Re: Gangplank for beaching

Balthaus: Over the winter I rescued a 80lb Chow mix that I wasn't planning on keeping..

Re: New Project

So are these the "Nailhead" engines? I'm looking at a boat now with a pair of 401s in it. Been stored indoors for years 20 or so.. Bruce at Lakeland Auto & Marine :) said they are great engines but internal parts are hard to find. Tune up parts are easy. Just curious.

Re: New to Marinette. Made new exterior emblems.

Sweet. I was thinking about using West System Epoxy for that, but then thought just having someone print vinyl would better.. Ended up doing neither. So where are you in Marblehead? Did you buy Elvis's (Ed's) boat?
Enjoy!

Re: 32 sedan improper lay-up for winter storage

Well that's good that the service has been excellent. I think it's good for all of us to know which marinas have good service and which ones do not. Any marina or other business can have a bad service moment, it's how they handle it that counts..

Re: Saltwater suicide?

Just curious about this.. My water inlet has a shut off and a hose hook up. Can you flush the system that way after using in salt water? Im sure it would help, just not sure how much.

Re: Diesel Repower 1989 32' Fisherman

jsutton, you'd be better off just buying my boat. Seriously I think that for what you would spend converting you'd be better off to just purchase a boat that has what you are looking for.
