Well, just killed the budget as our engine repair went from $800 when we were just replacing the head, to $2,400 to replace the long block. We lost the $800, this was money that we used buying the new head and gasket, but you live and learn. At the end of this project, we will …

Sanding Day It got a little hot with all this safety gear on, flashback to wearing MOP4 in the military, but fiberglass is not that good for your lungs.

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 …
