Boat Floor Demolition Time Let’s go over the required tools and accessories before we start the boat floor demolition. It is a great idea to get yourself a good breathing mask with eye protection (Mold spores bad, breathing good). Tools we used were a skill saw, crowbar, hammer, and a shovel. The shovel will be explained …
We have most of the Oxidation from our boat gel coat and the floor is out. With just a little TLC we have seen a great improvement in our 2004 Bayliner Bowrider 175 boat. We still keep taking things off the boat like the rub rail and discover more areas that need attention. My wife …

Better To Float While cleaning out the boat we discovered the bilge pump did not work, that is bad. It started smoking when we filled the bilge with water looking for leaks. It got very exciting as to disconnect the bilge pump in hopes to save the wiring. This also reminded us why it is so …
Battery Good While the battery can be the last thing you think of, we did not want this marine battery to go bad. One of the first things we bought on our boat restore journey was a battery charger from Amazon. This charger was only $20 and will do what we need, keep the battery …
