Too pristine an environment to put a "dirty" polluting boat in the water! Where does the brine come from? Is that a salt lake?

I ditched the microwave and converted to tackle storage.

Volt meter and jumper clips.

Ratchet set has a screw and wing nut to keep closed and it sits where my 2-cycle oil tank was.

WD-40. Drain the water out of my tool box, spray everything down and wipe off. Haven’t found toolbox’s the fit hundred my seating that stay dry. May be hose related!

Unlikley you will find them. Even if you did they are probably not in good shape. Ask around for a fiberglass shop that might make on for you. What's wrong with yours? Short of being "missing" you should refinish them.

That looks pretty old to me. Hopefully you have a nearby dealer that stocks this material. Removing it will be a problem too. I stripped mine of before a paint job last summer. Razor blade worked but it hacked the gel coat up. Afterwards someone told me that 3M has a "wheel" that you use in a...

If you haven't tried these they are really great! I go thru a boat pump or two every winter if FL. I swap out on the water when pump fails. Spare pump has connectors on it. So much better than chopping a tywrap and looking around for a replacement. I also tywrap my rods together in the rod...

Flexible pickup tool with claws (not magnetic). Large dental inspection mirror. Set of Craftsman screwdrivers - straight and Philips tiny to large. Set of pliers - needle nose, channel lock, diagonal cutter, slip joint. Wire stripper. Quality crimp tool. Hammer! Copper antisieze, Super Lube...

By the way Boat US towing members get a free West Gold membership. DO NOT renew with WestMarine - renew your Boat US towing. Otherwise you will have two accounts - and pay West for something you already have.

The West 3x, 4x and 5x points are a great deal on items that the manufacturer restricts discounting. West doesn't discount lets say Garmin and all the other online dealers don't either. But West's rewards is a real credit for 12% to 20% back.

A lot of boat building in Maryland. Particularly on the Eastern Shore. Personally I like the fiberglass hardtops. They are heavy but look better. Some of the aluminum shops do a fiberglass skin top. Aluminum frame and 1/8" fiberglass sheet on top and on underside. They are functional but not...

A old hardtop may not be bargain. My hardtop had to be totally refinished last year. 25 years old. I did it myself but if I had to pay someone it would have been cheaper to have a new one built.

Nice looking boat. Add your Vancouver location to your profile)? Microwave is shore power. Most likely fridge is 12 volt. I have a post somewhere here to 12vdc/120vac with automatic switch over. Inexpensive and easy to do. I would not jump in to a complete rewiring. Very big job. Spend the...

Finish sand the outside. Get those curves and flare to transition nice and smooth. Gel coat is cosmetic so don’t worry about sanding thru. Few coats of Interprotect barrier coat then bottom paint. If the battery is in the compartment you need a AGM type that won’t outgas.

Looks good! But you won't know if you "F"ed anything up until end of year inspection. What kind of Doctor Drew? I'm guessing orthopedic surgeon. Those guys know their tools and are awesome carpenters!

I replaced all my above water thru hulls with GemLux stainless. Nice, a little more expensive but they look great. Half of them were "one hand" installs and a few were "blind". I had to pull the refrigerator and work in the hole for three of them "one hand". You need a helper, caulk (I used...

I have blown hoses off faucets when winterizing with air. Keep water in the tank and pump running. Check all sink faucets and hoses underneath and bilge to see if water is coming from that area.
