Re: New boat from elsewhere
It looks like 3/16" zip ties will be my go to size, spaced and tightened a little as I go. I was also considering the little pieces of PVC pipe to help with alignment. I saw that on a video and that looks like a nice little trick to help things go together. My boat will have fiber glass on the...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
Cameras are not related to Cerbo. They are Reolink and I wish they had a zoom feature.

Re: Lithium Retrofit
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...

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

Re: Post server upgrade forum config changes.
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...

Re: GT23
I'm an expert user at this point with 350 gallons of use.
I'd never use fast for neatcoatinf a 23' bottom.
Good luck. I thing you need to buy the ablative before you prime. They are strict about hours after primer, ftmp.

Re: Lithium Retrofit
Tell us a little more about Lake Clarke, how close it is to any salmon fishing, what kind of fishing is there and the price for renting the boat for a week or 5 days, etc.

Re: GT23
I can't go along with no primer. Even a single primer coat is like a sticky coat. The primer sticks to even slightly unsanded epoxy (think low spots). Then the ablative will also stick better to the primer than sanded epoxy. Ablatives are almost always applied before the primer cures fully (read dir...

Re: Calculating Wt & Bal on a new restoration boat
You'd make a plywood or timber jig. start by laying two long timbers like 2x4 or 2x8s parallel to the right side up boat and even with dwl or so on each side... Then screw another 2x across those two. These are the feet. Then you need some uprights. They will be screwed to the crossmember and will g...

Re: repairing gap in keel/hull
The gap is caused by too much emphasis or pressure on the forward jig, no? If the panels go up; they part and down they close, no? If you indeed cut too much away from the panels, then you can just make some ply slivers and stitch them in and keep some margin to allow for cabosil. But I kinda think ...
