Not trying to throw Shurhold under the bus, different things for different applications. The "build" of the Dewalt polisher is heads and shoulders above IMHO. The Shurhold is Made in China product with a lot of great public relations videos which are helpful. Buy the wool 7" polisher pad that...

Correct interpretation Dennis, you are the "Kwisatz Haderach" You will have to google that :oops: At any rate, the fix to soft deck plates is pretty straightforward. I had to pull both mine off again to replace fuel tank/lines last summer, and was anxious to button her up. Thanks for the tip...

I used 2 part epoxy and fiberglass mat. One word on the screws and water intrusion on the wood. You can cut wood to avoid screws, or drill the holes and epoxy then re drill where the screws penetrate. For caulk I used GE silicone II almond color. Make sure you tape off for clean caulk lines. I...

Thx LT!

Already have a panel designed at New Wire Marine...How are we gonna pay for it?? ;) Kidding aside Fishtales, I'm trying to play hopscotch with the design and think of what will look good in 5 years. The "carbon fiber" look is so hot right now, but as we all know, it too will someday look dated.

Since my boats newly installed fishfinder takes up the entire electronics box, I decided to mount the VHF Radio on the dash. Found a Grady White radio box on Ebay, and upgraded to a ICOM M605 which filled up the box nicely. Had Boat Outfitters cut me a piece of 1/2" Starboard and switched...

When I lived in Austin, no interest in a boat to fish for bass n catfish on Lake Austin, but fished with guides on Lake Buchanan for Stripers, that was fun n they are good to eat! You might give it a shot sometime....

Bought this: DEWALT Buffer/Polisher, Variable Speed, Soft Start, 7-Inch/9-Inch (DWP849X) To get this....don't be scared of a polisher, the speed is controlled. I like the bigger 7" surface area. I own a Shurhold DA as well, but its not nearly as robust in operation

I'm in airport transit right now BUT there was a post by a fellow member Holokai I believe a few months ago. He added 6 or 9" (can't remember which) with a pedestal extension for whatever it's worth Skunk.

Yes Doc, Rick is doing the work. I'm not worried about the quality of work, as he goes to the flowing tide for a few "pops" most days after work and I can hunt him down lol. He's such a nice person. The Gianola Family is pretty famous, there also was another family member's shop in Sausalito on...

Thanks for all responses, the installer is a cool guy, so it wont be a problem for him to apply sealant to the fasteners. I was a bit surprised he didn't do it to all installs. We have a good deal of aluminum hulls where I live, but for sure mine will be sealed one way or another. I am very...

Those look solid!!

Yea, Thanks wrxhoon, looks like I'm going to break into the piggy bank soon!

Interested in any feedback or thoughts on this.... I'm getting a custom canvas cover made for the back of my boat next month. Fabricator seems excellent as far customer satisfaction, and when I gave him the deposit I asked him if he planned on using caulk/sealant on the undersides of the snap...

You are welcome Kobe, There is one other thing you should do...BREATHE while you are contorted upside down. Seriously, all the blood rushes to the brain, and it's easy to get light headed fast. I honestly was praying I wouldn't pass out in the summer heat when I did work in the bilge. Best not...

Agreed, super job!!

Awesome, Thank you for clarifying that wrxhoon!!

Ky, Price aside, the new style's profile seems a bit more raised than than the black/gold. Is that possibe, hard to tell from the pics. Thx ;)

Koby, I've removed my livewell a bunch of times for various projects. It's not so bad.... Putting down a towel over the lip where the livewell was after you remove it helps save your stomach from scrapes and bruises as you have to hang over deep in the bilge to swap it out. You remove the lid...

Thanks to all, and thanks to Grady White for giving her ample gelcoat thickness to restore :)
