Re: 1985 Capri 1600 rebuild SPLASHED!!
Not much updates or progress reports on this during the build. Frankly I didn't do anything that hasn't been asked and answered on here a hundred times. And with all the Bayliner threads I had nothing new to post...
Re: Advice needed on searay with dirty bottom hull pic
Just went through the same thing. Scum was almost 1/8" think in spots. Get this:
Muriatic Acid. It?s available at Home Depot or Lowes. Be sure to carefully read the instructions (hull cleaning instructions on the bottle) and wear your...
Re: 1985 Capri 1600 rebuild
Oh, almost forgot. I finally went through the glove box contents (there was a ton of crap in there) and look what I found:

Great idea about the tent and heat lamps Wood. Should take care of the surface temp and air temp all in one. I liked the setup Jay used on the Sea Ray with the PVC, if I copy that it should work out nice. I think I even have some 6 or 8 mil plastic out in the garage...
Hello all,
