Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

so you were unable to find a law.

we won’t be trusting your hearsay. You have to point us to the law on the books in maine that says you can’t paint your boat when dried out

Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

I do like the brainstorming, but this one sounds really really dangerous.

The potential for damage to the boat is huge.

first you are stressing the laminate and the whole boat to its maximum...

Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

Re: Fun with scammer

have him send you the check. Then say you lost it. Have them send you another check. Basically just waste all of his time. That way he can’t do it to other people

Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

yes I’m looking at getting a compressor for this. I should be able to keep the weight down if I use bags and a compressor. Remember every pound counts. That’s another part of it. Plus I don’t want to...

Re: Here We Go! Cutting Boatyards Out While Doing Bottom/Topsides Work

I might be envisioning incorrectly, but wouldn’t i have to be under water (diving) to do what you are talking about?
