I didn't know this about fuel l...

Re: Cape Man's Dory

Great pictures Capeman, I was born and raised in Utah and it is beautiful country. The winters just got to me finally and I moved out. I still try to make 1 or 2 trips to Utah each year as I really miss the beauty. But don't miss the evening mosquitos. Have a great trip and be safe. Keep the picture...

Re: FL14 in Wyoming (+10%)

george,
Your kids are growing up fast. They were small when you built the first FL
Nice looking family, and boat is coming along nice.
I love Wyoming but hate the cold so for now I'll stay in Arizona.
I still get cold when thinking about the times working in Rock Springs during the winter.

Re: Painting aluminum

I've had good luck with this:
Moeller Zinc Chromate Primer
I'm only in fresh water but I repainted my pontoon aluminum and used this first and 5 years later it still looks good.
