    registration question

    Good Luck....NJ is a PITA state for registration. I inherited a 16' Discovery from a friend who passed away. I had a notarized letter from the executor and a copy of the registration. The boat was never titled in Pa because it was older than the title law. No way I can get it titled in NJ and I...

    Paint sprayers?

    If you haven't already purchased a spray gun go buy a HVLP gun from Harbor Freight. Make sure you have an inline dryer to prevent the inevitable glop of water fouling up your paint job. You should practice using your new sprayer learning to adjust the spray and the paint volume. Spraying on...

    Stuck Seats

    Nice job of getting the old mounts out with minimal damage. If this was my project and the hole was large enough for me to get my hand inside I would coat both the interior and exterior of the mounting area with a sealer like Gluvit. I'd then bolt the new seat mounts in using T-nuts after...

    three new boats

    The trailer is an easy fix. If you can get a bill of sale from the woman you can register the trailer in Maine for 40 bucks. I'm betting the two tin boats were never titled if you can see the registration #s whatever agency in your state can probably trace them back to the last owner and then...

    Plastic Gas Tanks

    Congress is now voting on the E-15 law. Please contact your local senators and congressmen and ask them to vote no on the E-15 expansion law. Boat US has an excellent Email sample available. As to plastic tanks and venting leave it to the EPA to screw things up even further. One chlorinated...
