Looks awesome.... I noticed you are very close to me, my 76 F36 Tri-cabin is on the big rideau as well. I bought over a year ago and right now im replacing back wall on the berth due to rot.

Thanks Barrie i just finished reading thru your posted project...great work and thanks for keeping track. VERY interesting! Based on this reply i fear what lies ahead but it has to be done. Now im thinking of replacing with a composite material instead of hardwood even though i know the original loo...

Hi Barrie, wow you are really neck deep into that project, very impressive and inspiring. I just purchased a 1976 F36 tri-cabin that needs TLC but i sure hope i dont run into surprises and have to gut down to that level. Im in Ottawa but my boat is at a boatyard up at Portland on the Big Rideau lake...

Hi folks, my 1976 F36 has rot in the rear and side wooden rub rails. Does anybody have experience with replacing these? It looks like rear rail is made of two pieces glued together in an "L" shape but i have no idea what type of wood it is... teak or something else (mahogony maybe)?? Any h...

Thankyou Horhay...that helps.

i Just bought my first cruiser (76 Trojan tri bridge) but i want to bring my PWC on trips as well. Does anybody know a way to do that without having to spend thousands on new hydraulic hardware? I contemplated towing with a rigid arm attached to swim platform but i've read some posts that say its ha...

my vessel is a 1976 and not a mid-engine so there is no hatch above the salon. Misty's idea may work if i took off the deck railing i guess, i will have to measure and see.

i have seen oics on the web of larger apt. size fridges on f36 tri with engines in rear.
my question is how do get a larger fridge into salon area since doorways are so small?
