I have everything demo'd and want to finish the outside of the boat since its lighter now (and I'm a one man operation) and easier to turn over and maneuver around. My question is what can I put on the bottom of a production boat with out grinding down to glass and starting over and I want it to hav...

I've told my friend to park that booger, we went down to his storage and as soon as we opened it up the fuel vapor was crazy. I told him we need to cut the floor and get that tank out of there. He said that he was just going to take it to Transport Boats in Palacios and let them deal with it. I appr...

@Jeff, it is an Explorer he does have a deck cap but the area is small to see into and I am trying to help him and want a good educated guess before we cut the floor out and replace the tank.

Would Aquaplas III be a one and done on the transom of my 1995 204ST Bay Hawk (Gulf Masters, Inc Knoxville, TN)? The transom is currently 2" thick; but I did it before I knew about Bateau, I do remember that the old transom was made of two pieces of 3/4" ply so it is probably not far off. ...

What about on a refurb'd boat? While power washing mine I took off some of the writing and the regs state that it must be legible. Can I contact the Coasties and get another?
