no- its just not compatible with all gelcoats i posted it already too- the place that sells it to you will say they dont know why its not working for you, they sell it all the time, etc etc fact is they dont apply it they just sell it even some replacement material doesnt make up for the lost time. ...

how did you ever make out with this? hopefully you werent too affected by the fires

Raybo Marine NY

my curiosity is the STRUCTURAL marine grade products that they have on their website the regular board serves a far from structural purpose and is perfectly suitable Personally we have some out in the field that have been in service for many many years including backing boards for coaming pads, seat...

Raybo Marine NY

All that marine specific stuff is pretty new, I didn't even know they were marketing and producing products specifically for marine structural applications

I’ve gotten CNC kit cores from manufacturers and I swore some of it was just pvc trim boards

Raybo Marine NY

Komacel and komatex 2 different products same manufacturer
One very much softer than the other
Sizes are in MM and run true, something in a 3/8 equivalent would be fine for the side panels

Raybo Marine NY

some may want to paint to match the boat's finish exactly the benefit over glassing over wood or coosa is saving the fairing and finish time if you have a large table to glass on you would still spend as much if not more money to make the panels if you made them out of wood you would want to seal al...

Sign shop supply , or just ask a sign shop to avoid excessive truck freight costs The 1/2” thickness is good There are many pvc boards , some scratch really easy which is why I prefer that stuff. It’s pretty robust you can even polish it if you like. Those panels are as-is, no paint on them , not po...

Raybo Marine NY

you dont want starboard, besides being ugly it warps, doesnt hold adhesives, resin, paint, doesnt hold screws well either Komacel is availible in 10' sheets, you can get the 2 side panels from one sheet another for across the transom. I THINK ( would have to double check ) you may be able to get the...

Raybo Marine NY

how did you make out, the suspense is killing me

Raybo Marine NY

Let me know if you get a different result, but I have my doubts
Gelcoat and duratec is not sensitive like paint, you can literally put it over a greasy surface and it won’t react like paint when a tiny molecular droplet of contamination causes surface issues

Raybo Marine NY

There could be the possibility the gelcoat is not compatible with the Duaratec ,this does happen and people who sell the stuff typically do not work with it and have no idea. You will always be “the first time they have heard of that “ Try another smaller batch and see if you get the same result You...

If you can’t find a sample of komacel local give your address I’ll send you a piece , guarantee when you see it you will not want to use Adak or god forbid starboard

Raybo Marine NY

Use komacel for that application, so much better than either of the other boards being discussed Of course if you can get prefinished fiberglass panels that would be good as well but not as easy to get nor as easy to cut You can get 10’ komacel boards , you get 2 panels out of one board and need a s...

Raybo Marine NY

You can countersink a small bolt into the glass and either tap the inner plate or bolt it. I didn’t bother because both sets of tanks we used them on you could reach in without too much trouble

Raybo Marine NY

buy the one that is in the best condition, worn cracked gelcoat is very time consuming and expensive to repair

everything else you want to do on the boat will remain the same so save yourself some time and money on the cosmetics

We usually clean them with degreaser and water. Light scuff pad on the end of a stick .

Don’t forget to string them up when installing the Bertram tank is deep you don’t want...

Pete sounds like he would be happy with just a sliding window that isn’t broken

Not everyone is ready to take the saws all out and invest tens of thousands of dollars or “hundreds of hours” , sounds like he just wants a window that ain’t broke

Bobbie I’m not questioning the materials I don’t know why that’s what you are taking away from this. I’m just saying when someone else sells a product,service, they are entitled to get paid for their time and that product Did you keep track of the time and materials you had into the front window del...

I’m not the one fabricating/selling FULL set of frames AND windows for $17k I’m not insulted by it.i just understand how time and overhead is money. I’m sure the pizza dough is the least of the cost of a slice of pizza and I can cook my own steak for less than the $60-$90 a steakhouse charges. Curio...

Pete wants opening windows , he doesn’t want to close the boat up. 50 years with opening windows and lives to tell the tale.

Mesco/seacoast stock it and deliver in NJ. Check a local repair,marina,or Marine supply store if they can get it in for you. No shipping and you won’t have too drive far I don’t have a Kellogg/land and sea boook here at home they may stock it too. Personally If I had no local source I would rather p...

I have 4 of these, chromed and never put into service. been wrapped in brown paper for close to 20 years now.
Be a shame to break them up.
they are Not bertram vents they came off my early 60s Century.

Raybo Marine NY

this is the advice I give people- if you have a trailer and a way to pull the boat yourself you can take the gamble

if you have to get hauled then why take the chance?

it also depends on usage, water at the dock, etc, what works for one does not work for everyone even if you use the same paint.

Raybo Marine NY

The rail is either bolted, or even worse threaded into aluminum plates. Sometimes takes a good day to access all the nuts on the backside. Being that some are spinning and not going anywhere seems likely they are thru-bolted. It’s also not uncommon to have a combo of 2 bolts and one screw if there w...

Tony he likes to really USE his boats and while he cares for them he doesn’t fuss over things , your results may vary I remembered There was a 5th boat too but I have not seen that one either don’t know if it’s still owned by the same person. Somewhere out there is a 36’ with a starboard side imron ...

Raybo Marine NY

I painted 4 boats with it. Initially I liked it. Less overspray little cleaner to spray. What I didn’t like was the coverage. It NEEDS the reduced to flow out but when you use the reducer as suggested the coverage suffers. No fault of the paint but 3 of those boats returned for impact damage a year ...

2nd not sure what’s there, were there blisters the last time because that looks like maybe they missed a couple
3rd looks like the typical split mold gelcoat cracks

Raybo Marine NY

The barrier will not stop it from crazing again, tried it a few times over the last 20 years and have seen those boats from time to time since then. How long it will last depends on a lot of variables and how much exposure to the sun. It will be a nice foundation and may give you a few years for the...

the mod to the 20 splashwell is done, motor achieves full tilt without ruining the boat with a huge splashwell

are you getting enough fuel? pretty long fuel lines to the engines

Original fuel tank?

I'll try to remember to get some pictures tomorrow, your engine choices are small if you decide it's worth the work you could end up a smaller splashwell and still get full tilt

Raybo Marine NY

this winter we extended the splashwell on the 20, owner wanted to be able to fully trim it Instead of making the entire splashwell larger I got the idea after paying attention to various boats that have come through the shop when I realized a lot of outboard boats have 2 sometimes 3 stage splashwell...

one of these sized checks

and a truck load of beer

Raybo Marine NY

Sounds like top gun or stamoid, there is a cleaning formula on their website

Raybo Marine NY

that top gun material seems to get moldy easy

try tossing it in your swimming pool if you have one

see if you have an awning cleaning service by you they usually do a really nice job cleaning and treating it, comes back folded up like chinese laundry

Raybo Marine NY

The piece did not come close to fitting, no fault of the piece itself it's just designed for their entire system

We had to cut Craig's in every dimension to fit - length and width I don't even think the height worked with the original boxes

Based on that I would say no it will no to a gas boat

Raybo Marine NY

you can burnish the paints like the sail boat guys do to get a smoother look, if you are going for something that matches the original bertram white you can get micron in "oyster white" but its not copper free so you may get some green tint when its out of the water
