First - LOVE the name of your boat: absolutely well done. You're not a Warhammer 40K fan are you?? Second - the cleaning intel is very appreciated: since this has been my primary concern with boating a fish & having it bleed after being gaffed. Appreciate you sharing the experience!!

It's a bit of both, honestly. But to your point: had not considered the mat - that is a good idea!

Agreed. Our situation is a little different with it being dry-dock + having a cover. But you are absolutely right in that if it's so much money up front - having to simply replace it in 5-7 years for a similar cost is a tough pill to swallow. While I don't necessarily think having it on the...

Yeah - there seems to be a strange market for these fellas. The sales personnel push hard - and it stands in contrast to the fact that if you contact the factory direct (Marine Mat was great when I called for a color swatch - and that alone would make them likely get my business) who always seem...

You did all this in ONE afternoon? It looks great!! And for the cost - I'd say you'd more than got your money's worth!!

I know - a lot of the time it boils down to who likes it or not. Given the choice - I'd like to have it professionally done as well; but the quotes I got for the areas we asked about was over 4K. As much as I liked the specs - having an extra 4K just laying around is a tall ask. Be sure to share...

Afternoon all - Wanted to get the pulse from folks on the idea of Sea Deck/Marine Mat. Have seen several Grady's do it - and in cases it looks great. I honestly wouldn't even mind doing the custom plotting that Marine Mat offers to save on the labor cost. My question is for those of you that...

Here - I'm getting to the point of replacing all 10 of mine just out of paranoia. Like you - there are several I am dreading from how tight a spot it will be. Like Hookup1 said though - prep will help: but having a partner seems to me the one indispensable element. If you can - take some...

We keep the boat in dry-dock away from the water - but we always stow the cushions below deck. Haven't run into any issues so far - and we keep the boat two miles from the water here in LA.

Understood - and thank you as always sir!

Let me chime in here - because we are still neck deep in this as well. Is it a good assumption that the switch panel itself is wired to a bus? Reason I'm asking is - in the attempt to isolate/label everything - I'm trying to make it as easy as possible to identify all the wires.

This is literal gold - truly appreciate the intel. I really would like to pull the top off as well - but with the tuna tower in place I'm worried since it has throttle controls in place. I've worked with Bondo before on doors to build up deep scratches - is it a similar process if you know?

This does help; will try to see if there is a YT video (I follow BoatWorksToday so maybe he has some tips). I've never done any type of scale fiberglass repair like this - and we live in an apartment here in LA so the only real space is at the storage lot. In any event - do you have any...

Looked at the GemLux; whew those are not cheap - but they do look good! Thank you as always, sir!

Good afternoon all - Have two fairly mundane questions today - one is whether this lid for the livewell can be salvaged with enough fiberglass repair: The second has to do with the new locks (which claimed to be stainless...) which we bought/replaced the old ones with: The small...

Honestly - it looks brand new; you did an excellent job with it!

All good background info - thank you. It's honestly amazing how much I learn here every time I post. It feels like I take in more from the replies here than I do with literal hours of watching YT. And all good suggestions, btw - thank you for them all! Since you seem to be familiar - do you...

The wife & I actually discussed the "puck/antenna" - and leaving it there since it was already acting as a guide wire if we ever wanted to put something back on the roof. We installed a Garmin EchoMap 94sv recently - but I didn't know if there would be anything we could add to it to "boost" it's...

I have a tuna tower on top of mine currently - with throttle controls. If it was just the tower - I think we could get away with it. As it stands - I am looking at repairing it without removing it. I myself don't have a garage or covered area to work (but it is SoCal thankfully) - so I feel your...

This looks damn fine; wish I had the money to do it - did you restore the hardtop all by yourself?
