Re: prestolite dist. electronic conversion???

To answer your question. Yes you will need a coil with a internal resistance of 1.5 ohms. If you are switching from a points system with a external coil. If your mechanical advance is in good condition this is a good choice if you are trying to save money. My distributors are 43 years old and still ...

I treated the wood with " smiths cpes clear penetrating epoxy sealer" this stuff is great. It helps prevent rot and provides and very good base for the varnish to go on. For anyone that has not used this stuff it goes on like water and just soaks into the wood. I put on three coats of a hi...

I just took the dog for a walk and went to see this boat. There is a sail boat that you can see in one of the pictures beside it that has been there for longer than I can remember. I never noticed this boat before. I sent a email asking if he is willing to part out the boat. Thanks big D

It is a 82 foot sunseeker. My friend sent me this pic last year. I was just looking for more info on it. I can't find anything about it being destroyed. It is actually listed on several sites for sale. I know one of his engineers , I will try to find out if this is actually his boat. It is registere...

Related to this, I have 2 favourites. Similar to the Pershing, I have seen a Mangusta. 108' long. Surface drives. The guy who owns Second City comedy clubs (but really made his money from Bingo dabbers as I hear it!) used to keep his Mangusta in Port Dalhousie, near St. Catherines, Ontario. Watched...

Hi Rick, did you do your hull as well ? The photo was for you guys. John loved that picture. Every time i have been to Redeau Ferry he has been there to help us in. I will tell Judy she will make another one if you want. I didn't like the frame on that one. We should meet up in West Port next year. ...

The first project I did was replacing the cabin top. Looking back It was easy to do but tool me along time. The curved edges of the top I did in solid mahogany and shaped with a plane and a sander. Everything is coated with epoxy sealer and then west system epoxy. It should last allot longer than th...

boat polish

I saw a boat the used poli glow on the hull last season and I was impressed with the way is looked. I decided to try it this year. After one season is looks just like the day is was put on. So far I am very pleased with the results. http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/gumper1969/IMG_0503.jpg ht...
