Art, your 58 doesn't have limber holes on either side of the keel plate at every frame? You sure that's not just some Black Beauty that hardened...
Oh, and the silver hull coating is a tar-like substance called (help me out Bill) bitumen that was painted silver after it was applied. It's...
Hi, and welcome to the forum! Sounds like a good place to start, if you ask me. In the pix here, there could easily be small limber holes...
Yeah, wooden boats are great but you gotta be in love with 'em. Great liveaboards.
Nice pix! There are a lot of similarities between the big Roamer you've got and my 52' 1967 Connie.
If a replacement starter isn't readily available or inexpensive, check out White Armature up in Springbrookg WI. They did a beautiful job...
"recommends replace of steel water tank that is not leaking to a plas. tank," Sounds like typical surveyor BS. If there's no problem with the...
Agreed, with the exception of the holes in the bottom of the tray (10.7.2 requires electrolyte containment). It would also be interesting to test...
I suppose ABYC E-10-7 (http://www.marinesurveyorschool.org/download_files/seminar_files/StorageBatteries0001.pdf) is as good a place to start as...
Sliding trays...I can imagine the convenience but think it would be challenging finding a surveyor who'd sign off on it. On the other side of the...
This is what the mufflers look like on gas boats: [IMG] [IMG] And here's the rot problem I had with mine: [IMG]
How about a pic of where yours are now, as well as shots of the ER? If your genny's forward of the port engine and your AC units are forward of...
I also couldn't help but chuckle at the ad for this boat: "It is turn key with no issues." uh huh. lol
erikgreen, I'm the guy doing the keel up rebuild of a 46' Roamer. The steel "suitcase" mufflers on these all rot out. If somebody had one with...
Excellent. :-)
I've had paint, gelcoat, and pieces of my boat come off when I tried to debond cleats and other hardware that the PO bedded in 5200. But...
I would say absolutely yes. I'm partial to sikaflex 291 though recently I've been trying out 721 for its improved UV characteristics. The...
yachtsmanbill might disagree, but I would never use 5200 on a boat. There are plenty of other options for sealants that do as good a job as 5200,...
That's cheap! What's the name of the battery store? Also, Outback inverter/chargers come in 32vdc configuration. That's what I would go with.
acellist, I'll bring the boards up from SoMD this weekend. Battery acid does startlingly bad things to aluminum, as you know. I hope you were...
