    Core Replacement Guide?

    confirmed that there is 1/2" ply core...will be replacing with 1/2" marine core There is a second empty hatch just in front of the cabin, is that for a larger or auxiliary fuel tank?

    Core Replacement Guide?

    Interesting didn't think of balsa. Assume it's the same removal process, cut the glass and tear the balsa out, sand the base, and put in the new! Was going to follow this process (cued up to the right spot):

    Seafarer Angle at Headway Speed

    I'm mounting a radar arch on my 1994 Seafarer 228g and from what I read I want the center of the radar to be level with the horizon when the the boat is at headway speed which often means tilting the radar down ~4 degrees. I plan to use the radar to navigate in the dark, fog, and to look for...

    Where to Mount Radar Screen

    I love RAM mounts and apprecaite the suggestion. I've been considering that route but still looking for additional ideas. Right now it's between the RAM mount, mounting a 8" screen on the passanger dash, or making a fiberglass mold to extend the dash which seems like a lot of extra work (or the...
