Re: soda blasting
 

hey splinter, what'd ya hit the lottery?

Re: soda blasting
 

Hey Lumber,

I am no expert, but that thing seems to be hanging off the back of the trailer a little to far. I have the same Venture single axle trailer, and I moved the pulpit up about a foot closer to the front. Just MHO :-/

Re: soda blasting
 

Noticed the same thing C.Y.

Re: soda blasting

Re: soda blasting
 

See what, the picture is cut in half. Cant see how far off your boat exstends off teh rear of the trailer. ???

Re: soda blasting
 

see how far I slid the pulpit up on the trailer ;)

Re: soda blasting
 

Cy, he has a lighter motor than you :o :o :o :-*

Re: soda blasting
 

I think the issue is, it's not good to leave that much of the stern unsupported. Your bunks, rollers should be all the way to the stern, or at least darn close.

Re: soda blasting
 

I agree, but I went years like his and never had any issues.
But made sure I got it right whenI got th new trailer.

Re: soda blasting
 

that is the point I was trying to accomplish.....Thanks Air ;) ;D

Re: soda blasting
 

Hey Lumber, back on topic, how many samolians are they taking from you to soda blast?

Re: soda blasting
 

Hey parih they want 25 dollars a foot , and Ill repaint it my self

Re: soda blasting
 

cy I leave it in the marina till november 15 th,,,,, it would look pretty tho

Re: soda blasting

Re: soda blasting

Re: soda blasting
 

make sure you get some pics when she is naked ;D

Re: soda blasting
 

cy you can count on it ;D

Re: soda blasting
 

You gonna under coat it with Interlux barrier coat before painting ?

Re: soda blasting
 

Square or linear?

Re: soda blasting
 

paint wth gloss paint after, wax well and go faster!! ;)

Re: soda blasting
 

Linear ft.

Re: soda blasting
 

$25 per linear ft really is not that bad,
20 x 25 = 500, well worth the agravation factor.

If it where square, that would be a different decision all together.

Re: soda blasting
 

...and burn less fuel ;) ... let 'em paint it for $500... ;D ...


Didja find yer rub-rail?? ... :D ...

Re: soda blasting
 

linear

Re: soda blasting
 

I thought about lettin em paint it he said for 9 bucks a foot he'd do it but I think Iam gonna do it cause I doing two coats of barrier coat and two layers of bottom paint ...oh and I did find a bunch of different rub rails I just have to make sure my new braided rope is gonna fit
thanks again reel for the info
