Please give us a picture of the transom area to help is make sure we are not missing anything. The intersection of the stringers and knees is vital in transferring loads from transom to hull. You cannot slide puttied panels down into a groove, so stringers must be cut back and repaired to replace a ...

So, your big question is on the glass needed. Always tricky for us to provide you with a soec because we are not composites engineers and someday a person hangs a couple 425hp off the back and blames us for friendly tips when their boat sinks. Tort law makes that possible. Your wood is too light at ...

I installed a Raymarine Axiom 9 and a Furuno tzt12L in the same place. The Raymarine would not pickup GPS with an antenna, so I backfed it with the Furuno data which is flawless thus far, no antenna. The river is too small for me to setup my autopilot full config, but I can run the AP on a small cou...

It sounds awesome, but I'd have a hard time getting 6 people. I want to do salmon and grayling.

I think the submit button taking forever is killing traffic and thus business. I don't agree with it being a network issue on my end. If I hit submit one aecond after the first post; it stops the meter and tells me too soon to post. So, this means the input is already there. And the meter is in some...
