Dave,

Did you get my check? I mailed a week or so and did not let you know. The pennant is SUPER, it will fly with PRIDE. Thanks to you and Jimini for your effort

Mac, where in the engine room did you drill these 1 1/2" holes, in relation to the engine stringers? I have a hunch the same thing is happening on my boat. As I was chasing the leaks on my boat, all interior, it never accured to me that water might be coming up. It was and your experience seems...

Staples in overhead

Don't give up on the staple holes, you can fix then and on one will ever know they are there. Find a paint store that carters to commercial painters. take a piece of wood that is stained the color you want. Remember, all of the interior wood is stained before it is oiled or varnished. the paint stor...

black spots

mac,

Be sure to put a good coat of wax on after the spots are gone or you will set up the condition for more to "grow". Glad you got the fix.

Black spots

First - The black spots are mold and unless you are going to paint the boat I would not try to hard to get rid of them. Just give it a good wax job and keep your eyes on the water ahead. If you use heavy rubbing compound and heavy pressure you will soon get more trouble than the spots. Poly resin an...
