thanks for the input guys . any more suggestions. I live on the southern outer banks of NC so build up would be less than say florida.and it would be on a lift, I was hoping to get away from bottom paint all together..Russ

Russ Pagels

With the work going on with the new boat I have a question re: the bottom. the bottom has been blasted and there are no problems.the boat will be on a lift so do I really need a bottom paint such as Micron 33. Or would some thing like Pettit VC10 I think that's the brand, which would be a hard surfa...

My friend bought a stag arms AR-15. the receiver is marked 5.56X45,my DPMS is marked 5.56MM and .223.I thought I read some where,the rifleman?, that the two rounds were not interchangeable and could lead to problems. any one know. Bruce are you there?...Thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

What I was trying to do was have a permanent fiberglass piece added to the dash for additional hight and curved slightly out ward to deflict wind and remove the Plexiglas wind screen alltogether. I have seen it on so...

Russ Pagels

Hey, has anyone removed the wrap around windshield on the bridge on the B31, and replaced it with a molded fiberglass piece that rises about 6" and curves out slightly to deflect the wind, while running with the curtains up. I know I saw a picture of one like that just don't remember where.If some o...

Russ Pagels

Dug, thanks for Bill,' number I got up with him last week...Russ

Russ Pagels

Does any one have a picture of there hatch that has modified with glass or lexan? thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

thanks guys, the bertram hatch is great. the one on my present boat is fine. the new boat has glassed in front window, so the cabin is dark, and the v berth is even darker. the idea of putting a glass panel in the exsiting hatch sounds good .thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

again with the questions. any one have a lewmar pro fsh 1000 on there boat? what do you think of it? thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

has any one replaced the front hatch with a bomar? if so which one. only two or three more months of questions...thanks guys...Russ

Russ Pagels

Bruce, any thoughts on either cruisair,or mermaid..Thanks Russ

Russ Pagels

I agree with John spray the hell out of it. when I removed mine it took full day to remove the four machine screws, stainless steel screws into aluminum body.When reinstalling use tef-gel on the threads. it will make it easier next time.

Russ Pagels

Russ Pagels

here are the choices, for a/c. each 16btu ,marine air or wabsato air . for generators, we have mase 4.0,phasor 6.5, onan 5.0. which are the best? thanks in advance...Russ
