Just because I haven't seen the addressed.
Are you calibrating the compass on the water underway?

Welder

Thanks for the ideas! I did talk to the manufacture and they said anything i do to fix the frame would just be a band aide and would happen again sooner or later. Bottom Liine was they were more interested in selling me a new trailer. I would be a little pissed off about that. Not going into detail...

Just a guess, that cross brace is holding the bulk of the hull weight and only has 2 bolts on each side holding it in place. If so and as fun as it does not sound. I would through bolt the inside of the I beam to the cross beam. Then jack up the front bunks some to help even the weight out. If those...

I might be interested in a change up for a few months at a time. It would have to be in the summer.
I would stay a Fl resident, I'm not sure how that would go over with state rules and regulations.

Interesting.

Am I assuming wrong that you want to solar power this cooler on board?
The sailing community should have this application dialed in.

I don't know much of anything about 12v coolers.
I will say this I want as few electric gadgets on a boat as possible.

What is your need for a power cooler that ice can't take care of?

Welcome.

May I suggest self adjusting rear air bags if hauling with that pick up regularly, or possibly manual air shocks for trips like this.

kmorin touched on the scale/scope/quality.
Having a new boat built you can discuss fit and finish in negotiations with the builder.

Looks great.

I'm having a hard time finding this in a shareable code.

I would like to be able to post it in other places. Thanks.

The Lincoln turned out to be a wire feed problem, this post was the shining moment of the machine working properly. Thanks again.

I never welded with a Miller 350P I do weld rather well with my millermatic 251.
If we could make this mean red machine weld well http://aluminumalloyboats.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4473
I don't see why we couldn't make a blue one work too.

I do custom work if you could come to me that would be great.
This might be who you are looking for http://www.atlantictowers.com/
Give it a shot.

Sadly, I never got around to doing this simple test.

My bender reservoir is holding up great.

Solutions, This'll happen.

I don't have any Simple Green. I always have lacquer thinner in the shop. I might make some test trays, it does have my interest. But lazy will most likely win. One of the 1st places I worked a guy was making a drop in roof pan for a van that couldn't leak. He kept taking the box outside and filling...

I can't feel or see pitting, I'll assume it's just discoloration.
As far as tests go they will have to wait, the pipe bender is going back together.

Thanks, every time you post I learn something.

I'm replacing the cracked plastic tank on my hydraulic bender. I cut, DA'd, welded and filled the bottom 5 pieces of 1/8" aluminum with water last night. i come in today to check for leaks and dump the water to find what looks like the start of pitting. It is city water. I wasn't expecting to see th...

I still haven't been much for taking pictures. Mostly repair since moving. I have bent 1" x 1.5" and 2" oval with the 3/4" pipe dies up to 90° making tower steps. I have never tried bending 3" or 4" oval. I saw a picture of Jettys boat with a half top on facebook. I was thinking a T-top would be a m...

Feels like I should start over it's been so long. 1st WTF did Jettywolf do to his boat? I'm still doing the boat T-top and tower work. Had to relocate my shop from Sanford Fl and I moved to a small airport hangar in Edgewater Fl. Last shop was 25'x100' with a 13'wX14'tall door new shop is 50'x50' wi...

So I'm selling R of the RIB and a decent steel painted trailer .
I guess it's 16' OA inflated.

Is it worth repairing the inflatable or getting a new inflatable for the hull.
It is leaking at the seems.
