Replacing original Lunasea spreader with a newer model that fits the same holes.

Old cable and bracket from original spreader light.

Canvas washing and treating with 303.

Decided on 4200 for the snap studs. Just enough to fill the threads and squeeze out the rim. Cleans up nice with a toothpick after it sets for 15-20 minutes. Still wondering what to bed the bench seat top with, Sikaflex or butyl?

Threads sealed with 4200.

New screw snaps sealed.

Hello Brats, long time no-C. My apologies for not contributing in awhile. With close family losses both young and old, life for us has been a blurry mess, put on pause since my last post in 2020. "Man makes plans, God laughs", as grandma would've say. Anyway, I recently got back in the saddle...

Removed canvas snaps and frame attachments before wet sand/compound/ceramic coat.

Removed everything to make it easier to replace both 4yr-old start batteries. Still need to scrape the old bedding off before resealing.

I was just talking with the wife last night about making a big move and selling our 2018 Tomcat as well as the 3/3 home and dock down in Stuart, FL. I still have a few projects to finish up before getting it detailed and ready for sale, and I'm in no rush with Florida's current covid numbers...

Quoted below from a previous thread. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=23000 Lots of different and creative ideas buried across the board and in c-brat galleries. We still need to decide between the rooftop A/C, solar panels, radar arch, kayak, and/or dingey, before figuring out what rack...

Finally decided on placement for the bow cleats and ladder. Drilled, cored, and filled with Six Ten thickened epoxy. (All credits to Dr. Bob and Dr. John's advice and tips.) Coated the aluminum backing plates with self-etching primer to hopefully cut down on the galvanic corrosion with the SS...

Marked for drilling.

Used a piece of 5/4 decking as a template and as a guide to keep the bit at a 90 degree angle to the surface.

1/4 aluminum backing plates for the cleats and ladder.
