These come around in the fall Sunset

Ok it's time for a few new ones, Went to Wal-mart to check out the Everstarts they had the group 27 and 29 deep cycle reasonable prices ect but guess what? They do not carry ANY type of warranty on these batteries! NONE whatsoever, asked the managers and they said they don't know why this is and...

It is not rubber, It is not sand but it is coarse like sand. Very fine granulars. I sprinkled it on pretty thick and proly used way to much but what the heck, you can tone it down if it's to rough for you by putting another coat of paint over it.

No carpet for this boat, sick of it coming unglued, sick of trying to get the glue off the aluminum or wood, NAKED is this :lol: No fuss No Muss :lol:

I used the Pettit 9900 Skidless Compound, Put a coat of paint down sprinkled it on the paint and then rolled another coat of paint over top.

What a great job! Like that it is all aluminum. Very Very nice.

Finally got the whole boat painted and here are some picks, black outside, red inside, Pettit easypoxy with non skid additive on front deck, back bench seats and the floor which isn't in the boat ( removable aluminum floor ).

Few pointers on using this paint. 1) use a foam roller that will be able to reach every part of the boat. 2) don't try and touch up the bad spots after the paint gets even a slight bit tacky. 3) use as little paint as possible squeeze the paint out of the roller before applying. 4) let dry...

Caught a break in the weather and decided to paint. Sanded and primed with self etch duplicolor spray bomb. Then a little sanding and a coat of aluminum primer. Had to wait for the weather again and finally put the real paint down Pettit Easypoxy Black. Pictures don't due this paint justice...

I did my floor and front deck with a sheet of 8x4 .125 6061. The front deck is supported and the floor is supported and screwed in place. Very sturdy and if welded , riveted, screwed down to a few braces won't flex at all. Price on my sheet was 125.00 or 135.00 I live in MD and bought this...

Nice set of Boat Hatches at a good price in the Classifieds sections right now.

Even though I didn't think it was going to be this much work, I decided to concentrate my efforts on the inside ribs and floor of boat. Since finding the corrosion problem and getting the right info from the great people here the decision to go the extra mile was easy. The weather here is going...

After sanding, cleaning, then priming with self etch primer it was ready for a coat of Rustoleum aluminum primer. ( Was gonna use red oxide primer but found this which is specific for aluminum ) The weather here in MD has been quite wet so put this off till...

I used to have a wooden deck on mine. Bolted a piece of 2x4 to existing front deck support plate 3/4 inches below level of middle bench seat. Then laid the 3/4 in plywood down on top of 2x4 which laid flat on the middle bench seat. This put the deck about four inches from top rails. Recently...
