I can actually lay beside my engine or on the deck on top. With a stool I stand at the transom or I can kneel on the back seat. Very comfortable to reach and work on almost anything. I like the cost & availability of parts that are not specifically made to fit in a tightly packed puzzle...

I would buy nothing but I/O... not a fan of them drink mixers :) The hinge pin tool is $ 30 ish CDN. not so bad.

The alignment tool is a MUST! I pulled an Alpha One (1st gen) gimble assembly apart on the weekend. You need a special tool for that too.

Well, with all that water it's nice to hear you have some boatin' to do now....

Are those Texas lakes of yours filling up yet?

For automotive use I have been very happy with Maguire's products. I used them exclusively on my classic 72 911 and was extremely satisfied. However, marine use is a different issue altogether. I will be testing waxing products for when my Donzi project needs it.

Yes, what goes around, comes around! I have pushed a few ropes over the years and so, I will not hesitate to help another if I can. Glad to hear it all worked out. Did you give the guy with the battery a slice of PIZZA?

I should also mention that my 2004 GMC Canyon crew cab SLE 4x4 (with the inline 5 cyl.) still pulls this boat like a champ despite it's 287,000 kms (180,000 miles). Every day I drive this little truck I love it more and more.

Hard to believe the boat has been ready for a month and she has not been wet this season. So, despite being rained out on our 1000 Island trip a couple of weeks ago, we finally got out on the water yesterday. Out of the chute things went great. My Greavette was nice and dry in her covered...

Clearly, the residents of Key Biscayne have too much disposable income.... and pay too much in taxes.

Ethanol BAD for marine applications! Imho it's a scam anyways...

I have never used it as you don't wax on wood boats :) However, let us know how it does over time because my DONZI will need some lovin' when she's done.

Well, it's been a busy few weeks. The seams around the Greavette's transom have been re-sealed with 3M 5200 (previously sealed with sikaflex), I did the same resealing along the keel for good measure. Last Saturday, the motor went back in , was summarized and run-in on the muffs. From the...

Hard to say..... Right now we trailer everywhere. We also plan on trailering to points as far away as Florida and maybe Tahoe over the next few years... but, I can trailer my woodyboat too. We are also looking at retiring to a home on the lake. A nice plastic boat I could leave in the...

No news on the project Donzi........... well except for maybe the IMP X246 (see other post) http://forums.endlessboating.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3557

Well, at least we are out of the deep freeze. And that means it's time to get working on my woody boat. Since restoration, I have noticed water in the bilge. This bothers me. The first season it was because we had an overheating problem and the tech ran the exhaust with the exhaust plug out to...

Okay, has anyone ever heard of IMP marine? IMP - Iola Molded Plastics out of Iola, KS. They originally made the "Red Fish" brand of fiberglass boats under contract starting in 1959. When Red Fish boats went under (no pun intended) they made their own brand IMP and by 1971, IMP Boats was a...

I think those are the "old" style manifolds. I don't know if there are any new fitments. I looked up Edelbrock and only could find gaskets.... no alloy manifolds. I would think they are out there but, sometimes you need patience. Are there any boat bone yards near you?

It's a rewarding venture. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted!

NO, didn't paint her green.... Still in storage in Severn Bridge. Much to do in the upcoming weeks. I wish I was going to the Lake Dora, Tavares FLA event with her this weekend!
