Going to check again next time I’m at the house Dan. Weather sucks again this weekend (gotta love middle earth here in the northeast) I had the same question myself. Those staples are all rusted away. The cushions etc look practically new. They were stored and rarely used. .

Very nice

Lot’s of snake oils out there for water spot removal. As mentioned it may be etched therefore could need to try mechanically (polishing) or hire a professional

Just throwing a well deserved jab here … Have a beautiful set of factory cushions that snap on the exterior of the trunk cabin. They have been stored indoors at home or down below in the V berth so they look almost new. However upon further examination I noticed that the “Staple Scientist” had...

Very clean look having the paint follow the water line

Fyi had purchased a pair of Ongaro wiper replacements last spring (black) coated. Sold as marine wipers. Doing some prep this spring and noticed they were rusted out. Why in the world would someone zinc coat a steel wiper and sell it for use on a marine application ?? Luckily The local dealer...

The two tone look is nice if the boat is lift kept and no bottom paint is intended. I agree that it’s a little odd IMO when the bottom gets painted and you have a white gap (teeth) if you will. I like the color and would fill the gap then do a nice light boot stripe to make it really “Pop”

Just for comparison sakes I have a 2008 23’ Jones Brothers Light Tackle edition that is certainly a lot lighter with less deadrise then the 24 offshore GW. The 24 Offshore is a lot more boat !! My Jones is powered with a Yamaha F250 four stroke and is the perfect power match set up, it’s no...

Epoxy type sealants on this job would only be necessary on the drain cut out itself, not the fittings. And what I mean by that is use it as a core filler after de-coring the cutout. I’m assuming that deck is balsa cored and if it wasn’t sealed properly it is subject to get wet if it hasn’t...

Congratulations on the boat !! The repairs on the fishbox lid are going to be a bit more involved then a simple grind and re gel. You’re going to have some glass work involving the replication of the non skid grid if you want it to look original. If you are handy There are some good YouTube...

… thanks Dan Byram, I fashioned a couple different pieces of 3/8 all thread rod. One with a pointed angle and another with a pointed hook. Using them to dig out the soft core while the threaded rod served as a file or rasp of sorts scraping and digging simultaneously. It worked fairly well...

The water intrusion was coming from a couple sources. One area was the foot of the pipe work hardtop support, the factory installed snaps for the seat cushions and at the bomar cutout. All fasteners etc now are sealed or screwed into epoxy and rebedded so this won’t happen again as long as I’m...

Finally repaired/replaced soft core area on cabin top, port side of bomar hatch. I was able to accomplish this without cutting the top skin by removing the bomar and excavating the soft balsa core. After removal and drying out process I fashioned some tools to sand both the undersides of the...

Almost done final touches to our 2007 Marlin. Will splash her in two weeks. Treated her to some new coaming and rear seat upholstery this year … will hang it when we go in the slip.

Good price … Looks real nice !! Good luck with sale

Yep and the pandemic wasn’t easing up then. If anything it was on the rise.

Not so funny thing we have research vessels sounding the ocean bottom 20 miles off the coast of Delaware and Maryland to locate future locations for wind turbines to generate electricity. I don’t think you could convince a 6th grader (not a public schooled one) that this is going to be cost...

That’s a good price

" I also have home-owners insurance that should cover any storm damage" WRONG !!

Missed this one …. Beautiful pictures and a oldie but goody
