Dave - Thanks for that site - I'll take a look. Last night I looked at some trolling deep cycle batteries. They were quite small and more like a motorcycle...

Yes, it definately did. While I've never done it before, I can definately see that it would have been quite a chore if we'd had to heave-ho it. ... raising...
You can buy a stirrer that you chuck up in your drill for pretty cheap at Home Depot. They come in 1 & 5 gallon sizes. I have a paint can lid with a hole and a...
What was not stated here was that the first attempt was foiled by not haveing the pins for the shrouds, trip to West Marine $$$$ and the second time, there...
Since seeing that great hoist, I've been trying to figure out how to put one in my backyard temporarily since I am going to have to put my mast up and down a...
Just a note on bottom paint: If you plan to trailer the boat or store it out of the water at all make sure the paint is of the type that can be left dry...
I really didn't look at it very close but I will tell you what I do know. The system has a boom it the top of a pole lets say 25'-0" OFF at the top of the pole...
Chris- Please do take some pics of that hoist and boom. I can tell better what you are describing if I can see pictures. Thanks. George #18 Spaghetti...
plans ? specs?? if you find any let me know. I just got done with a restore and I never heard of any around. What you need to know you can find out right here...
I looked at a San Juan 24 yesterday that was for sale and had not been in the water for at least 6 years. It appeared to be in great shape, just in need of a...
Looks like a little too much weight was supported at the stern. The front pads look to be just forward of the forward bulkhead, and are probably ok. I'd be...
Gil - I set up my pump the other day and have a slight dissapointment. It leaves a lot of water in the bilge because when it stops, all the water in the hose...
My understanding is that the weight of the boat should be supported by the keel, and the stands should just keep the boat from falling over. The stands should...
Just general impressions from having been around boats a lot, not expert opinion, but my opinion nonetheless... The boat looks nice. Take a screwdriver and tap...
I have the same issue with my SJ24 when on the trailer. I held concern for the indention when I purchased in 1995 as the boat was on a trailer at the time....
About that SJ24 with the deformation. From what I can see from the picture, it is on the portside where the port cockpit locker is so seeing the inside is no...
I guess the way to find out about this boat would be to move the jack stands and see what happens. If the dent remains, see if you can push the dent out from...
Thanks to everyone for the responses. I did the "tapping screwdriver" test on the outside when I saw the boat on Saturday and everything sounded solid. The guy...
I'm sure you're right - it was the incline that caused the indent. No matter how carefully constructed, no cradle will ever hold the boat as well as the water....
Dents are a common occurrence on SJ21s because they sit on trailers for long periods of time. They usually spring back once they are in the water. I don't...
When we put the Chick on the trailer to go to OKC The front jack stands were let down lower than the rears, the keel was setting on its edge towards the rear...
Mark, I have a question? When I tap the cabin floor with the handle of a screwdriver most of the floor sounds like a deep low thud...one some area about 4"...
It could be a couple of things... the core may still be there, but the fiberglass could have detatched from the core. There is a good chance that the core is...
BTW, as the "Manager" of this yahoo group, it does not in any way imply I am an expert in the SJ-24 and its particulars... it just means I get to delete any...
There is a detailed file "how to" repair the cabin sole in the file section of the group site. The article will also mention the construction of ribs. It was...
