Well I didn't let the paint cure very long, August 28th a few friends headed to Houston with their boat and I followed in their footsteps the 29th. They were able to help with evacuations the 30th but when we joined them that evening they had just wrapped up evacuating the area they had been...
Thanks guys for all the great tips, now we gust have to get together and go through some of them until we figure it out. Ill update you guys once we've hit the water.
Motor runs fine. I'm not gonna say it's never picked up debris but there definitely isn't anything stuck in there. It got worse gradually from what he told me. Does anyone know what kind of clearance there is supposed to be between the impeller and the wear ring or whatever it's called?
Hey guys,
My buddy has a 2010 Evinrude Etec 115 with a jet pump on a 19 foot Lowe, it usually goes about 30-40 mph but the last time it was in the water when we were in Houston it wouldn't open up and it would only do about 10 mph. it seamed like it was okay to a certain rpm and then if you...
Today I played hooky from work and stayed home so I could paint the boat. Gotta love having paid vacation haha. Anyways I got her sprayed, now for the paint to cure and apply the registration decals etc and then I'll get better pictures. So stoked and I can't wait to get on the water!
Bottom has been painted with gray Fasco steel flex. Main floor has been installed and foamed underneath. Did some test fitting of the seats that go on the main floor. Another will go up on the deck when I get to that. The side by side seats are for my 2 and 4 year old children are kinda close...
Congrats on the boat! I have the same thing minus the fact that the previous owner removed a bunch of the original equipment etc. I can't wait to see where you go with this! Mine is going to be a very open floor plan with lots of pedestals for the kids, myself and maybe my dad on occasion. Keep...
Finally got a few minutes to install the flooring supports, haven't started the casting deck yet but the next step is to bolt in the new transom and flip it and get the bottom painted before I add anymore weight.
I used to be in the automotive refinishing business so I understand the entire painting, and even glassing processes, I am new to the Fasco Steel Flex product though so it should be exciting. The only real concern I have with the steel flex is its (Flex characteristics), is it flexible enough to...
Haven't made much progress yet, been busy with other things however I did do some shopping. Cabelas has a sale on swivel eaze products so I got 3 adjustable pedestals and 2 fixed ones. I also ordered a bunch of fasco steel flex. A few more things and some warmer weather and I'll be making progress.
