What happened to the Bayliner? (besides its a Bayliner )

yea yea and I prefer my BMW over your 1600$ tune up Benz LOL Im hoping its just the starter. Was getting the bendix click. Power was good, Fly wheel not turning. I replaced an old battery cable and did no good. Ive already had starter rebuilt once so Im just gonna order another one. Wife and I were suppose to fish this morning before she went to work. first time of the spring. On the way home she said "life without a boat is not an option" guess im in trouble

LOL cool. Animals huh? Well we are freaks our selves for animals. We have a private meeting at the local zoo on may 19th. I get to meet 2 orangutan's and their keeper in person with some other people. I have an issue with orangtans, I LOVE THEM and want one and will own one some day. we give a good bit of money to the zoo for these 2 in charity. I cant help it and the wife supports it LOL. kinda neat i get back door access twice a year.

lmao , I showed the wife your pic and the first thing outa her mouth is, Ummm is he MARRIED???? I said sure he has an understanding wife just like ME . yeah the pets, we rehab orphan baby coons every spring last year we raised 5 and got them set free today and now it starts all over as we have four babys now, seems the mother was attacked by an owl and didnt make it so here we are starting all over again , were in the country,more woods setting here and they have a large male husky that keeps the fishers .foxes,coyotes at bay.

LOL I get the "is he married" alot... I couldnt have found a better girl in the world! she is me! except she likes to do her nails and hair and tan and all that comes with girls, but she is true to the core! A FISHER WOMAN. hard to find.. 90 minutes to get ready for anything sucks, so I adjust her wake up time on days needed LOL

OK I need some reassuring advice. pro/con argument or not doesnt matter to me. Layed first wooven set of glass in the front window and it dried very thin. about 60$ thin. I am considering putting 1/4 inch hard wood to make up the difference of thickness. Glass again/ both windows. Then one solid run of fabric on top acroos the entire front to secure. and 2 solid runs in the cabin. This should be very strong IMO. But what do you think about the wood inlay? I thinks glass will soak in to the wood and it will be just fine forever. Save money. Any thoughts? all are welcome!

You can use what CP posted or plywood would work also .

use the wood and save a few bucks, I'm sure it stand up. I just primed and got a first coat on my front window frames tonight. shop kinda butchers the lexan so think I'll buy it again and cut iot myself and use the garbage ones to redo the galley sliding doors there black lexan now but have tried it before and looks good , you paint the backside gloss black and leave the front blank it always has a nice shine . get some more pics up here

Jeff, the ply will be just fine. Wet it out real good. It'll be encapsulated and last a long time. However, given that the existing patch is cured, you should be adding a new layer of strand between the patch and the ply for a stronger bond.

thanks, im glad we are all thinking the same way. Mike I like your product, just not cost efficeint. Nobody will ever be allowed to step on or use this area as a walking space, I think I know what im doing here, but I will always be worried about it. they are big holes to fill!!

I need a blog, there are clean looking. good Idea Torcan

Jeff, you should start a personal blog highlighting all your progress. You can find free blog places to do it.
Keep posting here as well, but keep that blog online as kind of a diary of your progress. Just sticking to the details of your re-build. Without others comments. You can post pics and your comments.

That way, it won't also be all clogged up with chatter.
Keep this one going as well, But I am sure you will appreciate that blog as well in the future.

Just a suggestion.

started a blog and learning. Not sure if I like this one and its tools, Let me know if you have a better blog site to use. Im going to leave it just like this till I get some feed back. Might change sites.

It looks great, and you will appreciate it so much a few years from now when you look back at what it was and what it has become. Keep up the good work.
BTW..It is exactly the same blog I use for personal family and other personal things in my life. Will probably be around 100 years after I'm dead and buried. You'll get used to it.
