Sun of a gun. It took me a minute. Hahaha

Does the gunnel support screw into the floor? If yes, I think the process might be to slide the floor up under those bulkheads or whatever they are called. That would happen before the rear floors are installed. I understand use of 3/4 ply prevents that. I think there are two options. One...

I was going over this thread again from the start and saw your discharge chart comparison in post #31. It makes more sense to me now.

I agree with @MrGiggles ' suggestion. If you want to find adaptors and are not sure of the thread, take your pump to any decent hardware store. The threads on your pump are pretty standard and you will find the fittings you need.

Welcome to tin boats. It would be helpful to further explain what it is you want to do. It sounds like flex seal was used in an attempt to seal a leaky hull. It would help if you can share more about the problem. A few leaky rivets, leak along a seam, or ?? Circle back with more detail and...

Thank you but I did nothing other than ask the same question in that other thread.

Thanks for circling back. Never dealt with it myself, but I've also heard about concerns with floor cover adhesive over epoxy coatings. If by filling the voids you mean those along the edge laminations, I think you will be much happier with a putty than glue. I can't recall using PC11...

I wonder how the cost of OTF components compare to penetrating epoxy? I suspect the price of spar varnish makes them relatively comparable. If so, why not use penetrating epoxy. I now little about OTF other than what I read. I do know that penetrating epoxy provides excellent protection on...

I had a similar question in another thread starting at about post #80 or #81 in the link below: https://www.tinboats.net/threads/lithium-battery-worth-the-expense.50307/

Would need something to keep the bottom of the tripod legs from splaying out. Probably easier in the long run to make 2x beam supported by a couple 2x braced posts with feet. Maybe simple ply gussets to keep it from racking. Bolt together. Disassemble when not in use.

Not to be confused with a scow.

Mrs Ldubs asked the same thing. So I asked her if the Prada brand purse carried more stuff than the TJ Maxx one. And that folks, was where I made the first mistake. :)

This here is a great suggestion. Caulking a butt joint like that to make it look neat usually won't work out very well.

I was thinking keep the transom a uniform thickness and reinstall the corner caps just a little forward. They would have to be removed anyway so could be reinstalled to fit the new transom thickness. Either way, a new transom top cap is in the cards.

My oldest son and his family live in Missoula. When I visited last summer we spent some time on Flathead Lake in a rented pontoon. It is beautiful country (except for me not the winters so much, haha).

Thanks for sharing the comparisons pic's. If you have to replace the transom wood anyway, I would consider redoing with a total of 1 1/2" or 1 3/4". It would require a new transom cap.

Yeah, but is a hot dog a sandwich? :)

An oldie but goodie:

They are both nice boats. Tough call.

Reason I shy away from them is if there are not enough or if they are not properly adjusted they can make a hard point. Bunks are just easier and spread out the support. I think the big qualifier is knowing how to set them up no matter using bunks or rollers.
