Have been reading up on silicone fabrics, sileather and some other brands. Anyone used this material?

I am planning to reupholster the cushions in my 390EC cockpit and overwhelmed by all the brands and why they claim their product is best. We are looking to use white and the main qualities we would want is - Something that can withstand dog claws without scratching / stretching A fabric that...

Thanks, i will give the marine tex a try

I have a few screws that will not hold because of stripped chipped fiberglass. They are not for covers and not structural or bearing any load, also the holes are through 1/8" thick fiberglass (no core wood, just fiberglass). For the holes that are chipped and I can not get behind them so would...

Did you use any teflon tape and how many threads went in hand tight before you wrenched the plug?

Can you see what area the leak is coming from?

I am looking for a used radar arch to rebuild and restructure. Does anyone know of any 1984-1991 390ec's abandoned at marinas or any salvage yards that may have a 390? Thanks

The previous owner of my boat just built all new design. The C - dinette has coolers with drains built into the forward and aft seats and storage in the port. He also fitted an Ikea pull out couch inside, the aft section had hinged storage and he set the AC inside. (Sorry for all the throw...

That looks good, but a bench is ideal. Usually one of my wife, kids or even the dog jumps up there with me while cruising. Here are photos of my layout, the previous owner built C shaped benches. The forward and aft seats have built in coolers with drains the the port side seat is just...

I did check them out before my modification, seems odd how they dont lay across the water but more cut into it. Mine was done as a test to see how the boat felt if they were to be extended, it was a last minute decision I fabbed up 2-3 weeks before she went back in the water

I was looking over this thread and a few others and added 18" deep X 28" wide to my 390EC. I did a cheaper route for a test run, had them made out of 1/8" stainless and used recessed bolts on the bottom side and a "through bolt" method to the existing tabs. I did not notice significant gain on...
