Its true. There are thousands of citable offenses in the California Vehicle Code. Most of the time it would be an opportunity to educate rather than cite. It would fall under CVC 29004(c) with a side of the catch all CVC 22350. Will

All the foam is removed. Still working on clearing all the limber hoes out.

Well I started tearing the poured in foam out today, what a MESS. Im not sure if the install was factory but they really messed things up badly. A lot of the limber holes were sealed shut. This of course held salt water. I have found four additional holes. Im sure I will find more by the time I...

I always thought she rode pretty well for a tin boat. I never saw the 26' version must have been a beast. I only have the 90HP on mine but yes it does scream. When I first got the boat I took it out on a glass day with me and a buddy no gear, we hit 38knts on GPS. later when i started diving i...

I honestly didnt even think it was a bad idea until after it tore it up. My brother told me he would take care of it while I was gone...

That looks like a very nice boat. Your bilge looks deeper than mine somehow. My decking is cut back about 4'' from the transom in between the knees to allow for bilge pump and eventually a bait pump. will

From my research and talking to other owners, the hull material is 5052. I spoke to three different welders today and none of them expressed any real concern with welding on the 5052 with their modern welders and skill level. One welder came to look at the boat and gave me a price of $500 to...

I am in no rush to get her back together. I am going to cut the corner caps and remove the wood today. Corrosion aside, I am just not comfortable with having so many holes in the skin. The rest of the hull forward of the transom is in very good shape with the exception of the anchor/bow...

I read your whole thread on that project, very impressive work and well beyond my level of skill. being that the boat is primarily alll welded construction, I am at the mercy of a shop to weld in a new section. I have experience with a spool gun but its less than ideal to weld on these hulls...

I would Say 95% of the boat is welded with the few rivets being not structural. I will call klamath (I actually passed by the factory on Sunday when I towed this down south) and see what they have to say. I have heard their customer support has always been great. I do not see any hook or...

Thanks for all the quick replies and the advice! Update: I wire wheeled the transom with a very soft stainless brush and after removing all of the silicone I am rather disappointed. I counted a total of 96 penetrations in the transom skin with 16 of them being from corrosion/electrolysis...

Hey there guys, I am new to the forum and this is my first post. Twelve years ago, my brother and I purchased a 1984 21' Westcoaster Bayrunner. We used the boat in the San Francisco Bay and off the Northern California Coast regularly for about two years. I joined the military and use of the...
