    Single Seat on a Box Instead of a Pedestal

    I am thinking of replacing a lounge seat with a single seat in my 19' Sea Ray bow rider. What do you all think about putting it on a box instead of a pedestal? Seems like it would be more sturdy and you would have some added storage space. Plus, I would be glassing the box in instead of...

    Any Pics of Wise Lounge Seats In Your Boat?

    Vaseline in the winter?

    Grinding Anode for Prop Clearance

    I just bought a new Solas prop for my 1986 19' Sea Ray with merc 470 and alpha one drive. I was told I need to grind the anode in order for the prop to have sufficient clearance. How much clearance do I need?. With a little grinding, I have 1/2" right now.

    Dumb Transom Question

    OK, I have been on here for over year now and something just came to mind as I was prepping my new wood transom. Why can't you just lay 20 to 30 layers of 1708 or 1808 Glass and just have a fiberglass transom instead of wood encased in fiberglass?
