Plywood is ok for now but you should look for a long term fix. "Done right done once!". Composites are best for now. Nothing will last longer and be more reasonably priced than Marine Starboard. for cosmetic panels.

Whoever you decide on make sure they are USCG certified fuel tank builders. Also ask GW Customer Service for a drawing. It will include all dimensions in baffle locations.

The wing window glass is the same but the hinge is different. The glass is a laminated "school bus" glass. It is not tempered. The glass shops don't like to drill the hole for the window pull handle. Too close to the edge and glass may crack. I had wings fabricated and tempered. Much stronger...

Rolling is OK to ship but get them out of the box and flat like they will be on the boat. I would store them flat separated by sheets in a warm spot inside.

Inspect the transom.

Take a flexible metal or heavy plastic strip, slide behind the bolster and slide it along left to right. You should find a screw hidden in the upholstery.

Fraudulent fraud department calls have been happening in the last two years. They are very good and could easily work for the bank in a ligitement role. You get a text message of a fraud charge on your account. Then you get a call. Calling numbers "spoofed" to look legit. Chum it up with you...

Dredges and all the teasers are primarily for white marlin fishing on the east coast. We do get big blue marline in on them as well. I know the South Florida guy fish them for sailfish. Most of the top guys in FL come up to NJ, VA and Outer Banks, NC in the summer to work the tournaments. The...

I ran the cockpit on a friends boat for all the big tournaments in Midatlantic region. MA 500 and WMO for the last 15 years. Custom 56' F&S Sportfish "Nasty Habit" with unlimited budget. Competing against the top boats in the region if not in the world. This is an unlimited heavyweight...

My builder is SP Tanks in Clermonte, NJ. You will have a shipping expense problem with anyone. See if there are boat builders in your area. It may be worth a trip down to Steuart or the area around Miami to pick one up. GW Customer Service may be able to send you an engineering drawing of your...

NewWire is a great choice for a switch panel upgrade. I did mine last year.

Sorry about all the clutter. I re-covered my existing foam with a SailRite Covington Riad Denim 58" Fabric. Also did backrests. This fabric has a soft hand, durable and easy to sew. It's not cold like vinyl. I used a SailRite machine which is medium duty - you could likely use a decent home...

I bent mine last year. After hours of hard work by my experienced Yamaha mechanic he finally gave up on getting the shaft out. The lower unit was scrapped. I bought a new OEM LH lower unit for my F150. Apparently this is a common outcome.

I agree North-up without a heading sensor will work fine for finding a wreck. The bow direction of the boat icon on the screen won’t be accurate when you crawl up to the wreck but that’s ok. It’s a great fix for a fisherman.

I always run North-Up now on my Garmin units. That will prevent chart plotter from spinning. I guess the radar too. The boat will spin though. And how do you know where North is without a compass? That encounter I had above was 30 years ago with my Egg Harbor after nighttime fireworks. Got...

The GPS can guesstimate your heading accurately by looking at your COG - course over ground. Problem is when moving slow - maybe you are fogged in somewhere and in a current - maybe trying to get thru a bridge. Your chart plotter map will spin around and be useless and dangerous. Same with...

My live well and bait tank pumps are Rule pumps. They screw into the clamshell pickup that may have a wash down pump on it now that can be re-connected to the side port. They are cartridge style pump available in 500, 700 and 1000 GPH. For a tank that size I would use the 700 or 1100 - depends...

Not clear from photo what you are really looking for. I assume it's that black plastic strip. I second Marine Glass Specialties.

Is this for topside exposed gelcoat? That FL sun will bleach it out. You are in a good area though. Ask around to find a good pro and have them do it.

It's difficult to work on the holding tank on my 268 Islander. Not familiar with your boat but given it's smaller it doesn't get easier. These rubber hoses are very hard to work with in confined spaces where most work must be done with one hand. The macerator project I did I used silicone hose...
