Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
LOL, I like the idea P-Dogg. But my to do list is still at 42 items, really it is. But I'm making this a higher priority. Thanks, again you made me think about cruising around and not being able to see the bilge easily to know if there is a problem. This I'm sure gives one the piece of mind knowing ...

Re: F32 Interior Wood Work
Its all good P-Dogg. Its all about helping each other get the best results from our hard work right. Criticism is part of trying to help someone do a good or better job.

Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
Good point P-Dogg very good point. Well hopefully it will hold for another few days. I'm getting her put in the water on Monday. To start the first season as a Trojan owner. So excited to get her floating again. I do need to run a hot wire to the forward bilge pump so I can have it operating on the ...

Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
I appreciate the concern about the cinder blocks but my marina has taken excellent care of my boat so far. And I am a Builder/Contractor/Project Manager and you do point out an easy mistake anyone could make. Cinderblocks are only meant to stack in one direction. With that being said if someone stac...

Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
OK I had a good window of weather finally so I got the first coat of gelcoat down on the cockpit deck and cleaned up the bottom and gave her another fresh coat. I think a soda blasting is in her future though. I'm hoping to get the nonskid down next weekend and reinstall the bridge ladder so I can d...

Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
How are you going to finish the edges of the luan? That's where all the moisture is going to get absorbed. After using contact adhesive and wrapping the edge with the vinyl covering I'm confident they will last another 40 years

Re: Refitting a 1976 F-32 Journal
Just finished covering the cockpit combing panels. At least I think that's what they are called. Also I have the new sliding doors for the galley and head ready to install into the new tracks I put in last weekend. This week is bottom paint and gel coating the cockpit deck if the weather holds that ...

Re: Throttle handles
Cappy, If you loosen the tiny set screws on the chrome covers on the lower controls. You will then see the Philips screws used to hold the handles onto the control. I bought the screw drivers from Amazon here's the link:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MT1XQJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?...

Re: Throttle handles
Cappy, I had seriously sloppy handles on the lower helm of my 1976 F-32. I was able to remove the chrome base covers and use a crazy 90 degree phillips screw driver to tighten all the handles. See photo of the 90 degree screw drivers I bought from Amazon.
