    Removed my hull graphics.

    Jeff, I was the proud owner of a 77 kingfish for twenty years.When I had the boat awlgripped in 99 I made stencils of the logo before I removed it.The decals came out perfect with a little editing at the sign shop.The hooks and font all original.Ironically,they never made it onto the boat !After...

    Refinishing Bulkheads

    Bob, Just throwing it out there,Formica ! On my 77 the bulkheads were covered with viynl,and the results over time were a disaster.Water eventually did its thing within the plywood.So,I removed both panels and traced the pattern onto 3/4" marine plywood.After cutting,I glued up a formica with a...

    Marlin Generator/bilge access...UPDATE W/PICS

    Guys, I found my back deck to be springy.The underside of the hatch was beginning to delaminate.So I added a piece of 1/4 x 2" aluminum angle under the vertical hatch,which allowed me to tap threads and tighten the hatch sufficiently. The whole set up is horrible.I just finished reinstalling...

    Marlin cabin hatch leak

    Guys, Sorry for the misinformation,I should have been more specific!It is the entry way hatch from the deck to the cabin.There are two strips of closed cell weatherstripping between the two flat acrylic panels and this appears to be insufficient,unless the eisenglass is up. I'm just...
