My storage home (marina) is getting shaky as to who owns it and what security that there will be in the future. I need a new home on the hard and a good boat hauler to get me there. Any suggest...

Re: updating wiring

Big no, no to use solid conductor wire on a boat. It has to be marine wire, which means that it is silver coated, annealed, stranded wire.

Re: Sunken 32`

I started working on a 1980 28' sedan it was partially gutted, after refinishing the outside I started in the inside. While refinishing the outside I cut hand holes in the walls to loosen the deck cleats and light fixtures. Cutting the hand holes I found that the plywood they covered with vinyl had ...

Re: Door needed

I have looked into the local glass companies and no one can get that extrusion and they don't want to make one that small. This sedan had one sliding door, I will check out eBay. Thanks
