Unfortunately, thats no cheaper than amazon. The problem is that everyone wants you to buy a 24x48 sheet when I don't need 1/4 of it. I was hoping to find some place that would sell a 12x24 sheet.
I am looking for a source of carbon fiber abs sheet or something that looks as good to replace part of my dash. I only need a 6 inch by 18 inch piece.
Amazon has this but its $77 and I only need...
So I have been working on my boat. At first, I tried to do it by hand and realized that was a waste of time. The top picture gives yo an idea of the difference between the original color and the...
I can but I didn't make that much in improvements to significantly lower it
I was wanting to do the exact same thing on my renegade 18. The problem is my dash panel is not nearly large enough. I was thinking about just replacing the upper panel that has the larger gauges, ie...
I am thinking about selling my home. It is my primary residence. I am single and after I take the $250k deduction I will have to pay capitol gains on the remainder if I don't spend it all on a new...
Mine don't have any storage underneath. That would make it easy. I have to somehow bolt mine straight down
Does anyone have good instructions or even better a link to a video on this? I bought a boat that the bucket seats were already removed from and I am wanting to install new ones. The only evidence...
I am not surprised. They weren't all bad but I would not buy a used one today just like I wouldn't buy an optimax made before 2006 for the same reason. When they first came out I really wanted one....
I am probably partially right but it seems like Ficht sunk Evinrudes reputation. They won a bunch of awards for the engineering behind it and then the pain came. The original optimax's were just as...
Just did the same thing recently. First I removed as much as possible with a razor and then used goo gone.
The carpet on my boat is totally trashed and needs to be replaced. I have been going back and forth as to whether I should just re-carpet or use something like hydroturf or seadek. I have been...
I wasn't singling you out by the way. I have heard others say to start with 600. Some say 1000. I am sure there is a debate about it out there somewhere by the people who do it for a living. The...
I have a renegade 18 that I am restoring. It has a johnson 150 which is the max recommended horsepower for the boat. It has a 4 blade prop on it, no jack plate, and no hotfoot. I am contemplating...
You start at 220? I was going to start with 400 which allot of people think is too coarse but my boat is really bad and I saw a video of someone using 400 on their boat that was really badly...
I bought a used 2000 Renegade 18 recently. I went to register the boat recently and and I got a notice back from TWRA saying that I successfully registered my boat made by Ojigwan Marine LLC which...
I am restoring a 2000 Javelin Renegade 18 and I have a couple questions about removing the carpet and replacing with something like seadek
1. What is the easiest and best way to remove the old...
There used to be a thread that was locked at the top that went into great detail on how to restore gelcoat on a boat. It listed all the materials needed and then gave step by step directions. Are...
The one thing that I absolutely despise about this boat is the location of the gas tank. In order to get it out of the boat, I have to remove the batteries. I can't see the fuel tank gauge to know...
I am currently seeing what my options are for trolling motors. I am trying to find the most affordable 80lb thrust bow mounted trolling motor and I came across Haswing Outdoor trolling motors. ...
Thanks guys. I will look into your recommendations.
Seadek or Hydroturf are the ones I have heard of. A friend has hydroturf in his boat. Its great if you are standing all day.
I have an oceanpro but I am having a hard time finding a cowling in either white or smoke. I have read that a cowling from a ficht would fit and be better because they are fiberglass. I am trying to...
I have not been able to find a cowling for my motor. I don't care at this point what color it is. I read that 150 hp ficht cowling would fit it and they are better because they are fiberglass. Has...
