I have developed a few theories about DIY over the years. The "DIY club" certainly has gained a lot of members over the years from people wanting to do something on their own in order to save money, and I am thankful for that. In the long haul however it sometimes ends up costing more than had...

That is going to be a beautiful setup. One of the guys from Amera Cat came into the store a few weeks ago and gave me his card. I was thinking of stopping by to see the place on one of my days off. Are you near Ft. Pierce?

Freedom Hawk Kayaks I was looking at these, thinking that the manufacturer should consider a diving version.

After thirty years of diving, I finally gave the bp/w a try. I'll never go back. I noticed the difference immediately, and was quite surprised honestly. I really didn't think a subtle change could make such a difference. I am still tweaking my strap adjustments and weight/trim, but all in...

Those are great looking boats Nemrod and Kurt. I used to have a Garlick ladder on a boat years ago. Kept forgetting to bring it in. I finally got smart and stole one of those red pony tail bungees from my daughter, put it on a rung of the ladder. Any time I put out the ladder, the bungee...

Very nice work. I have the same problem with the toe kick recess, and have been thinking of a similar solution. Can you elaborate on the aluminum bracket and attachment?

Devilscrowndiver, that plate is awesome.

Have those regs serviced and enjoy them. The only thing I can think of to look out for, is cracking aroung the hose fitting on the plastic second of the Se2.

I have tried the liquid Fleetwax 870 and wasn't too impressed. I do like the paste 885 though, probably one of the better I have used, but hard to apply and I am not sure if it has any UV protection. We applied the Rejex to the dark green hull sides about thirty days ago, and this is by far...

I have really been struggling with the dark green gelcoat on the sides of the boat. We have buffed it four times in two years and wax it regularly. The finish we are using now contains PTEF, and I want to say it is a Starbrite product, but am not sure. We are lucky if it goes 30 days before the...

I think if buying new and you live in Florida, you would have to look at the Dusky. It is not a deep v, but everyone I know that owns one loves the ride and stability combo with this mono hull. It is a very well built machine, factory direct and can be ordered with options and power of...

How big is this boat?

I would think it would take quite a hit to actually pierce a hull, but I have heard of it happening. More likely would be a fitting failure, something many manufacturers don't think too much about it seems. Of the many potential water entry points into the bilge of my boat are two PLASTIC...

Nice boat Nemrod, I really, really like fully foamed hulls. Unfortunately mine is not, but I am going to great lengths within my budget to make her as tight and safe as possible.

Sheesh, I could talk about boats all night. I hope you get the shine on your boat monysavr, I can't think of many things I would rather do than work on my boat, even if it is just trying to get her to shine.

Full enclosure would cost as much as the boat. I think a lot of people think that since you own a boat then you must have money, the truth is because I have a boat I DON"T have money! All kidding aside, a full enclosure is way out of the budget. Right now the boat is facing north, it gets...

I am so tired of buffing and waxing, The only solution we can think of is to build a carport for the boat. Two coats of the PTEF product didn't even last 30 days. Never again a dark colored hull.

OK, that makes sense, but there must be a formula that will give the size of the larger tube to give a direct reading in inches on the smaller tube, no? Do you guys find it difficult to read the u-tube guage with just a single sized tube? How are you positioning your scale? This link...

Again, assuming I am understanding the theory, this is what I have come up with; I will use a 1/4" tubing on one side and a tube with twice the water surface area on the other. I came up with a value of .353DIA for the large side. This way a direct reading in inches can be taken from the 1/4"...

I found this page from Dwyer that confirms the reading. It must be taken as a measurement across both tubes, meaning the reading will be taken from two different places at the same time. Measurement of Pressure With The Manometer The way to overcome this would be to make one side of the...
