    Swim Platform Materials

    Re: Swim Platform Materials Well to update: I've got things mostly done. A buncha' sanding (but no where near as bad as I was thinking). I had some repairs to do, and did wind up getting hold of some teak pieces pretty cheap and easy. I've treated it 3 times with teak oil over two weeks...

    Swim Platform Materials

    Re: Swim Platform Materials Thought I'd revisit and update this a little. I did take the deck apart over the winter and I had some time to start working on it today. I'm going to try to finish the sanding up this week and start the varnish. I'm planning on being on the water in April, but I...

    Wallpaper and Drywall

    Hey guys: I need some suggestions from the home repair/improvement experts. Several rooms in our house were wallpapered when we purchased it (15 years ago). We didn't care for the wallpaper and went to pull it down several years back and figured out that the original owners papered right onto...

    1977 Cobalt 19BR

    Re: 1977 Cobalt 19BR Mine's a straight 6, but it's located here: you can just see it peaking out in the middle left side beside the electrical harness connections. Mine was originally propped with a 14x16 or 14x18. Some info at the same site I sent you to before HERE. If you're at Travis...

    Need a photo paint wizard for interior design

    Re: Need a photo paint wizard for interior design I think the white may be a little too much - If you're going to do the bulk of the interior in white, then it would work. But if you're going to lean more on the black and yellow look the boat already has, I'd work in yellow and shades of grey...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Re: More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old Yeah, that initial belch of smoke and then the monster roars. We got a chance to work with the CAF last year, and see several of their planes up close. Including FIFI: I got to climb all over inside (WOW), and almost got a ride on board but...

    More Navy flyin' - tribute to the Blues of old

    Since I was pokin' fun at the Navy fliers a little earlier (over in Volphin's thread) , here's an olive branch and a raised glass to the fine fliers of the U.S. Navy and their excellent birds: Blues Bearcat Web Video I've gotten to work with the Blues one time and very much enjoyed it. I...

    Water from int housing?

    Re: Water from int housing? Dunno' about a healthy 800, but my reasonably healthy electric shift doesn't really have a "tell-tale" stream. It's more of a controlled geyser :D The gaskets at the trunions on mine are pretty shot - so the water flow "out" is kinda' dynamic. Bad quality image...

    Unique Circle Yachts

    Ran across THIS in a design blog. After the response to Steve Jobs yacht, I thought this one was an interesting step in a completely different aesthetic direction. The main (anchor) design is a 400' ship and then a complement of 5 designs at 295' each within the "circle." One ship, JAZZ has...

    Swim Platform Materials

    I need to rebuild or replace my swim platform. The one on the boat was an add-on by the previous owner that they got salvage. It works/ed pretty well, but it's in need of some serious help, if not a complete replacement. A couple of pictures for reference: The center section opens on a piano...

    Congrats, Bondo on 50,000 posts

    Re: Congrats, Bondo on 50,000 posts No, no worries there. They have special keyboards up in the Northeast: One finger and POW, it's there. It's wicked ;)

    Towable Ski Disk

    I can't find the thread now, but someone posted a towable ski disk link to this video: Disk Ski - YouTube I decided to go ahead and make one of the silly things and try it out. The "low speed" aspect of the towable was appealing for a few reasons: 1.) my boat is old, heavy and tired ... she's...

    Costa Concordia Salvage - Live feed

    Re: Costa Concordia Salvage - Live feed Makes sense sitting there so long, but look at the damage done on the superstructure: Betcha' you can get a starboard side stateroom pretty cheap right now. Yikes.

    78 seaswirl remote throttle identification

    Re: 78 seaswirl remote throttle identification On the ES Stringer the green wire is Forward and the blue wire is Reverse. Later units ('78 would count) had a white lead which is a Neutral cut out to prevent the system from cranking in gear. Basically, if the switch on the controller is...
