Re: Not Sure What We Have....

No. We stopped really looking into it. Especially now that things got weird. I figured once our refit is done and we're ready for a Coast guard auxillary inspection, we could maybe dig again. I was...

Re: Newbie with a Trimaran

This whole situation has kind of slowed things down but I've started going back down there on weekends. The weather didn't help either. It's also been a pain to get paint and primer and my wife was...

Re: Fiberglass interior?

Correct. It is glassed outside and interior was bare. Well.....everything below the waterline was redone 3 years ago and there was some sort of clear sealer on that wood. The starboard side was...

Re: Interior Paint?

We're already prepared with full face respirators. We hear Bilgekote is pretty nasty stuff!

Re: Interior Paint?

I like the look of satin finishes but is it harder to keep clean than a gloss?

Re: Interior Paint?

We've already purchased Interlux Bilgekote to do the bilge areas of the 3 hulls. We're just having a hard time justifying the price of it to do everything but the ceiling. We're told it will last a...

Interior Paint?

Re: Not Sure What We Have....

Re: Not Sure What We Have....

Oh ok. That makes sense. I'm going to see if the DMV has a record change of the name at some point but at this point I guess it's not a big deal. It is registered and insured the way it is.

Re: Not Sure What We Have....

Yeah the dmv out here is a nightmare. The Autoclub is worth the tow service alone. Dmv services are worth the perk.
