Aluminum continuous hinges for hatches. 1/2 the price as the brass plated steel (which will start rusting) from Lowes/Home Depot etc. 1/2 price more than covers shipping, especially on the 3 ft. lengths. Excellent service from these guys as well.

This is where I buy all my stainless steel screws and alluminum rivets. They have stores all over the country, but they don't do a lot of expenceive advertising.

HiYa.....................

Just joined and glad I did. Just bought a 1984 Bass Tracker Tournament V17 with the trailer for $200. Sat in the woods for 10 years. 2 hours and 2 used tires and it's in the barn. Pulled all the ply and carpet out down to the aluminum.

I am planning on turning this into a salt water flats boat with casting platforms fore and aft made out of "Advantec", painting the hull with Rustoleum and the inside with some kind of truck bed liner. Any advice or steering to the proper forum would be greatly appreciated.

Just bought wheel bearing kits to redo my tilt-Dilly single axle trailer from etrailer.com. All bearings, races, seals, and cotter pins shipped to my house for under $25. Ordered it Sunday night and received an email that it shipped on Memorial Day!

www.ebay.com

buyer beware!

However there are some good vendors who use ebay as thier store front.

Amazing carpet for the price... purchased the 6' x 20' and wish I got the 8'6" x 25' for my 14.5' build. Goes quick with all of the cuts and what not.

I used the handles from the carry bags of one of my old foldup chairs. Had extra bags anyway. Cut off handle and run the cut end through a flame. Good as gold!

You might think I'm joking, But by far the best price on my boat seats and 97 cent shipping to my door. They have 10x the stuff online-only vs. the stock in the store...

Here is a link to high-density polyurethane foam core composite board, which is a lighter weight substitute of marine grade plywood. Injected foam between two sheets of fiberglass. 4x8 sheet of 3/4" weighs 49# compared to 65# plywood. Expensive at $180 a sheet, but impervious to gas, oil, water and very strong, light weight, and rigid. Just needs to be painted to protect from UV light. Cuts with standard wood blades. Located in Grand Prairie, TX. (Between Dallas and Fort Worth)
They also do really thick custom transom pieces as well.

I am looking for some kind of foam i can fill my boat with. I looked into just the spray foam you get at a local hardware store but a buddy of mine told me he used it and didnt have good results with it. Looking for something i can mix or 2part or something. Please help thanks
