Bill, When you are at Best Buy check out the decks
that the IPOD can plug right into. Also check out boss
marnie.com they have great stuff for the price and
it is built for the weather. Good luck
Bar keeper's friend. It's a in a can. Buy it at walmart
in the cleaning section. If that stuff does not clean it nothing
will. WORKS GREAT!!! I second the magic easer works good.
Yeah, It's funny when it's time to do the work nobodys
around. But, the first really nice day and all your friends are
waiting at the dock wanting to go out.
Another thing... I think we have a class action law suit against
all the boat manufactors. It seems they leave out all the WORK
that goes into the boating thing. All you see is the the people crusing
down the lake with the wind in their hair and smiles on their faces.
They don't tell you it's going to cost you $560.00 to fill up the boat at $4.00
a gallon and you are going to get mile a gallon.
Oh, well. Some bottom paint to do and then hopefully we are going to splash
her for the season. GOTA TO LOVE IT
Pat, I was thinking about putting the wax on and
leaving it on all winter and then buffing it off in the spring. What
do you think??? I was thinking the dirt would not be
as bad in the spring.
I Hear you. Me and the girlfriend just finshed the hull
on Sunday. We use 3m cleaner wax buff that stuff off
wipe the boat down and then apply flagship wax on top of
that. It's the only time we don't wish to have a bigger boat.
Hey guys. I got merc 4.6's in my boat. I spun a
impeller two seasons ago. I had the impeller and
the water pump replaced on the port engine. I ran
the boat no more than 20 hours and the same thing
happens. Smoked another impeller on the same engine.
Now. The question is... Are marine water pumps the same as one
you put on a truck.The marine water pump is $170.00 and the "auto
water pump" is $40.00 They look the same when you put them
side by side and all the holes match up. To replace the impeller
you have to pull the boat out of the water and drop the lower unit
and with it being a
30 footer it gets expensive to keep pulling it out.
Thanks guys for your help.

You may also want to check out most carpet
places for outdoor carpeting. Thats where I got mine.
You can find almost any color and no, I 'm not talking
about the " Fake green grass stuff".
FISHINMAN,Ask how it will breathe. With the vinal backing will
the moisture be albe to get out of the boat when the boat is
buttoned up. Just something to think about. Hate to come down
and the inside is "WET" and mold may start to grow.
He is in Glen harbor Marina. I think he rents a
space there. Like I said well worth it. You may
want to call him early because he gets busy. But
the turn around is very quick.
If your down this way around late April I'll have
my boat in the water down in the Montour Marina
You can stop down and check out the work. I'll show
you some little tricks Keith did for when you get caught
out in the rain where you can see without getting totally
soaked.
If you are talking about Keith in Watkins Glen. He
is worth every penny. I have a 30 footer and he
made a camper back with zip out curtins with zip
in screens. Matching hatch covers and the whole
9 yards.
