Not the end of the world by any means Im more irritated by the extra weight than I am about the little bit of...

    Thanks again JB! Worked on the splashwell again last night. Just a bit on a VERY rough draft. Wanted to get an idea of what it would look like to try to get some ideas on what I want to do with that area exactly and what materials I would like to use. Going to buy a bit of supplies this weekend...

    Thanks =) I was debating putting the whole splashwell on just b/c I want to be sure I have everything done in time. And I dont think its too hard to take off. But besides the windows, the SW is the most hated thing on this boat. So without much thought I grabbed the jigsaw and started cutting...

    Was going to install the gas tank but thought it would be a good idea to check for leaks first. Filled the boat with water and still have 3 leaks, the main one being in the nose of the boat. No clue how its still leaking I dumped a ton of glovit of front.. a couple other tiny leaks on the sides...

    Nothing. Its just an eye bolt. I have never used them and I even asked the PO he doesnt know what they were there for either. I was thinking maybe they were used at one point to hook the tie downs to? I didnt really think about not reinstalling them.. Kind of just replaced whatever was there. Me...

    Thanks for the help with the silicone. I didnt think the 5200 was the best for plastic it doesnt seem "rubbery" enough for that type of material so I will probably check the sikaflex. (after looking I noticed the instructions that came with the aerator actually mentioned it also) But today was...

    Thanks guys! Pusher, I'm not sure about any salt water? Maybe Im misunderstanding your question. I appreciate the tip about the snowmobile suit. I didnt think of that myself but now that you men​tion it I do know that the chemo can make you cold. One of my old bosses had to go through all of...
