Sorry another dumb question. How do I add a picture of my boat to my profile? So when people click on the boat name they see a pic. I apologize if I am missing something obvious.

Thanks for the advice. I will get a buffer and start the long wait until spring. I did do a little wet sanding with 1000 grit and things looked hopeful. I bought the boat late in the season here so will research this topic all winter as freezing weather sets in up here. Brad

Hi Jason, Any hints on how to clean the hull? Previous owners have not cleaned in awhile. The gell coat is pretty oxidized. I did some experiments with 1000 grit sand paper which worked pretty well on a small section. I wold love to get that burgundy color to shine again. I’ll research...

Hello all, Thanks for the suggestions. Now that I know how to properly search the site I see quite a few options for the forward bulk head ( moving it forward, putting it on a hinge, making a drained anchor locker). Will think about it all winter while we wait to go boating again in April or...

Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. I see a very faint outline on the floor of the old seat position on the port side. The previous holes have been well filled or covered. I am thinking about what kind of seats I want- possibly a seat with a back to back passenger seat- keep hearing about...

Hello all, I was impatient, didn’t go below to the non-sponsored search links. My fault, now finding exactly what I am looking for. Amazing site. I’m picking up a lot of ideas for my “new” 2004 16’ Angler. Brad

Another newbie question. How do I search this site? I’m having no luck with the “enhanced by Google” search bar. So much knowledge here I’d like to access. I get to specific C-Brats posts more easily out of the site than within. Brad

Another silly question from a newbie. Where does the water that gets into the anchor locker area drain? Wet anchor ropes and possible windlass leak would seem to me to keep that area moist much of the time. The rug in the cabin was a little damp from this. Does anyone put a door in that...

Thanks Marty, I’m away from the boat right now but will check. Good idea about taking out one screw on the starboard side. The previous owner said it was a Todd seat which looks like I can get easily. Brad

Hello all, new owner over here in New England. I want to add an extra pedestal seat on the port side of my boat ( for my wife). Previous owner just had open space for fishing cooler. I will be using it more to cruise. I want to know what is the best way to attach a new seat to the...
