Marinette Boat Forum

Have to agree. The lawyers would eat up anything you might get. Use the $$ to buy another nice Marinette! Lots of them out there.

Personally--and living hours away from my marina--i never left her in the water all winter.

I hope you get out of this okay.

Jeff

What you have to watch out for is that the ends of the kayak don't protrude to one side so far that they can smash into a piling. (Ah-hem!)

I would think there's no way can you store them on the swim platform without their getting in the way. You may have to live with that.

Jeff

I would think you could fabricate a simple wooden rack to store them on the swim platform. But upside down since it's hell trying to pour the rainwater out (like trying to dump water out of a tire).

What if the waves are 8 inches high?

(Sorr: couldn't resist!))

Jeff

If you plan to run the heater under way, the exhaust must be located aft--right?

Jeff

Hey, that's not far from where I live. I'll try to take some photos of her.

That's a damn shame!

Concerning that slippery coating, I wrote: "That stuff sounds good enough for me to try it on my kayak."

Scott (nice fellow and a kayaker) replied that the plastic surface of a kayak won't hold paint. Oh well...

Jeff

That stuff sounds good enough for me to try it on my kayak. (I emailed them.)

Not sure about their claim for using on bare aluminum without etching first. That surface layer of aluminum oxide that forms immediately after paint removal is very slippery.
