    1962 Chris Craft Holiday 20’ bucket list resto

    I suspect he's using it because it remains a bit flexible and is relatively water proof. I think epoxy would be too brittle. The wood needs flex due to variance in moisture. Could be other polyurethane products but 5200 is proven.

    Racerone is suggesting you eliminate the lower end because of potential damage in it. He has a Sherlock approach and wants to eliminate it as a cause.

    How is the working time with 5200, I've only used it for small things and your project ain't small!

    Tennessee

    We had a lot of lightning and rain, power came on about 10 minutes ago. If it stays on I won't need to start a fire, oh, and I can now flush the toilet again..

    Cheapest, easiest, fastest way to paint a crappy fiberglass boat?

    I probably would have gotten a few more years if I had used hardner, I didn't know of it at the time.

    Rev 4 to something else

    Take this as a grain of salt. On my previous 21ft scorpion I had a 21p x 14 1/4, I came across a deal on a Michigan 19p x 15 1/2 that I bought for spare. It soon was my choice. The extra diameter gave me better brakes and didn't have any adverse effect on top end.

    Cheapest, easiest, fastest way to paint a crappy fiberglass boat?

    I did an old boat just as you described, just oil based house paint with a roller and brush. It lasted about 5 years and eventually disappeared but it didn't peal or flake.

    Where can this water be coming from?

    That's encouraging. A leaky core plug is not a death sentence, that said water where it shouldn't be needs fixing..

    Cybertruck

    I like the torque an electric motor brings, but to be honest with you, most every problem I have on my 2001 GMC is electric. So I'm a bit jumpy going total electric. Gas gauge hasn't worked in years, abs light is random, stereo has lost a channel, and window motor crapped out, cabin fan random...

    Need help identify part

    Also check your manifolds and elbows, they get clogged up with rust and water flow becomes restricted and exhaust gas fries your drive.

    Can anyone identify the type of boat in this painting?

    I don't see a cutaway stern, my best guess is a junk. The stern is painted and is deceiving.

    This shaft is too long, right?

    Not too far off the mark. Raising it won't hurt. A couple of inches in shallow water probably won't won't help much. It's what makes you happy that counts.

    Did you ever wonder?

    They'd probably fight over who gets to drive!
