Wipe New
After going back and forth on if I should or not, I used "Wipe New" on the blue insets of my Radar Arch today. So far I am very impressed. Instead of chalky dull blue they are now shiny and new. I am now considering trying it on the large blue bow strips. Any one tried this?
We will have some soon. Just had our first real test using them yesterday. Really happy with how they came out. Now there is enough room for a cooler on the back and you can still use the plaform as well.
We do not have ladders yet. We pourchased a telesoping model that will be very nice...
We have done a few more steps in the swim platform project.First we put a new piece of luan on our table for a flat smooth surface then covered it with Mylar. First we decided on the new width (36") created a form with 2x4s to hold the old sides square in position. Then we cut 6 degree edges on...
We are looking to double the size out to about 40 inches. This way the cooler will be behind the vents and the water can't blow it off. lol Seriously, I have not seen anyone complain of issues with larger swim paltforms and there is debate on if you even need the vents. If anyone has had...
268 Swim Platform Exansion.
Cut and Clean - Cut end off the old platform about 4" in from the transom side using a rotary saw and carbide blade. Used angle grinder to remove the bottom layer of fiberglass and removed the old wood. There was a layer of bondo like resin between the wood and the...
Dave and I started our Swim Platform project in earnest today. We plan to document the whole thing. Should we post here or start a special thread just for that. Can someone tell me the best way to deal with the pictures we want to post?
Thanks,
Mike
I am still not 100% positive I am going to put it on my boat. Kind of looks unique without it. But I probalby will.
I think we do have the hatch. But give me a pict or a good description of exaclty what your looking for. I am new to this boat thing and don't want to lead you on becasue I...
Looks good John,
We just pulled off the pulpit from our (my buddy sn200189 on here) from our "junk boat" and will be rebuilding it for mine that never had one. It is coming apart but the wood seems solid. Probably will just take it all apart and re-glue and staple it back together then...
Hi lv2bunderwater;
I was only able to use mine once. Purchased it in Septemeber but the cool rainy weather this year kept us in almost all month.
Here is a picture of my boat (foreground left. 86 Blue), my friends boat (foreground right. 86 Red) and our parts boat (87 Red) sticking out the...
So I already have a list of about 60 things I want to do on my new (to me) 268. Can't do them all at once and maybe some not at all. But I have this one little issue that is bothering me because I can see it all the time.
There is a small cut in the vinyl that wraps around the top of the...
Just purchased (2 days ago) a 1986 268. No trailer so it is stuck up on Lake Erie until I can find a trailer and get it home. Sucks to have a new toy and I can't even work on it. My friend purchased the same model in July and were looking forward next season.
Just a quick queston. (First of...
