    Alumacraft 14 Build

    If the brush marks show now, they will show then. Sand enough to smooth out to the finish you want, and re-paint from there.

    I am sinking my drain plug is leaking!!!

    Maybe a wheel cylinder hone? BUT, be very slow and methodical. This might work ONLY if there multiple ridges. If there is only one ridge, you stand the chance of gouging on one side of the current ridge or the other. And with it being a "soft" metal, it wont't take much reeming.

    When covering a gas tank, you might need a fire extingusher.

    I believe in VA, if you have a floor/decking, you have to have one. Even if it's just a sheet of plywood laying on top of the ribs. As for me, they're cheap enough, put it in there.

    What's my outboard worth?

    Get the model number off the plate, and go to https://www.nadaguides.com/ click on boats, then motors, and follow the choices. I only looked at 3, and they averaged $265-$300. Then remember, they're just like a p/u truck. Depending on condition, they're worth what somebody wants to pay for them.

    Measurements on a Topper 1436

    Does anyone know, off the top of their head, the distance from the front edge of the front bench, to the back edge of the rear bench? Doing a little brain storming while at work for a bimini top. (Keepin the brain box on work these is a little hard.)

    Insect control on the water.

    They'll last about 4 hours for the scent mat, and 12 for the cylinder. One cylinder and 3 mat to a refill pak.

    Insect control on the water.

    Haven't tried the thermacell on the water yet, but I can attest that it works in the hunting woods and camp site.
