Use 600 wet/dry grit followed by 1000 wet/dry grit followed by rubbing compound. Doctor Bob is the absolute best authority on that so if he differs from my technique definitely follow his lead. I would also consider starting out with 400 grit on the worse ones and working through to 1000 using...

Hey Scott, Here's a suggestion for the C-16's anyway. I forgot what the C-22 area in front of the helm is like but I bet it could use a replaceable Starboard pad for electronics too. Oh, and I found a place down here that uses and sells Starboard. I didn't know that Starboard comes in colors...

Congratulations on the new boat! Lots of threads on towing the C-22. Personally I've used a Chevy Duramax 2500HD, a Toyota 4Runner, a Toyota Tacoma, and a Class C RV very successfully towing the Jenny B. All 2 wheel drive. In your steep slick situation I'd probably lean toward a 4wd 6 cyl...

Thanks guys. All one has to do to lower the shelf is to unscrew the legs, cut them shorter, and reinstall a little further back. I started out at the highest point since it's easier to shorten than lengthen legs. :lol: There's also a couple of hidden "pockets" under the shelf that can be...

Many Brats put a piece of starboard on their transom so they can experiment with transducers etc. without constantly filling old holes and drilling new ones. I'm like that about electronics. Never totally satisfied, I like to experiment but after seeing and filling'/matching dozens of holes...

Well I sure as heck hope someone who attends will videotape Scott's seminar and make it available to those of us who can't go! Some people are adept at picking up techniques and procedures by reading and studying. I'm not one of those! If a picture is worth 1000 words, a videotape would be...

Valley Center is the tulies? Too hot and too dry for those. Especially today, Boris. Don

I ran into those thin areas on both the Jenny B and the C-Brat. I didn't get specially thickened gelcoat - when I needed it I added a thickening agent. The only difference between your procedure and mine is that I used an artist brush NATURAL BRISTLE ONLY and "painted" then tipped the area...

Actually, Dan, the traditional Panga has been around decades before a US manufacturer improved the design and started building them here in the US. We see them all the time down here and especially around Ensenada. No biggie. Even the Mexicans are buying their fiberglass Panga hulls from China...

Nice boat, but I really liked the liner. We call 'em blondes in Southern California. Don

Well, it could be that you don't fully understand the Brat site. This is the third rather cryptic thread you've started on here re: the Panga trade, starting with this one followed by this one and now this topic. So here are a few suggestions: 1) Add a fairly complete description of what...

Oops, when you move the photos to a nested album the properties change and you can't edit. Here are the former photos. Don

Been busy learning how to repair gelcoat, fill screw holes, fill unwanted holes, fill dings and assorted polishing techniques. Since I can't make it up to Scott's seminar I bought the DVD and spent some time scouring the internet for videos and how to stuff. Quart of Spectrum ivory and a...

Your rare moment apparently arrived. The one on sale is WiFi only. Click on the link Charlie. I suppose I could "need" one but it means reading the manual. OBTW, is the manual on the Kindle? Sort of self defeating, no? To plagarize Bart Simpson: You know, boys, a Kindle is a lot like a...

Amazon has the WiFi only Kindle on sale for $139. Now that might tempt me. Luddite Don
