    1986 190 tournament floor question

    If you choose to use wood cut your core to size and then cut it into small pieces, trowel your putty and place all the pieces in leaving a little space. Spread your putty over the wood pushing it into the little spaces. Follow up with your glass. If you ever have a water problem again it only...

    Dry Tortuga's here we come

    I don't know if everyone has this APP and obviously it would only work in an area with cell. The APP is called Drag Queen---sounds a little sketchy, but works great if you have cell.

    Just took the Grady down to Marathon for the week. Hit the humps getting her into 1200ft of nice blue water. I did have another boat with me as I have a '93 225 Yami (only has 400hrs). Motor didn't like trolling into that massive rip out there and I had to be on the throttle all the time. I...

    plastic wood trim looks lousy

    I'm going to sand prime and paint. I have some Awlcraft left over from my last build. Anything will look better than white haze :bang

    Hardtop Refurb

    Hey guys, I have been plugging away at the Grady but holidays and work have slowed it down. Came across a hard top on a '85 24 Offshore. How different is the mounting compared to my '93 24 explorer? To me it looked like the front mounts are different and may have to be modified. The older Grady...

    Cushion Cleaning Products? (Mildew)

    Correct. I wouldn't use it on anything that still has a finish that you don't want dull. Works great on mildew damage.

    Cushion Cleaning Products? (Mildew)

    Start with a bleach solution to kill it. Later use a magic eraser.

    Loading it up for the long drive home. Sat here overnight and got it down to the Marina before the HOA complained. :-| New Home for now! Yep, this thing is like new. Would like to get some hours out of the old motor before upgrading.

    What to do about stale fuel

    I will be doing this on my new grady. I'm using a pump with a filter to take out of one tank and put it in the other going back and forth. My family has a commercial boat that we have had to do this on. Sometimes you get bad fuel from the fuel truck.

    One step closer! Owens family is still the best. Nice to see people that love what they do!

    I hung out in the barbers chair for awhile. They are so honest. He could have upsold me on the bigger ibeams. I went with the 7k# trailer. Should be done next week. Need to start gathering some items to clean this ride up. I know I'll be doing a vinegar flush on the yami for sure.

    No, it was a couple summers ago. Brakes started sticking and heated up the tire enough to blow the valve stem out. Took the brakes off and drove the rest of the way down. They shipped parts for the return trip. I tested the used market and it sucks. I don't mind a project but people want...

    Had some calipers freeze up down in the keys. They sent them down on our vacation. Can't beat Owens!

    Owens is local for me. He went to high school with my brother and brother in law. They have always done a great job and have created an amazing reputation. My boat will sit on a trailer at a marina with a ramp, but I will make trips to the keys. Maybe one to two times per year. I have a 8...

    Got my quote for the Owens trailer today. Haven't seen much worth looking at in the area. I have 2 options. Both are 7k pound trailers but for an extra $500 I get bigger ibeams. Doesn't seem like it's needed.

    Hey all, I'm sure I will be hanging out over here a lot in the future. I had a 3 year build over on Classicmako.com and have recently got a 24 Explorer. 2 owner boat that was always in a high/dry. Has only been used once or twice a year over the last decade. Looking at trailers right now to...
