Git Rot Woes
Well, it's been a whole month since posting here last, and, sad to say, not a boating month for me. I discovered some nasty rot in the mahogany decking on the far forward port bow, and have been slowly working at it with Git Rot. That's great stuff, however I wasn't very successful keeping spillage ...

Hi Dennis! It sounds like you have a real beauty there. If I ever go with two-tone bottom side paint, I think I'd go with red. It would be great to see a picture.

Fred, HI! You live in Trojan Country out there in PA. I have a '61 Ski Bee 17' runabout. You may want to also post your questions in the Runabout Group forum. There are a bunch of us with the small Trojans out there, and we usually don't have much in common with the big yachts. That sounds like an i...

Gas Tank Replacement
I did a lot of hunting around last winter for a replacement gas tank for my SkiBee inboard. There are poly tanks out there that are close to the right size and made for vertical installation ("saddle tanks"). I'm thinking about ordering one made by Tempo that retails for around $150. For s...
