Re: How to pull my Chrysler 400's from F36 Salon
Most the time I would use a fork lift with forks that will reach through the door or a boom truck .this is depending what the yard has . A fork lift used for lifting boats works well and will reach . No need to pre lift it with a A-Frame . A chain fall /come a long on the fork lift is helpful +1 on...

Re: Sandblasting Swim Platform
Tim, don't forget to wipe down with acetone just before applying Cetol. This will remove the oil on the surface of the teak so the Cetol can penetrate into the wood. Very important step that will provide good adhesion of the initial coat.

Re: vinyl wrap for hull
Barrie, I agree with Big D. Restoring gelcoat will produce incredible results. I refinished a 1967 Chris Craft Commander in Awlgrip at a large expense, several years ago. I did another 1970 Commander a few years later and restored the original gelcoat. It was awesome on completion, way better than t...

Re: vinyl wrap for hull
Hi Barrie, Progress on your boat is looking good. On the wrap idea I would offer my input. Gelcoat and other finishes ie; Awlgrip, etc, have abrasive qualities that can stave off damage from many sources; Dock rash, fender rub, impacts, scrapes, etc. and I am not sure vinyl can withstand the same wa...

Re: Oil Types for 280 gas engines
The people at Antony-Keats, (the experts) advised using Mercury High Performance Gear Lube in Walter V-drives. I use Rotella 15W-40 for engine oil and ATF in the reverse drive.

Re: Sandblasting Swim Platform
sandblasting is not the way to go. use a good stripper like Circa. If you have stains or dark spots use a 2 stage cleaner. flush well with water. When dry sand with 100-150 grit as the grain will be raised. than 220. I would not coat with epoxy because when the platform is damaged ie; scrapped (and ...

Re: REMOVING FLYBRIDGE FOR TRANSIT
CBL, did you shop around? I know they have been transported with the right hydraulic rig and removal of the mast and plastic w/shield. Removal and reinstall is a PITA.

Re: Hydraulic Lift
Hi Ron, the lift on your boat was built by "Lift & Go Systems" in Midland Ontario. Marc Plourde is the principal of the company. They build lifts with 600 lb. to 1000 lb. capacities depending on the unit. Marc is a great guy. Give him a call if you have any questions about your unit. H...

Re: Spray rails
They are not difficult or expensive to replace. Their other job is protecting the lower aft hull from impact damage and they look good, IMHO
