Did you pour in a massive amount of resin around the Tank holders?(PVC) In the other pics I was wondering how they would stay/or be watertight to the areas underneath.

Lookin good!

In your area how hard is it to buy things like s boat or a trailer? I imagine something big like that is expensive because its already there? I realize the duty on these items purchased for import into there.

Great job SADS. Looks a lot better than my boat.

 

[SADS 669]

6 that better not be your boat, I will come over and spank you ha ha.

No gel coat today, risk of rain but ready for it....tomorrow??

 

[SADS 669]

Ram, my boat would cost about 12 to 15 k with an ok engine on it here or in Nassau.....about 1 k for an decent trailer .............with gas being 5.8 dollars a gallon, there are lots of boats and trailers in people's yards, send money I'll send boats ha ha

Sponge,

I would love to answer your post with a humorous response but sadly one or two of the "lurkers" out there have "No sense of humour" and would not get the joke and think I would actually have a hidden compartment .....sigh

Ps it's in the bilge but don't tell the lurkers ha ha.......

Is she strictly sewing or is she using some of that repair tape for canvas? I need to either repair or replace all my canvas as well. Both Bimini and mooring cover.
