What was the pricing on the Amtico floor?

Looks good...

You going to handle the orders or is the printer...

When you replace the RV lights.. you are going to have four screw holes and discolored headliner... plus you will probably find that the mounting will be difficult... I fashioned a mounting "plate" of wood that uses the existing screw holes that allowed me to easily mount the lights and co...

On my Express 30 I wrestled with this idea also but came to the opinion to update the existing layout vs. a radical change. 1. It maintains the classic feel. 2. I think you are limited to what you can do structurally and 3. The cost associated with major changes. . So I have opted to make changes as...

I want to replace my fridge also but I kind of don't want to pay the AC/DC fridge cost. I would assume you have an inverter set up to power the fridge away from the dock. How big is you inverter? Does that fridge draw alot of power.

Thanks..

The interior LED white lights are a very intense white light and give a very artificial looking light quality that is not very pleasing on the eye for direct lighting. I opted not to use LED inside except for indirect lighting. My choice for internal lights are the recessed or hockey puck halogen li...

I also believe that festoon lights...did not become widely used until way after your boat or mine was built - i.e. 1971 and 1978 respectively. I believe the BA9S bulb (a bayonet style bulb) is the bulb replacement that you are looking for your sidelights. IF you have the original installed Perko tea...

Rules regarding Coast Guard Certification were enacted for boats manufactured on/after: Effective November 1, 2002: The rule will direct manufacturers of uninspected commercial vessels and recreational vessels to install only navigation lights certified and labeled as meeting the technical requireme...

I have replaced the bulbs in my Perko teardrop navigation lights - I dont have the info totally but here is the link from the company: http://www.superbrightleds.com/BA9S6_specs.htm - they are about 3.50 each. Yes they are directional - the Led I have is 4 Led's firing up.. BUT they are sufficient i...

What are you going to use in place? I have bought a sailboat bubble masthead light that is small and can fit where the existing screws to the support bracket were and it will actually cover those up. But if you have a better suggestion I would be interested. I still have to figure out what I am goin...

I have some dark lines in my teak trim outside and on my swim platform - not much but just enough to bother me. I have been using UV Poly to protect but I guess that was not enough. Is is going to be easier to refinish and what is the procedure OR Use Cetol even though I dont like the orange tint if...

I have a '78 30 Express.. I updated all of the lights from the following place: http://www.itc-rv.com/overstock.html I went with the brass Halogen non recessed to replace all of the plastic RV lights (they have a switch also) and went with the Halogen reading lamps up front replacing those black dat...

I am flirting with MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE buying a '78 Tri Cabin. I know the engines will have to be redone but in looking at it - how in the heck do you get new engines in there?

Am I missing something???

Looks like from the brochure it may be a teak floor also?? That would be sweet... refinish that then you can lighten up the boat with a lighter fabric or pleather on the interior. I just ripped out the carpet on my '78 30' Express and went with a vinyl plank cherry wood floor that would make the ent...
