If you pop a bubble you know fast enough, but my guess would be that the surface wasn't prepped well enough.
Good trouble shooting and get home repair. Sounds like you're on the right track. Check both exhausts end to end. Ran into the same problems on...
Acetone is pretty strong stuff. Would it not be better to try bleach first?
Call me a skeptic, but before I pay 5K to replace I'd be getting a 2nd opinion.
Forgot to mention, the blisters could be as little as a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands, and could leave the boat out of the water...
Back in the early 90's they had hydroplane races in front of Bahia Mar. 160 mph heading for a hairpin turn at each end. Spectator boats maybe...
Nice boat. Light and fairly quick. It can handle 3'-4' fine. You won't enjoy 6'. Keep in mine it's a convertible, not a SF.
Actually the shore line, along with the vegetation and wildlife that lives there get washed out by the wakes. At least in the populated places...
Actually the ICW was intended for commercial navigation.
Boaters who want to buzz around vs, homeowners who pay taxes there. Wonder who has the most clout. Hmmmm.:rolleyes: Sounds like a done deal.
That's the problem and why boaters will balk at paying another tax/fee. It won't go toward this. It'll go into the general (slush) fund....
Isn't that exactly the problem. The consequences are that you get a big bill if caught and the taxpayers get the bill if you don't or if you're...
Isn't it more fair for people to pay to dispose of their own. DK how someone who maintains a million dollar vessels will feel about paying more...
That would mean getting 50 states and a few countries to mandate insurance coverage and then enforce it. Not too likely. Can't even get that...
Good that there's ways to keep people honest, but there's still the problem of what you do when a buyer can no longer be found. You're the last...
Before you try that bottle jack keep in mind that along with bending the frame up (or maybe it'll end up being down) you're bending the...
Most boats in the PNW are designed for that environment (lower helm stations, etc to extend their season), but if you go south down the coast...
Their reputation for doing quality work is good, but we pulled a nearly $100K job from them when we waited and waited for work to begin. Get a...
That's good advice on the South Bay strainer. They were designed to block eel grass, but keep out all sorts of stuff that'll clog, and while...
I'm sure they do. I wouldn't, except for something very special. There are a lot of boats on the west coast. Sure you'll pay more just as you...
