keep costs down, and i can learn a thing or three about painting!!Chaps wrote:We'll get 'r done, did you say you want to help?

Re: Armstrong Cat build
It is a better ride sitting further back by the head and facing forward. The seats having verticle backs is not going to be a comfortable place to sit for long unless the cushions are made with a rake...go look at some truck campers (RV) an see what they have done using cushion design. Also if it i...

Old Zolatone
Does anyone have an idea how to "refresh" aging Zolatone? The old girl is about 13 years old now, and the cabin is starting to peel and yellow in places. It looks like there was a layer of clear coat that is coming off, especially on the roof where the zodiac lives. I am going to re do the...

I have never worked with glass or gel coat before. How difficult is it for a first timer? Lots of you tube vids make it look pretty easy.

Re: Waterdog HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Thank you gents!!
John, getting the boat ready. I have the ceiling pulled out so i can wire the second VHF and re wire the horn. Waiting for a little better weather so i can insulate the fish holds.
Hopefully I'll be able to splash her by april!!

Chtucker,
do you have any idea where they purchased the two black scuba tank holders on the transom? Those would be perfect for the Diversion.

Flexible rubberized coating
So the plan now after doing much research is to line the hold with 1 1/2" closed cell foam sheets. They are easy to cut, nonabsorbent. It is the same stuff that is above the headliner in the cabin. http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Materials-Insulation-Rigid-Insulation/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbaxx/R-10032...

Re: Insulated Fish Holds
Fisherman, I am working on this exact project for my boat. Originally the plan was to spray expanding foam insulation on the walls and floor and when it was dry sand it to about 1 inch thick. Next i was going to shoot a bedliner-like material. Recent advice from a commercial fisherman has me looking...
