Interesting ,

I guess I've never seen spam/posts on a website like this .

Strange , the Russian's seem to have a fixation .

Makes me wonder , how secure is this website ?

:shock:

If my progress on the Sea Camper is any indication , there wouldn't be enough hours/days in the weekend to build anything ! ( one step forward , two steps back ) :cry:

As much as I'd like to make the event , I'm still off work and the boat isn't ready yet . Next year for sure .

I was in Lowe's the other day and happened by the carpet section . There was some rugs that were very similar . A little heavier fabric though . Then yesterday at Costco , there was some maybe even closer .

Hmmm...

To be honest , I didn't know what an anchor light was :shock: until I traced the wiring . What got me wondering about the connection was , that the center post where the wires run thru a channel , it almost looked like there had been provisions for contacts where it mated to the deck . The old wire ...

Dan ,

The molding that I took off was slit around the radius of the corners where it fits into the slot .

Running / Anchor Lights

Pulled the windshield off the Sea Camper . I'll have to repair the center rib that the Anchor lite attaches to . Looks like the original wiring was buggered . Was there some sort of contact/connector where the windshield would meet the deck ? I'll probably just use butt connectors below . Just curio...

Red Stain ?

Hi All ,

Trying to come up with red almost orange looking stain for the interior for my Cruisers . Looks original to me . Had a few spots that I sanded thru and some just from wear .

The hull number appears to match the plate that was on the outer hull . #215481 . It has white/beige vinyl on the outer deck w...
