Saw that in a writeup about wood core. Would extend the life of bottom paint (new last June). I have a diver, needed more often now through September, plus frequent enough use, keeps the scum growth controlled. In Ft. Meyers, at the base of the Caloosahatchie River, it's brackish but can be nasty brown in heat of the summer. We get the Lake Okeechobee drain to the West. Stuart on the East coast has the same, perhaps worse.
I looked at them also and the math didn’t make sense. My underwater guy comes out monthly for $75. At our haul out, the yard workers kept saying we had a great underwater guy, the hull was exceptionally clean. Even if you have the ultrasonic system, somebody needs to check the zincs monthly and the water here even in a wetsuit is cold. I’m ok with my guy.

Appreciate the reminder on diver as three outings coming up. Ablative bottom job holding up well but it's been several months since his look. He'll clean this week, charges $140. Might get away with next one in June. Then, have to keep it up monthly as temp rises as you noted and water gets nasty. Had to replace a cap hold down bolt on Perko sea strainer for A/C's, threads have been stripped since boat purchase but held well enough with one, then two nylon washers. Could tighten just barely enough not to leak but worried about it all along. Dam part was $48. Probly could have rethreaded but I just don't have that level of shop expertise, so just replaced it.
Awesome! My Dinghy's on the platform. Couldn't be the same but impressive in Marinas as I see on newer boats.
Dam, just looked up how much they cost. How many did you need?
Very cool Kevin! I wanted the spectrums but the Admiral pulled the veto. Just blue and white for us but it does the same rotation which is fun.
I think I paid close to $400 per light. I want to say the Spectrums are close to double the price.
I paid just over $500 per light on Amazon.
I needed more lumens! My friend sent me this picture from above Avalon. Apparently I won the lumen battle that night (center of the pic).
Fantastic! Aboard ours Saturday through Easter.
Does anyone keep their sea strainer glass clean or do they just scum over so quickly it's not worth it, and pulling baskets to clean often enough is sufficient?
