Hey Guys. Just a quick update for your viewing pleasure......... :) This project sure is going slower than I expected but that is fine I guess. I guess I underestimated just how time consuming some of these steps are. The supplies arent real cheap either...but so far the wife has been cool...

I have a 1982 7.5HP Evinrude Outboard. Mixed the gas/oil at 50:1 Ran like a champ at my house in a tank of water. Got out on the lake for a test drive...started right up. Was running fine. Got to the middle of the lake...it stalls. WOULD NOT start again! Thank God the wind was blowing towards...

It's not getting near mine either. Simply NO NEED to risk it. [-X

Thanks. It's Rustoleum Protective Enamel. I mixed Hunter Green, Safety Yellow, & Black to get the color I wanted. Applied it with a 2" brush & a 6" sponge roller.

Glad to see ya out there enjoying it...GREAT JOB!!! LOOKS AWESOME :!:

I was able to get the outside painted this week so here are a few pics. Will be continuing on the interior this weekend. :D

Looking good...geekster. Nice paint job & love the layout as well. =D>

Absolutely Right. I think that's why we all visit these forums. To learn what works & what doesn't. To express our opinion & listen to others opinions. To ask questions & to answer questions. To get new ideas & share ideas. etc...etc...etc. I'm not going anywhere [-X ...whether the repair...

Thanks for the advice man. I think sometimes pictures give the wrong idea though. I don't think anyone would feel that way if they saw and felt this repair in person. I am 99.99% sure that no wave is gonna take this patch off the boat, it is on there real solid, and the best part is that it...

A few days later I mixed up another entire kit of the JB and applied over the area again, just to strenthen up the area a little more. Also coated the rivets in the area just in case I knocked any of them loose with all the sanding/wire wheel in the area.

As you can see in the above pic I did not prime the area that needed to be patched yet. I was still waiting on the supplies for that project but since I had time to work on other stuff, I went ahead with that. Now onto the fun part. :---) Fixing that "Titanic" hole in the hull. :P Luckily...

Been awhile since i posted. So I figured I should update. Not really a ton of progress due to weather and oh yeah that thing called work #-o

I'm a day late as well...but hope all of you had a great Easter!!!

IMO they don't look all that cool. Kinda strange looking. I'm sure they are a blast to ride. But I can definately picture true motorcycle enthusiasts making fun of them. But as others have said I just don't have the money to think about something so impractical and expensive as that.

This is what i've decided to do. I have spoken to someone who welds and he thinks this method will actually have a better chance of being waterproof. He said "Welding on aluminum with all those rivets in the way is prolly why the 1st attempt to patch it still leaked."
