Pete - Thanks for the web site link, I was unaware of this resource. I appreciate the help and quick response. There sure is a big range between the highest...

Larry: I am curious as to why PHRF-LO rates the 28-1 and the 28-II the same. There is a considerable weight difference (1000#)between the 2 boats with the...
Carter, We use SnoBowl toilet bowl cleaner and bronze wool. Wear gloves. Be patient. Works fantastic. I put it on, let it foam up for a few minutes and work...
If you have the router kit, you are all set. if not, use a carbide shaft and do not force it as it will overheat and then snap. Or you could drill a couple...
