What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Stizzla]

Checked on it after the last storm, still floating. Hoping I can get some trees knocked down in my yard so I can bring her home for a while but the storm damage pushed the tree guys back a bit

I just took a tree down and trimmed the others up a bunch to get my boat back from a fantastic member who has let me store it at his property after my neighbor narked me out to the municipality. Instead of a nice metal shed as planned now the old bag will get to look at a blue tarp.

I’ve been wanting to do this for a few years! You get it done. Where did you get the EVA?

Amazon,quick and easy.I also use a spray adhesive to be sure it sticks well,probably don't need to most of the time.

What will you be finishing the teak with?
Have you tried Osmo finishes? My brother swears by them, says they are the most attractive and durable available. He made my wife and I a set of walnut chopsticks about 6 years ago, finished in Osmo. We use them very regularly, hand wash to clean and the finish hasn’t budged at all in that time.

Probably hygloss varnish,I like shiny finish . The teak is all inside the cabin,none outside.

You do great work Rayvon. Not sure I am going to be able to afford your boat when you're finished with it if you keep this up.

Decided I wanted to protect my fibreglass gunwales when setting and retrieving crab traps. Looked at different materials and decided to go with wood (western red cedar) rather than HDPE, stainless steel or rubber as it was quicker and easier. Used linseed oil for the finish and to provide some protection from saltwater. There are some wood shims to make it snug. Idea is simple, it just drops onto the gunwale, the fitting was a little bit trickier. Plastic rail is where the traps slide.

Beautiful motors! Congrats

I was going to go 200s but same displacement, nèed higher octane, and no real power difference until the 5000 rpm range. Also quite a bit more money.

Did you go with the 25 high thrust kicker?

 

[Samnjoe]

Did you go with the 25 high thrust kicker?

9.9 high thrust. My old T8 worked plus didn't need the extra weight. Boat is already starboard heavy

Hung these 300s on last month. Pretty well the same performance as the 225 Seapro. Couple mile an hour more top end but otherwise the same performance and mileage.
Went up in pitch to a 19 eco but it was unhappy spinning 2950rpm at 26mph so I swapped back to the 18 eco props I ran on the last set.

Well it is more than this week. More likely many weeks. Ohhhh .... The joys of inboards... Yeah I know....pod it. Bearings around the primary drive shift are being replaced as well as a major refresh to the motor.
Luckily I'm a retired guy with time on my hands and a place to work.
