    wood and carpet question

    i would like to find some of that gray carpet that is almost like a fuz more than the common loops. i have seen it on other trailers at the local ramps but i think most of them were probably factory.

    aluminum vs steel prop

    i thought so too but it is flared out at the front then goes to the same diameter as the old one. about 1/4" of the rear goes into the l/u as the original did too. i put it on at the shop before i bought it, it spun freely and the shop owner also inspected it, but it is quite a bit larger. i...

    started painting the boat camo

    i wish i would have left it just the olive and black because now i've added the tan and it really changed the look. i'm gonna try to do it over and just use the two colors for the entire boat or use olive as the base then use the tan over some leaves then try the black for depth. it is really...
