Beauty, let me know if you’re up in the Bay! It would be great to connect

Thanks those seem to be the typical brands. I’ll check what I have this weekend. I saw a couple of those helpful vids and saw some similars threads on tabs too. Appreciate your help

Have you put it in for the season yet? If it’s still on the hard you can probably do some diagnostics. Couple things - if there isn’t a spot of leakage below the waterline, it could be there’s a little intrusion from the top. Over time could cause water seeping in. I think the real damage could...

Nice work

You definitely could be right... They didn’t white out the registration numbers on this one and looks like 2019 last sticker, so been sitting a year and a half which wouldn’t be too bad.

Per usual, a wealth of knowledge on this site

I messaged this just for the heck of it but also flagged as a scam https://modesto.craigslist.org/boa/d/modesto-1993-boston-whaler-15-dauntless/7309130765.html

Agree with pvc frame underneath the cover to support and take pressure off the antenna

Lots of scams on CL these days so see it in person or get a local survey before even a deposit.

Mine came with a 4 blade prop on it for the ocean. Also came with a 3 blade for lake Tahoe (I don’t have the towing capacity to get it there) and another 3 blade spare prop

I was surprised when someone told me Facebook marketplace was better than Craigslist or boat trader but I’ve found it can be the case

Hi there - the only thing that doesn’t work on my old overnighter is the gauge for the trim tabs - the trim tabs themselves work, just the gauge on the dashboard doesn’t work. This is also the first boat I’ve ever had with trim tabs, and I understand the overall concept but If anyone has advice...

Ahh yes - by moss green I thought he meant algae growth. It’s likely the green colored primer

My ‘84 was $8500 with trailer that needs work. I added a kicker motor for $700. My trailer will need approx $2k to get up to par. Everything on the boat works - lights, bilge pump, etc. engine was redone new in ‘02 with 1300 hours when I got it. That’s in SF mind you, so more expensive than most...

You’ll want to prep the surface as best you can. Sand down to aluminum. Wipe with acetone. Use a good primer, I’ve used zinc chromate on aluminum. It’s been banned in many states, but I think I found it on Amazon or eBay cheap and someone shipped it to me.

For that long of distance you’ll want dual axle with good quality stainless brakes like Kodiak brand. Assume you looking for a new trailer? I’d shop around and get a sense of lead-time - many manufacturers might take a few months with recent demand and supply chain issues. see recent thread...

Beauty, congrats! I think Smoky might be onto it with the 4 blade prop. Regardless I’m sure you’ll enjoy! I’m in SF/San Rafael

Teak wood is really hard wood and will withstand the elements, it just gets weathered after a couple years. I’m varnishing all the teak on my sailboat - takes a long time, but looks really nice and I don’t like halfassing things so I take the time to try to get a decent result. Might sound...

Probably just not the best quality varnish, or not enough coats applied. Sun UV does the damage, but also humidity causes the teak to expand and shrink. ask locals at the dock the best varnish to use. I use epifanes referenced in the link below. 7-10 coats. Don’t skip the prep work to get a...

Couldn’t agree more. In 24 hrs from OP
