    Gas Struts for fish boxes on 95 Gready White Adventure

    I have used the soft side of industrial Velcro on a few spots (swim ladder and transom door come to mind) where there was bang (noise and potential damage) potential.

    Deck Material, what's your choice?

    No experience with them all, but I'd say all are pretty close. I'd be more afraid of how they are installed. If the adhesive is aggressive, you may have to do it again due residue if you need to change it out.

    Replacing the transom on my 275 Freedom: a photo story

    The hull is solid fiberglass with potentially wood or composite stringer. I'd say these are fine. Like stated, the wood looks good, so I'd say he's doing what needs to be done.

    Grady white 209 escape cushions

    Hi bring one of the back cushions to a local marine canvas place. They can match it up I'm sure.

    Cabin Cushion Set Recover

    I used the silk material. It helped but some of the larger pieces of foam are much larger than the zipper length. No matter what, you've got to fold, compress and work them in.

    Engine distance suggested by GW and source Vinyl bang cap other than GW

    May want to check the trim tab location on the 30'ers with the larger engines. May need to relocate aft if performance isn't what you expect.

    same hull minor differences. the WAs were being defocused as the DCs got the attention (and for good reason - they sold well). The differences are really minor except for what you indicated. get the best boat/deal and have fun,

    Honda BF350 on Canyon 306

    Big weight difference with twins (Honda vs Yamaha 350) I'd be checking with the factory before I commit to a purchase.

    windshield wiper does not sweep clear 282 Sailfish

    Limited options. The curvature of the windshield makes it difficult.

    Engine distance suggested by GW and source Vinyl bang cap other than GW

    Glass the transom. If it is bulging, you have moisture in it. Get it fixed and glassed. Done right, this is by far the best solution. As for the Hondas, I'd be concerned about weight addition more than position. My 2 pennies....

    Cabin Cushion Set Recover

    Thanks. I wanted something with more pop than the stogy brown twead and after 19 years it was time. Really not that bad of a job at all. Getting some of the cushions in the covers was tricky but not too bad. If we stayed on the boat, I'd opt for a thick over mattress, but those days are over.

    Cabin Cushion Set Recover

    Got this done this past week. Aft cabin 3 cushions and V-birth 4 cushions. Got the 2 curtains to go... I reused the cushions and backside with the zippers. Pretty easy to knock off. $120 for the fabric, had the sail thread and wife did the sewing.

    twin 17yr old yamaha 150s with olny 200hrs would you trust them???

    IMHO it's a coin flip if they check out prior. I don't think folks here are going to make you sleep or not sleep well at night. If the deal is right, I'd take the chance. If the seller has adjusted the price up because of low hours, I'd push back and counter. It could work out very well or not.
