Re: replacing through hulls in water

The seacocks are bronze and completely seized and very crusty. One casting can rotate which means the through hull is turning with it? There are no bolts in them just resting on wood blocks. I'm sure...

Re: replacing through hulls in water

Honestly it will probably need the through hulls and the seacocks replaced. I'm in south Florida and heading up to Jacksonville for a complete haul out/refit. I'm wanting to get the boat ready to...

Re: replacing through hulls in water

No core below water line. Solid glass i believe to be an inch thick or a little over. Built like a tank.

Re: replacing through hulls in water

Hmmm my seacocks have no bolts. In the bronze casting there is provisions for two bolts but none are there just the hull, block of wood, and casting. They are all this way and I'm pretty sure factory...

replacing through hulls in water

I've seen videos and talked to a few sailors that have said and explained replacing through hull fittings while in the water. Seems to be quite a few videos of swapping out transducers in water. Of...

Re: Looking for advice on a major refit

Quotes have come in for hauling on land to Texas. Looks like 5.5 to 6k. I'm looking at keeping her at Galveston as it's a quick 6 hour drive there. I'm also looking at getting a cheap pull behind...

Re: Looking for advice on a major refit

I agree on the oversight. I'll keep it state side. I did a lot of calling today and I believe I found a shipping company to take it out of Florida to Galveston, Tx. This way I can visit as often as I...

Re: Looking for advice on a major refit

The cost of new maybe, but I don't think it will be laid up like a tank. Also I can spread the cost of the repairs over one year. I can't get a loan for nothin' right now, even with ok credit, steady...

Re: Looking for advice on a major refit

The way I see it is the same way I see cars. It's better in my mind to buy a project/boat and build it out the way I want. I've seen countless customers come through my shop that have bought their...

Re: Hello sailors! From Texas

Thanks sailmonkey. I don't think it'll be to bad of a move, just lots of hours on the motor. Good idea on scrapping the bottom.
