Thanks BGREENE I have similar routine, only I got a lot of smooth gelcoat on the inside that likes the hand rubbed type wax.
RWilson,
I never seen that picture before. Fat guys know how/when to eat/cook. I think the Barnagat Light Rally is beyond my scope, going south later in the month.. Lobster Mini Season last week of July in the Keys.
Not to hi-jack again BGREENE, thanks for sharing, that boat looks nice.
I know a lot of seat frames are plywood. I had a few Wise boat seats that were 5/8" plywood. They rotted out in 5 years and spent most of the time under a boat cover. Purchased the same seats with the plastic base and back. No need to worry about rot but they were so weak and flexible I tore them apart and put 3/4" PT Plywood back in them. Used the stainless steel t-nuts I purchased in bulk for cheap, now when they rot I can simply remove the upholstry, unscrew the hinges instead of drilling the heads off to get my pattern.
Not sure which way your gonna go there, just saying plywood sometimes has its place. I treat it as a maintenance item, haven't found a better solution.
I would service that motor, grease/inspect the bearings and go use her.
