    Trailer title not notarized - Pennsylvania

    They do recognize homemade trailer's but I read that it is **** near impossible to do. Someone has told me that they require the receipts from the parts. What makes it so frustrating is that since I have the plates on it, I can log onto the DMV website and renew but there is no way to change...

    Trailer title not notarized - Pennsylvania

    Hi guys, This may seem like a stupid question and I'm sorry for that but I was wondering if you guys can help me out with an issue I’m having with registering my boat trailer in Pennsylvania. This was my first boat/trailer purchase; I'm new to the area and decided to get into fishing which I...

    2 seats with floatation -- Where should I put them?

    I attached photos of what I plan on doing. I think I'm going to keep them in the middle and the front as pictured. I feel that my front casting deck would be much more supported with it resting on the two front seats rather than just one. Also, the framing would be substantially simpler and I...

    2 seats with floatation -- Where should I put them?

    That makes a lot of sense. I'll probably have to use the middle seat and somehow lengthen it to fit since the stern since it's wider. Have to figure out how I'm going to do that before I start the rebuild.

    2 seats with floatation -- Where should I put them?

    I have a 14 foot MirrorCraft Deep V. When I bought it, it only came with 2 seats (middle and front with what looks like solid flotation) and had a piece of wood for the back seat (picture attached. My question is where should I put the seats keep the structure and integrity of the hull? Should...

    Please help - Quick Gluv-it prep question

    I just wanted to seal the floor. I noticed a few leaks when I filled it with water the first time. I Gluv-it those and then decided to just do the entire floor for preventative purposes. Which began the tiring prep process... I tried not to over think it to much. 1. I stripped the interior...

    Please help - Quick Gluv-it prep question

    Do you think I can get away with not power washing it? I called MarineTex and asked them and they said I should be fine by just shop vacing the dirt and debris and wiping the areas down with acetone. Not too sure how i feel about that though

    Please help - Quick Gluv-it prep question

    I'm preparing to apply Gluv-it to the interior of my hull and I already sanded the ribs and rivets with a wire brush. My plan was to just use a shop-vac to get all the sanding debris and dirt out of the hull and then wipe it down with Acetone where I'll be applying the Gluv-it. My question is...

    Paint stripper over gluv-it

    I decided to strip my boat but there was a coat of gluv-it on it. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? I plan on applying a new coat of gluv-it over it and over all the ribs and rivets. I applied airplane remover and then power washed it, what should be my next step? Remover worked well, but...

    Gluvit prep question

    I will do that. Just worried because for one of the spots where I applied gluv-it I didn't prep too well. Just went over some of the rivets with a drill bit sand wheel, cleaned with acetone and applied it. Even tipped the boat to make sure it got in the seams (I hope). Anywho, I mixed too much...

    Acetone wash?

    Scott, How is yours progressing? Did you decide to remove all your paint?

    Gluvit prep question

    What did you use? Did you strip it with airplane stripper and then hit the rivets with the sander? I went to HomeDepot and picked up some of those wire brush drill heads, would this work?

    Gluvit prep question

    Hello all, I had a quick question regarding Gluv-it. I already applied a small amount to the interior of my hull where I had some suspecting leaks but decided to just apply it over all the ribs and rivets (should have done this the first time). My question is do you have to remove ALL existing...
