It's a long wait for shore. Ordered a Yamaha 20 hp tiller w/electric start. Ordered it in October 21. Dealer called last week, said my baby will be delivered 7/22. Very happy ..... now I got to finish the boat!!!

NEVER MIND .... After more research; changing gears to NYALIC

Weather is almost to the temperatures needed for my paint job. I will be using Fasco's 9x paint. My question regarding clear coat .... does the final coat of paint need to be tacky to apply, or be completely cured, before applying. Looking to go with this .... Quote from their web site: VHT...

This pic is the intended pic of the finished transom(less brackets)

Took a break to get some Tractor time - Finished up all the spots I wanted to weld. Added a base for the supports for the Bimini top. Reconstructed the transom supports (less holes drilled through the floor) Added the battery compartments to the front floor section. Cleaned up some dings, and...

Today the Bimini Top was put together, and the six mounting spots were marked along the top rail. I'll weld 1" × 6" angle at 4 of these spots to mount the hold down brackets. The other two will mount on the transom angle plates at each corner. Mated up the front casting deck, installed supports...

Scrambling around on my knees, sanding the factory paint off the interior ribs and floor is almost over. About 99% of the interior is sanded down to raw aliumium. A few little spots, and the rub rail need attention on the inside, then I'll find some "young guns", and flip Her.

I just completed the task that You are starting on. In regards to sealing the wood; I used OLD TIMERS FORMULA: you can find info in the search box or Google. I used a series of 100% Spar after the series of Old Timers. In regards to Your bolt - look at 3M 5200 MARINE If You have holes; I chose...

After much anticipation, I was able to install the wooden transom, without tearing it apart, or scratching up the varnish. Also, I was able to install the 1/8" aliumium transom cap, that will tighten up the boat, and add additional protection to the original transom. Now I'm able to weld that...

It got to 70°+ ..... bought FASCO'S STEEL FLEX & DURABAK Products in October. I have been dying to see what these colors are going to look like in real time, rather than the vendors web site. First application was Fasco's. After the preparation of the aliumium, I mixed up a tan pigment that I...

Breaking ground now to get vegetables in the ground mid April. Trying to save tractor time, and maximize fuel with multiple projects at once. Prices going up on commodities, but You have to have good weather to produce them.

I have purchased the products, and awaiting for the 70° temperature needed for proper application. I have opened one of the cans to check out the color. It is "spot on" for what I want. I purchased both smooth and rough. Smooth will be applied to my front platform (wood), and 2 coats on interior...

Look at DURABAK line. Their "TAN" is spot on for my application ( dessert storm). A primer is involved on aluminum, and it's brush or roller. Comes smooth or textured.

LOWES is my primary "go to" in regards to hardware and tools. I have one 20 miles east of me and 20 miles west of me. In regards to my battery drills, and saw zaw - it's RIGID .... So HOME DEPOT is my vendor for that item. On my boat build, and the lack of supplies - I'll shop between AMAZON...

Still actively pursuing projects on my boat. Not able to paint yet, due to temperatures not at the 70° mark. Just finishing up the "lay out" of the front platform. Everything fits as it should, but not fastened yet. Got plenty to do before the platform is permanently installed. (more sanding...

Still kicking along. Been working on the front platform & still sanding the interior. Got 12 ft of 1/8th aliumuim for the floor. Working on the rear seat. Giving myself the option to sit left or right of the rudder ...... or to have my Sweetie by my side ..... Seeing some 60° in the future...

Another idea, is "BLUETOOTH" speaker(s) - work off Your cell phone. Only thing you need to supply is a power source.

If your changing oil and filters every 3,000 miles, I personally do not see a reason going "top shelf". On my 7.3 - Shell Rotella w/Motorcraft filters. Rotella has been my go to for all my tractors, and diesel trucks. Wix and Napa for everything else. Do all my service work on my equipment...

It was bad down south of Yall, on the Chesapeake - was able to make a Snowman -
