    282 Transom

    Looked at a 282 for sale this weekend. The center screw on the aluminum cap had pulled thru and the end cap sealant on both sides is in need of replacement. I can see a little staining at the bottom engine mount bolts in the bilge. No movement or cracking on the transom. Tapped on it and all...

    Amazon gel coat close match

    Was just their basic kit with yellow, brown and black dye colors. The mix from the two tubes is white and cream color; when mixed it’s very close to the off white faded shade of my 96 Voyager.

    Amazon gel coat close match

    Found this kit on amazon- color is pretty close to a faded Grady right out of the box. 2 part squeegee mix with dye. Great for small repairs.

    Bulkhead replacement

    Pretty big job to say the least. I’m almost done. Wound up using a 3/4 PVC sheet. Biggest issue was the old plywood just fell apart making it hard to use as a template for the new pieces. Lining up all the holes so that the hardware could be reattached proved to be quite a challenge as well...

    Bulkhead replacement

    No, just the helm to cabin bulkhead panels. They are rotted at the base.

    Bulkhead replacement

    Going to replace the bulkheads on my 96 248 Voyager. Any recommendations on material to use? Was thinking a 3/4” synthetic material but open to suggestions.
