Nah, Waiting on the last stripe color to dry so I can untape and see what I got. Basically it's goofing on the `puter or watching paint dry. I gotta get another job or another SF to work on.

Is it safe for me to assume that the empty Miller Lite can, in the trailer 5 boat picture, was left from the construction of the trailer and not the sailing event? Harry

Sorry for misdirecting the question to the wrong person. Kent, thanks for the advice and I had followed the prep and application as you except for using a fine foam roller for cabinet doors (that I liked). I will wait about six weeks to see if wax is needed. Right now I'm waiting a couple of...

Clark (or anyone), I've read and followed your progress on this project. I see where you only mentioned sanding with 120 grit but with a finish like that it must have gone finer! Did you use anything to "knock down" the final coat? I have put two coats of Rustoleum Marine Coating primer...

Thanks for posting the pictures Alan. I have several bronze thru hull fittings here and wanted to know what the original looked like to see if I can retro something to fit. Seems to me that the metal would hold up better, than the plastic on the outside of the hull. Harry

Does anyone have a picture of the old metal style (below hull and in cockpit?) I'm thinkin'....

I am presently in the process of restoring a 1973 with a full compliment of spider cracks, chips, dings and whatnot. All are cosmetic and do not appear to be structural. I am currently putting the second coat of finish paint on the hull before flipping to start the deck. My approach was as...

Sailcrafti, You have an e-mail. Thanx! Harry

Thanks Tag. I have some time so I'll wait & see if they (or anyone else) may have some stock new or used.

Thanks L&VW. I'll take a look thru the APS website. I have read thru 50 pages here and although no mention of the bailer ball, I did learn a multitude of other useful information. I keep you posted on the repairs. Today I will start sanding the bottom in prep for a new (to me) product "System...

I am fairly new here and even newer at sailing. I recently purchased a 1972 fish that needs some attention. After I flipped it over in the garage last week, I noticed that the clamshell for the cockpit bailer had the tip broken off and the ball is no longer there. I can fix the clamshell but I...

I knew what they were when I saw all the little beer cans scattered around the tiller!

Anybody ever heard of "Borer Bees"? It appears they bored a 1/4" by 2" hole down thru the tiller handle where the extension meets at the pivot hole! While re-finishing the rudder assembly the tiller let loose while hanging by the pivot hole to dry. I am now 2"+/- short on the tiller arm. Oh...

I have a rather enormous noggin. Hats are hard to come by.

Thanx O.F. I tip my can of Ensure to ya'. Harry
