not looking to skimp, actually looking to up grade from the original, I will pay top $$$$ cause im never gonna do themm again!

Richie, yes that what I mean. Im looking to upgrade from what was there, not cheaper. I only want to do this once. One of the originals failed (Lawrance) on she started to take on water. Im looking for something even better, maybe a newer material since 1994?

Hello all, Well Im awaiting the arrival of my new thru hulls, scuppers and cockpit drains. I ended up with the Attwood scuppers and thru hulls from Discount marine, and I ordred the cockpit drains direct from SouthCo over the phone. Now, when I install them, does anyone have a...

Bob, yup, Im gonig at her my self! With full confidence. I just got most of the supplies to start the glassing I need to do. I had a nice long talk with my glass supplier and he gave my great instructions and tips. Which is why I like to get my stuff in person. You may save on the...

Looks good! Nice Pic!!!

Cuz its a BFB! LOL

Jim, Make sure you check it out thoroughly to make sure there is no water or moisture in there. It may be not flexing, but if you seal it up and its wet, your just delaying the inevitable, it will rot. Ive never used one, but a moisture meter may help? or maybe test a hole? If it is...

Boxer, any updates on how you transom is coming?

Check the Grady White site and look through the different year catalogs. You should be able to find all the specs your asking for there. If not give them a call on Tuesday, they will help you. Man, I would like to see them make another hull with twin turbo diesel inbords. Like a Marlin or...

Any pictures? Tough to tell by just words, but it dosent sound like a difficult fix. Are you sure its rot? Sounds like maybe an area that may have taken a hit at one time and never repaired. Im no expert, but fiberglass dosent usually just "rot". Throw some pics up, and being a...

Maybe I should have told them my transom was difficult to clean too :P :P :P :P :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your 95 is the same as my 94 Sailfish, all the thru hulls are accessable EXCEPT the Starbord side rear scuppers, I called Grady on that and they recommend cutting a Hole in the inside of the Euro transom wall where the transom door opens to. And place a deck plate there. Also look in to...

Brian, Im really scared to put wood back in there after what I found :shock: Im not sure yet, but I am talking to somone who repairs, and he is confident in plywood. Im gona weigh out the options and see.... I still havent found anyone to can give me any concrete evidence that...

LOL! Ya they probably would offer me money too :!: But I hear you, I was really shocked when saw it, and to hear they still do that style. Greenwood may not rot, but it wont keep it from getting wet, What happens in the winter if it does get wet? But any way I know it will be good...

Take em' off, throw em' in the trash! I replaced mine with two primer balls, hell of a lot cheaper, I only need to prime them if its been sitting a long time too.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did it run you? I got a qoute for a new pulpit for about $1100

Believe it or not, as bad as it is, the flex wasnt that bad (any flex is bad, but Im just saying in my case given what I found in there). Im not sure about the Marlin, but if it has that fiber glass cover over the cap, look at where the caulking is at the edges, if they are craked or torn (look...

This is what I found under the cap and braket, note the bare wood, the "putty" has vanished! I should have taken more photos as I pulled it apart, but I was in awe and It went fast.

Im gonna say yes, I called Grady and talked to them about it. I was blunt and said I couldnt believe the design, I was told the putty between the aluminum bracket (its a half inch thick hefty angle braket under that removable cap) seals the wood. I chukled as I was staring at mine while on the...
