I’d say 1/2 is more than adequate really. You can check the breaking strength of the line before you buy it - that makes more of a difference than size. Can use snubbers too to absorb shock if it’s real windy. Larger dock lines sometimes are a pain with smaller cleats at fuel docks or public...

+1 for the BoatUS lettering. Clean and prep the surface area with a little bit of acetone, slap on the decal, and pop a champagne bottle for the naming party

Dennis laid it out pretty well. To do it right is tearing it apart and building it back up with solid material. There’s also various patches that could be done to improve the existing. Like Dennis said you can cut out the ‘skin’ and remove the rotted core area, replace, and then epoxy the skin...

Use painters tape around where you’re using the goo for an easy cleanup when it dries with a utility knife. You can use a popsicle stick’s round edge to create a fillet at the seam to help water runoff.

That carpet would have held moisture, so the soft floor isn’t surprising. I don’t understand why people put carpets in boats tbh

PO maybe just considered 60 more than adequate for the single outboard. Mine is 60. Maybe needed the storage for other things or used for a live well or something else entirely. You could always add in a new aux tank

Depends on how long you plan to keep the boat. I’d not be TOO concerned about it, except that it suggest some water intrusion, which could make its way down to the fuel tank which would be a bigger job if not done in recent history of the boat. It’s not a terrible job if you end up needing to...

I’d try CLR

Only one way to fix it and make it better than new. I’d stick with wood - it adds the charm and easy enough to work with

Smoky - this is AWESOME - thank you for sharing. The primary reason I bought my GW last year is so that I can call my dad and have something fun to talk about (my family is in Boston). COVID year has sucked for a lot of reasons and boating has been more therapeutic for me than anything else for...

Like lucky said all along - it’s about figuring out your comfort level and ocean conditions. Art not a science

Correct

Interesting - more and more streamlining of the boating industry. Big moment for me was when Evinrude was discontinued - staple of the industry for many years. https://www.boatingmag.com/story/boats/evinrude-outboard-engines-discontinued/

Clorox clean up bleach gel - mix w water and use as little as gets the job done

The four blade does have that look to it

Take some pictures when you’re down there next. I’d not give up on it. There’s a section here on blisters. https://www.rotdoctor.com/glass/GLrotrepair.html#deck

Would help if you had a couple better pictures. There’s thruhulls and then scupper drains which are a little different. Look to be above the waterline?

I’d cross post it on Craigslist, fbook marketplace (and this website) pretty high if in no rush to sell. If you went ahead and got a survey for the boat you may be tapping into a wider geographic market, but usually the buyer would bear the cost of a survey. Take a good inventory of what you’re...

Six10 is a thickened epoxy. Like peanut butter kind of consistency so, in essence you need to ‘push’ the epoxy in completely to the void. while it has good bonding qualities, it’s not penetrating epoxy. You may want to use GitRot or CPES penetrating epoxy first then a layer of Six10 as a harder...
