Few lessons i learned the hard way cleaning concrete with muriatic. Muriatic Acid acts on the lime in concrete so be careful on concrete and i think it will destroy some rubber. Burn your lungs and take your breath away i all ways wear a good respirator and it's a good idea to wear full eye protecti...

I looked at the price of the valves and thought they were expensive then the light went on, I can use these for my trailer wash down with a long hose.

With regard to the original post, anchoring anything off the stern in a large sea state which forces your stern into the sea goes against everything I've ever been taught about safe boating. And it really sucks to fish around that crap hanging out the back of the boat. With that said, if your life ...

Keith Poe

As your putting a swim platform on anyway...ever consider making it buoyant. Not so much under water like the transom mounts for outboards...but more at and above the water line to add additional lift as the stern encounters a wave. Guess it's something that can be played with after you know were y...

I have three way valves on both engines and the gen set. http://vegaindustrialsupply.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/3-Way_Ball_Valve.12603929_large.jpg I also keep 25' of 1.5" hose with a barb X barb fitting already in one end in case I need to vacuum water from somewhere other than mid ship, o...

Not going to work out so well working with big game.

I'll have to figure out my and the boats limitations and know when to head in.

Thank you guys appreciated.

Keith Poe

I vote for Walter! Brothers it does not take to much of a wave to go over with her ass pin down! Second wave goes in the cabin .you have three seconds to cut that parachute free, run to the bridge ,fire her up and get out of dodge before next wave forget crash valves transom is now level with water...

Keith Poe

Keith To put this in perspective: You asked and the gang answered. Not pretty, but good advice. Of course you don't need to listen to us, but you would get the same advice from anyone with boating knowledge. The boat does not make the difference in this case. Bob is right, first one hits, floods th...

The "Bad Company"(I think a 60ft Viking ..brand new). calm seas I hear.. hit a whale ..holed the bow area. They detached the generator intake up in that area & saved the boat.. almost a total loss.. few years ago. I got some pics somewhere .. Wayne Yea that's a nice boat saw Steve on her last seaso...

Keith Poe

Thank you Walter The whole idea of the larger boat was to gain more fishing time and that will be done alone on the parachute or sand gravel bag off the stern. I'll figure out her limitations as soon as i get her out. There are currently three bilge pumps. i have done some salvages with airbags and ...

Thanks guys appreciated. I do not have a problem when I'm in the helm i can keep her straight and if i did loose power the parachute will keep the skipjack straight as she would never survive being sideways for a moment.

Amines only occur in polyamine epoxies. If your using polyester or vinylester its a non issue. FIllets are just what Bob described. In your 90 degree angles where the box meets the interior hullside and again where the box meets the interior hull bottom- you want to make... in essence a really larg...

Keith Poe

Amine is one of the chemicals in all epoxies and as the epoxy cures any excess amine that didn't link with the hardener will migrate to the surface. This is noticed as a slightly greasy film and must be removed before subsequent bonding can be preformed. And when present, no she's an ugly bitch... ...

Called amine blush and it'll act just like a mold release unless removed. The peelply does remove some of it but not always all. 21:15 -- Forgot to mention... Amine is water soluble and amine blush can be removed by scrubbing with soapy water followed by a good rinse. OK you guys need to speak Engl...

Keith Poe

Keith, Looks good n strong, only suggestion I will add is to use fillets where the beam meets the hull and topside, a radiused inside corner will spread the load and straight or T seams add more stress in a localized area. I mixed up a combination of microfibers and high density fillers with epoxy ...
