'03 22 Cruiser Work in Progress

My boat had the same issue though the wet core was not extensive.
I drilled test holes till dry core was found and was able to remove most of the wet core.
I taped off the holes except for the end ones as they were pretty much in a line.
I got an aquarium air bubbler pump to move air through there for most of the summer. The sun got the core nice and warm and the air movement did the job of drying the core.
I filled the core with an epoxy-microballoon mix and the holes with a stronger epoxy-Cab-O-Sil mixture.

Check the aft sides of the cockpit over the chines, I found some wet core there too.

Of course the window latch went flying into the drink

See all the threads regarding same

Remarks are pretty funny

Think my favorite was "they never fly off when the boat is in the driveway"

Never had nearly as much trouble buying a boat as I did this one

Dealer never could get the motor to run correctly

And it took multiple sea trials before I even agreed to take it

First thing I did was take it to the Honda Dealer and have it gone through

OK, so that's no bid deal; nothing I didn't expect already

But,

Noticed tonight when I got my new sticker and trailer tag
that the trailer is not the one on my registration.

Totally different year and manufacturer

Yes, I certainly learned another lesson with this one

Pay better attention

Of course I would have checked it over if I was purchasing directly from the owner

But the dealer actually ordered the tag and registration and had them sent to me in the mail.

Actually figured out the wash-down pump

Was looking for it to be hooked to the auxiliary switch on the dash but no...

Switch was under the gunnel and in turn, under the hose

Right where I initially looked but was too blind to see

Suppose working in the sun helped

Now for a spray nozzle...

What do y'all think about this one?

hardee · Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2020 10:37 pm Post subject: change the size

Great spray nozzle! I could only imagine getting shot by the P.D. while washing my boat. Razz

Not a computer geek here either, so not sure what you are doing.

But, IF, you are copying from enlarged pix, like off Amazon they will come over to this site enlarged. Sorry, not much help here, but maybe try just copying from the thumbnail pix, not enlarging it to look at first... Neutral

Also, try looking at the "Preview" button before hitting the Post button.

Just trying to help here.

I'd be careful about using that nozzle anywhere. People have been shot for having less likely suspects in their hands than that, justifiably.

Got home from nine days out and about with the 22 cruiser

Performed flawlessly

Even ran into my fiberglass guy and now it's just a matter of
pinning him down long enough to get the floor patched...

and the roof re-gel-coated; has a thin spot where maybe a dingy was riding.

And, there's no way I would ever buy such a ridiculous item as that spray-gun
