    Rubrail end cap missing (CC23)

    When your talking about stock parts from limited or low production boats you just have to remember the rolling stones. " you cant always get what you want, but it you try real hard, you just might find, you can get what you need" close enough is a life style I fully embraces.

    Re-Bedding Fixtures and an Apology

    4200 if you not sure you want it there and may move it. 5200 if you now you want it there for ever. Regardless of which you use make sure you ruff up the glass surface first. Other wise the 5200 or 4200 might not bind as well as it should. I tape off the area, sand it some, clean with alcohol...

    Friday Harbor

    only problem with Blaine when we used it is the wind. Not at Blaine but in the Strait of Georgia. If that wind is blowing at all there is no where to hide from it. 30 miles of open water for that swell to build. We had to play the waiting game in the Gabriola island area because the wind and...
