      Unless you own a real wimpy vehicle it should have a tow rating that would be fine for nearly all tinnies. If you buy a big heavy boat...

      Another idea you won't like. Scrap it. It's beyond hope for anyone looking at it objectively. What are we talking about here, a $200...

      Had to remove it to replace bad transom wood. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it look better? It's a bit oxidized...

      Since seems were discussing epoxies and JBW now, I'll add that the JB Kwik is crap! It dries quickly, but is not very strong. On the...

      I'd like to add that in all my years using JB Weld, I've yet to see it rust. How come? I used it on a alum snowmobile block one time and...
