Welcome as well

As did I

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, but sometimes all is takes is a garage, a chemist, and a really good idea. Such is the case with FiberRubber®, the brainchild of Alokin Alset, an immigrant from East Europe who was granted US citizenship one year to the day after being granted a pa...

Cheers for a good story again

Looks good Kevin so far.

How to make the Bow have the Carolina Flare of a Clorox Bottle Boat? That would be sweet. And I would Mod My boat this Winter coming. If I could figure that out.

My electrical panel completed and protected. Still need to take a pictures of the 2 ground bus bars. They are sealed in the tan colored wax to prevent corrosion.

Seeing your Brows and the way to design it is two years late Kevin for me. I wanted one on my boat but my welder/friend is /was not a fan of them. My boat is a Glen L Designed "Coronado" "Norwestern". The Hull was purchased by a customer, brought to BMF thinking he could use it a...

Glenn Welcome to AAB :thumbsup: Your right to ask Kevin for some insight. I modified my Northriver; adding a cabin to the existing window frame. It worked but it was not pleasing to the eye. I could live with it but others saw the Ugly in my design. If I could redo I would cut off the original windo...

No I Have two common Ground bars tied together to each other, tied to the batteries, and one cable to the hull. I also have a Galvanic Isolator from Promariner that is tied into the shore power line. http://promariner.com/products/galvanic-isolation/prosafefs-series/ The first bar is near my battery...

A Common Ground tieing all of the Batteries together was the Cause for the VSR not to operate properly. Almost sunk my New Boat due to that issue. I have since corrected the Problem and I now consider the battery switches and VSRs great. They work. The switch issue was due to both my electrition not...

Stripped the boat out they did. Cheap!

Mike what are you doing for seats?
Mark has a few options to think about in Suspension seats

If you are going to leave your boat in the salt all summer are you going to bottom paint? A month in Westport or in the sound you will need to pull the boat and Bleach the hull and wash her bottom clean or you will hate life. Ask Bob @CHAPS about what he has seen of the local boats not protected. :...

Bob Sanding Sucks. face1.jpg face2.jpg face3.jpg My Shop flor is layered in a Fine Black Dust that is near impossible to clean. I went out and picked up a new GREEN Product with Wax instead of oil. Sweeping Compound. When we used it in Aircraft Hangers in the Air Force all it was, was Sawdust and Oi...

Stay on top of them Mike. Take alot of Pictures As well to Document the BUILD_____________________

Congrats

too much Aluminum Dust Sniffing?

My Boat is ok. The below deck thru hull was made from Coldwater. They had it machined with their pipe. Again I learned something. My above the water line thru hulls are 6063 alloy. You did save me from putting in the new one. Thank-you :beer: She has sat in the water now for 10 months so far since n...

Thanks Kevin. I did not know that. Looks like I have another mod to do. Glad it is only one so far

I have used all of those. My Current Boat has one thru hull currently and it is a piece of threaded 6063 schedule 40 pipe with a backing plate that is welded to the inside of my boat with the pipe welded to the outside as well. the seacock you have a picture of is what I use. 1.5" diameter thru...

Well had a minor set back that is now corrected. In the process of moving/relocating my battery switch panel, I was removing extra battery cable. I found the copper wires of my cables black with corrosion not bright copper. Back in time around Thanksgiving my Port engine would not start. After verif...

A friends North river polished in my shop. About 40 hrs total spent.

After two months under the Carport I devoluped flowers as well. I will clean them up after I am done in the shop. This past Summer had no issues at all. Left it alone for a two months under cover and stuff happens

Preliminary photos of the aft starboard corner downrigger mount. I drilled two 3.5" holes thru the funnel to run the battery cables thru. 29'build500.jpg 29'build501.jpg This will be the Inboard hatch cover. I have made 4 covers to close of the DR mounts. The other 3 mounts will be tackle stora...

Russ Glad to see your Busy again. Need to show pictures of the 36fter painted green when she's done and ready for a cruise.

Patrick's boat is sweet. I will finally pay for a tuna trip on his boat instead of mine.

I will be there first weekend both days and then Friday and Saturday.
