Engine hatches installed. All is good. Need to start up engines and get ready to get wet. Going to use FRP for the toe kicks around the outside under the gunnel wall.

Ok. Had some engine issues. Port impeller needed to be replaced. Done. Starboard engine had me going crazy. Carburetor needed adjustment, then the fuel vent was clogged. And the the griund for the coil wasnt attached. And then the wire from the coil to the distributor was not all the way pushed in. Would only run for 20 min then cut out. Finally got all the things rectified and i had it running for about 30 min last night. Need to adjust the idle and timing on both engines. But i am in the water. And the season starts.

Hey everyone sorry been slacking. Work is kicking my a$$ lately. I am going to be stripping the top rail and cleats this weekend and resealing them. also what is a cheap way to seal the old anchor locker rope door. This is where i believe is my biggest culprit for my soft deck issues. Pics to come tomorrow i promise.

Also found the greatest thing to wash your boat with. Clorox toilet bowl cleaner. Its the most amazing stuff on the planet to use. And its ridiculously cheap.

My research seems to indicate it is fairly easy so long as one moves quickly. Sadly the website videos are not at all helpful. My f32 developed deck problems I believe because some previous owner removed Vberth bulkhead/wall. This removed lots of support for starboard side of deck and dropped starboard hatch a couple inches where water pooled and found a way around hatch. No evidence of leaking into cabin but deck core is toast... Oh well will stay tuned here and hope for an expensive miracle cure... Man that foam liquid is pricey 😁

Majority of the decks get soft on the f32s due to the anchor rope cover. They did not completely seal the core there. Im hoping we get a day with no rain lol
