Discussion of boats, general boating questions and anything else directly related to a boat or an engine. Designed initially as a safer beach launching vessel, the Profile Boats range has developed to provide craft from family recreation. Explore Profile Boats, New Zealand's premier manufacturer of aluminum chamber boats. Our vessels offer unparalleled safety, performance, and durability for family recreation, diving, and offshore fishing. Currently the boat has 99% of the existing paint on it, a few spots are bare aluminum from scratches and what not. I’ve began feathering out any scratches to make the surface flush and once feathered I have used a vinegar/water mix following by some etching primer out of a spray can. I picked up a project boat a few days ago, okay maybe more than a few. Back when I first signed up.LOL (Let the wise cracks begin) I?ve been a little busy. Anyway, has anyone used a spray or roll on bed liner to coat the inside of an aluminum boat. My project is a little v-bottom with some...
Re: Pimp My Boat (Little Fishing Boat) this ways my 14 ft Lone Star, 1955 15 hp rude. i put stick steering and remote at the center seat of single fishing, 3 seats, battery under front seat. was a real pleasant boat. fast and fun to run. Re: Boat taking on water Have you ran it and looked at all hoses etc? If it's not bellows, and it takes on water while on muffs, it certainly sounds like an engine cooling system issue. Hose, manifold (s), thermostat housing, fuel cooler (not sure on 4.3) etc. I think I'll move this to the Merc I/O section. Not sure how water entering hull on muffs could not be engine/drive related. This ... Your travels at MKE begin before the ticket counter.

I don't want an electrical field emanating from my aluminum boat. How would you suggest creating an isolated bonding and ground plane for my boat? Is it necessary (goal is to protect boat)? Do agree battery negative should NOT be connected to the boat? A boat should leave the factory ready to operate. The marina shouldn't have to cover for doral's incompetence. When it was delivered from Doral the wiper motor was broke as well. Why do you think it is ok for them to build boats like that and then its the dealers problem. Bottom line is Doral screwed up the exhaust riser height and they are at ... Re: Homemade boat cover bows / poles I needed to raise the stern part of the cover a couple feet, so I buil;t a frame back there: put 2' long pieces of broomstick in the rod holders, then got a piece of 2" PVC the width of the boat, and put a 90* bend in each end to fit over the sticks. Held the cover up enough to shed water. Re: Plug on the inside or outside of the boat? You've got to remember that most boat's plugs cannot be easily reached from the inside. The advantage though to inside is you can literally use it to get water out . . . With a boat on plane water will rush out of the drain hole, so if you have a leak or take on a lot of water in a small boat without a bilge pump you can get her on a slow plane ...

I wish more of those good deals on boats there on ebay were a little closer to me. I live on the Idaho/Oregon border about an hour west of Boise ID. boat prices here seam to be going nuts unless you have a 21+ ft anything. We are in the middle of no where to use a big boat. Thanks ... The List -- Past and Present Boat Builders | River Daves Place Re: Moving a boat with a Lawnmower? My old boat i had was a 14' bayliner, i'm guessing around 1,000 lbs. I used to move it around my paved driveway with an old, small 8 or 10hp riding lawnmower. It worked fine in low gear, but then again it was a small boat. It was a funny sight, but very maneuverable. I would sugguest something a little bigger and heavier for your situation, since you will be ... Re: Best starter boat for the Chesapeake? I just bought a 19'11 CC from Polar and love it. I like to fish but our boat choice also needed to be something for family enjoyment such as pulling the kids around on a tube and skis. The Polar turned out to be our choice since it is a nice boat for fishing which easily converts for family enjoyment with a deck sunpad. CC also provides adequate ... Re: boat in my driveway??? Around here it?s pretty common for communities or homeowners associations to have covenants against storing a boat on your property. There are no local laws against it but the agreement not to store a boat is written into your deed. Check with your homeowners association for such covenants and if they don?t exist I?d fight it in court. Plug on the inside or outside of the boat? - iboats Boating Forums
