The salmon are feeding, but you'd have to be one sik effer to go out in this to try to land one. The longer term forecast is...

Re: Mast Light

I'm using the factory set-up. It works well enough that I'm not gonna mess with it.

I'm sure someone here has a pic of one if you are unsure what they look like.

Re: Rebording ladder

We had one like the ladder Jamie posted on the '77 F-32 that was around when I was a kid. The problem with it was that for boarding the platform from the water only a small amout of the fold down section actually reached the lake. I think the style scott posted on his Silverton probably does a bit b...

Re: Black Water Holding Tank

I think I'd only like it better if it had stock Merc valve covers. I like the nod to Chevy, but you can get a Chavelle to put those on. Good guess on the engine, the block is actually a 350 from a '69 Chevelle. Tough casting. HOGWASH!!!! Its a Merc! :D (or it is now, and I mean that in the nicest w...

Re: Black Water Holding Tank

Not sure, but I may have noticed a spec of dirt in that engine room ...... then again I dunno about that, but that sure is one pretty Merc 228. The lustre of the black paint is just breathtaking.

Re: What color to paint your boat ?

Painting your hull Paul? I like Alexseal, but there are other comparable products. Have you come to an opinion about color yet? I like that flag blue on landv's boat. Black might be ok, or a dark green. Maybe you could get Jeff to help you paint it. From what I understand he is an expert painter. Do...

Re: 12V Lithium Ion Batteries

I agree there maybe some problems if your killing AGM batteries in 2 years . I get over 2x that on wet cell lead acid batteries. +1. Thats way too soon to be replacing batteries. My wet cells are going on 3 years old on the house bank, and the Stbd. is the one Nancy put in there in '09. Must be a c...

Re: Any Thoughts On Painting/Dying Headliner?

Is the headliner a vinyl or fabric? If it is vinyl, you can paint it. I did the headliner in one of the staterooms in a 46' MY that I used to own. I used spray can paint that was made for car upholstery. It looked good and it did not fill in the ventilation holes. I did a lot of spray painting insi...

Re: Removing the lower helm from an f32

Very true it is a selling point .Every one wants a lower helm till they have one :wink: Except for me, who would never by an F series without one, as I rarely get on the bridge unless its dark out or I have guests on board. Part of that is due to the fact that I keep the covers on the bridge helm s...
