    For the general Tsos it's about finding a happy balance. It does need it. Am overnight was reccomended to me originally and that was too much. About half an hour is as far as I go now. And I second the thighs the way you mentioned. Cast iron slow cook to temp with nothing other then a pinch of...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Screw bracket design. What kind of power are you going to hang off the back. :LOL:

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    Yes, it was a year long process to get to sinking. But once they towed it out it was detonate a couple charges and drive away. Pretty cool to watch, thing sank like a stone.

    Glastron soft floor

    My new tank from Atlantic coastal is also epoxy coated outside. The paints/coatings seem significantly more resilient. Mostly provides a good barrier. My original tank made it 40 years uncoated, I hope to get at least that out of the new one: And my testing was for sure flawed. It was however...

    cooking

    I do that for thighs when I make general tso's... You literally can not over cook the meat. It'll burn what ever breading or the outside before it dries out. The only draw back on dark meat is the texture is not what you would expect. Not unpleasant but odd the first time I had it.

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    My marina had a few steel and aluminum boats that were donated to the artificial reef. They floated them out and sank them once anything dangerous was stripped. (may have been the coast guard or the DEP) The rest, including a few 50s were stripped and disposed of in a roll off. Almost got a nice...

    Glastron soft floor

    Lifted directly from west system in a tech article: "With the increasing use of alcohol and other high-tech additives, we are unsure how epoxy will resist them in the future. We do know that many types of alcohol vigorously attack epoxy; we can only conclude that gasoline with a higher...

    Glastron soft floor

    Ethanol dissolves most epoxy too. (Chemical reaction, no way around it) There are however a handful that are fuel rated. Unlike poly it needs pretty sustained contact to fail. But I've seen and dealt with enough to not trust it for a repair or to coat. The stuff that works isn't cheap. :ROFLMAO:

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    Meh. Ease up on seat belt laws. Natural selection will take care of the rest.

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    Meh. Modern vehicles, while damaged easier, do a significantly better job at protecting occupants than vehicles of the past. Contrary to popular belief I know. But is what it is.

    Glastron soft floor

    On my 195 I ordered an 80lb and 2 16lb kits. I figure I have about 40 cubic feet of foam in my boat. I measured width of compartment and average depth to get a decent guess.... approximated it as a rectangle. The 80lb kit probably would have done it alone. Gives near 2400lbs of floatation if...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    68 working days. Figure over how many months but still, pretty incredible pace given some days I wasn't starting until 10 and calling it quits at 8 or so. I don't think I worked on it past 21:30 once. And that also counts days I only put in an hour or two and left. Any day I was there counted.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Finished is a stretch. I have a small punch list to take care of still. Bow rail fittings, cabin needs to be upholstered and resealing the windshield/rub rail. It's fine for now but still needs some stuff done. But that stuff was always going to be done at a later time.

    Anti-siphon fittings and electric fuel pumps question.

    That was actually a step in the trouble shooting and it still didn't take off. But perhaps I didn't give it enough time to take off. Thanks Bondo I'll have to look a little closer.

    Anti-siphon fittings and electric fuel pumps question.

    So the boat is assembled and I got my first shakedown run in yesterday. Uneventful other than the test run on the trailer I couldn't get the fuel system to prime. I pulled the pickup and replaced the anti siphon fitting with a normal barbed fitting. Fuel pump picked up and primed no issues so I...

    It sounds like wailing a block of wood with a sledge once. Honestly maybe something floating in the water both times?

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    The final line? 68 working days to launch and 33 gallons of resin. 5 sheets of half inch ply, 4 3/4. 35 yards of 1708, 15 yards of CSM. 13 gallons of foam, 30 lbs of milled fibers, 12 lbs of cabosil. A lot of elbow grease and a smile that can't be contained. :LOL: I haven't finished the cost...
