    1990 Bayliner 2651 resto

    Thanks kcassels! Baby steps I installed the floor back in the aft cabin. I used thickened polyester and chop strand fibers to add strength to the resin. Used a putty knife to apply the poly to stringers and bulkhead. Then placed the original piece (cut out) back to where it was. I’ll run some...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Putting things back on the boat

    Just about ready to start reinstalling trim tabs. I’ve epoxied up the old holes. Now it’s time to redrill and put things back. What’s the best way to seal the screws as I reinstall? Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Not sure you need seal with old timers or Thompsons. never heard anyone doing that. just be sure to saturate the wood with resin prior to installing. That will seal the wood just fine.

    Rustoleum or not

    I’ve got a gallon of rustoleum white paint that I’m considering using it to paint my entire bildge and engine bay. Is this a bad move or not? Seems to me that spending the dollars on a bilge coat product seems senseless. This is a trailer queen and will not be left in the water for more than a...

    Math problem

    Well I’m no math wiz but here’s my thinking 50:1 ratio in a one gallon tank would mean 2.6 oz of 2 cycle oil is needed. In a 6 gallon tank you would need 15.6 ( roughly 16) oz of 2 cycle oil. Since you had only 1 gallon of fuel in the tank and you put in 16 oz. You would need to add roughly 5...

    Is this trim end cap usable?

    I’d try and get the surface where the last last washer sits a bit cleaner. Emory paper? and be sure the channel where the final c clip that holds the washer in place is clean. Since the seals are inside the cap you should be good to go. Good luck
