Re: Just needs fdinishing
Currently Tapped out. Nice boat though. in it for another 60 to 70 thousand dollars and a few months work. Add another 10 to 15 Gs for the big trailer to hull the beast around. Chaps you will be required to build a bigger shed. In for the copper penny in for the Building. You can still convert to Ou...

Re: Hull Corrosion on 2010 Hewescraft 220 Ocean Pro
No Bronze wool pads Should be Used. Red Scotch brite is course, green is medium, White is fine, This is what you should use to help clean. Kevin has also recommended heating the area prior to applying the acid. The Coarser you use requires more polishing to restore to a shine.. If you rubb for and a...

Re: Hull Corrosion on 2010 Hewescraft 220 Ocean Pro
Thank you Goatram! When I first used the Sharkhide brand aluminum cleaner, I did not tape anything off as the owner said it would not effect the plastic decal above the metal that I was treating. Obviously the Zep-a-lume is much stronger so you are recommending taping off areas that I don't want th...

Your sides are not that bad. Pull the floors this winter and remove the foam. Then Wash the inside with the Acid as Kevin recommends as well as the outside. Use your PPE, If you work at Uncle Bills sign out a respirator then return it when your done, The Blue Green Gloves work well; use rubber bands...

Re: replacing springs, and flipping the axle
I have 3 Dexter 3500 lb Torsion Bar axles in the yard. Too bad ya don't live closer. Gypsea has a good Idea to see how much movement is at your springs and frame. A rubber dohiki between the frame and the axle might cushion the bumps a little. A torsion Axle bolts right to the frame and then you can...

Your crew will fall asleep fast. The bump and grind of a long trip will be softened by the Bags. I only got to sit in mine once. all the other times I am at the helm and some SOB else gets to sit in it.

Re: Is etching necessary on a new hull?
In the States it is required for boats 20' and under. I am completely comfortable not having Flotation on current boat and on my old 21' Northriver. If the Boat sinks I don't want her back.
