It was the 70's, the same concept as party vans,
carpet the walls, floor, ceiling, seats, etc.

It is called a closed chock. It is used a lot on blow boats to keep their lines from tangling too much. The top bar is threaded, so you can screw it out and release the anchor. i set it up just far enough back so that I have to pull the anchor tight and just get the screw bar into the chain. It also helps when hauling the anchor because I can keep it closed while I'm hauling the rode, and it allows me to stay farther back in the boat. If need be, I can pull the anchor out while standing at the console, in cases when it is windy and I'm single handed, then I just tie it off to the T-top temporarily.

Just bought a 1984 v20 Fisherman and while it's in really good shape, there is a bit of oxidation on the her. Sounds like Vertglas is just what I need! Anyone have an idea of how well it holds up in Florida weather? Sarasota area to be exact...thanks

Welcome to the site!

You may not get a lot of responses because the thread is 7 years old. But someone did say you need to reapply it every year, just not as many coats on subsequent applications.

Like Poly-Glow, prep and re-apply every year in Florida. I find it works great and keeps hull staining to a minimum. Good luck and post a picture..

Note: A few folks have had an allergic reaction to Poly Glow as I recall. Wear gloves and follow the label. Welcome aboard

If Ridge likes it for the Florida sun, it must be pretty good stuff, cuz he's sportin' around in one of the "purdiest" V20s on the planet!!
