I repacked my shaft nut and it took 1/4". It's a 1" shaft.

Better yet...

A co-worker emailed this to me: Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations. The good news is that I truly outdid myself this year. The bad news is that I had to take them down after only two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But...

I'm back in the water!!! $450 just for haul out, power wash, 14 days on the hard, 2 of which I got for free, and launch. Ouch!! That was the most expensive part of the whole project. I still need to finish up the galley rebuild and finish putting the head back in but all that can be done in the slip...

Larry,
Here are some pictures of some F26's where the front cabin windows have been removed. I make it a point to save pictures of F26's that have mods to them.

I don't endorse this in anyway but I thought it was interesting and might give you some ideas. See link below. http://www.shareaproject.com/pages/projectTut,p,386,00.html Something to consider... Do you plan on standing on the hard top or is it just for an enclosure proposes? Also, you might want to...

Well I glassed over the exterior stress cracks and started foaming inbetween the hulls. I added some pictures... That foam goes everywhere, I still need to clean that up. I used 4 lb. foam and it appears to be working better than I had hoped. http://s853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Troja...

Well the Paula Sea is out of the water. What i found was the chine had a few cracks in it (that's where the slight leak was) and directly under the once loose stringer that is now reattached there's was some hair line cracks. Once I started grinding the paint off, I found a patch that was done by a ...

I just wanted to bump this post. The old site that I posted the photos to doesn't exist anymore. So I added them to my photo bucket site. And I think someone on here was inquiring about cheap solutions to air condition. http://s853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Trojan%20F26/Door%20Air%20Co...

Hey Paul, Thanks. I think I might haul out at Cobb's instead of Dandy Haven. I need to get out of the water before Thanksgiving and with the way the weather looks and my work load, I don't think I'll be able to get over to your neck of the woods before then. Plus, after this past storm, I'm sure a l...

Well I made some progress after IDA cleared out of here. Applied 5200 under the stiffener. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Trojan%20F26/Trojan%20Galley/IMG00011-20091101-1407.jpg Then used some thickened epoxy and filletted the angle between the stiffener and the hull, then lappe...

Well, the Paula Sea servived the remains of IDA with no damage. People that stayed at the marina during the storm said the water was about 2 1/2 feet over the bulk head during Thursday night's high tide. A little scary. Most of the damage around the marina was canvas and head sails. I heard that the...

These pictures are at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk, VA at about 2:00 pm 11/12/09. High tide isn't expected till around 4 or 5. Doesn't look good. The gang plank is an up hill climb to get to the floating dock. Side walk and bulkheard are just under water. There was just over 3 feet of piling left bef...

Welcome. This sounds like a pretty interesting project. Please keep us up to date. Have you considered using a generator instead of an outboard to provide voltage to the electric motors when you voltage drops on your battery bank? This would elminate a separate propulsion system, i.e. the outboard. ...
