I need to put bottom paint on my boats hull. It has never had bottom paint on it before. I would like to use white paint if possible. The boat will be slipped for the entire season. What would be the best approach? What brand should I use? I am assuming I will most likely prep the surface by sanding and then appling a barrier coat then the final coat.
I did it. Boat and trailer. Trailer was made in the US. Duty free. Rolled right out without a problem. Saved a bunch of money with the conversion at the time too.
I got a new ride so I no longer need these parts. These parts are for a 1996 volvo penta 5.0 ford block carburated engine.
BID (breakerless induction distributer) trigger. Mechanic replaced it thinking it was bad with a new one that was $300.00 plus. Was not the problem. This one is used but perfect working order. I kept it in the boat just in case. (make me an offer)
Water impeller is new and was kept in the boat as a backup also. I have the box and papers to go with it. Free to someone who can use it. I will upload some pictures of both parts later.
Bringley, I have a camp right in Levanna. Which is on the East side. Lots of divers there. We go up and stay at the camp during the late season. Let me know if you need a place to stay. I would love to see how you do it. I saw a couple guys up there this year in layout rigs and they were laying the smack down.
AWESOME! What body of water? We did a bunch of shooting on Cayuga Lake this year and had a good time. Loads of Goldeneyes and redheads and some broadbills flying. Next year I want to do the layout boat thing. I think I have the stones now.
I am still trying to figure out exactly how my onboard charger and all the other switches work together. I understand how the battery selectors work but dont understand the four small switches attached to the blue electrical box. I gues it is to further isolate electonics? Maybe some of you guys can shed some light on it for me. It is a twin configuration. It is a new to me ride and I have no time on the water with her yet to try to figure it out.
Yankee, I have to admit those crocs are comfortable. I would wear a pair on a boat out of comfort and necessity, but wouldnt be caught dead anywear else in them. Those other things are just weird man.
I am with you Billy. Bring it on! I will be blasting ducks in the heart of it. Doublehaul, if I wore pj's I would wear them inside out to help increase the odds of a snow day. I have my wife somewhat convinced that there is only one sure way to get a snow day
Hey Yankee, how do you terminate the power pro to your speed/depth probe? Same way as with the cable? It seems like it would be more forgiving using the Power Pro. I use 12 pound balls and am always nervous about losing my probe. Even using the clincher terminal.
Be careful! I took my first slamon trip a few years back out of Sandy Pond. Thats when I caught my first Lake salmon. I have had three boats since then and have hidden more expenses from my wife than you can imagine. Its funny when she comes out on the boat and looks at new stuff with a puzzled look in her eyes. All good advice has already been given above, just be prepared to catch a serious fever!
