homer1958, for all your yapping, I notice you have no comments about how horribly mistaken the galvanic series is. The fact of the matter is that...
Trust homer1958's opinion or trust the scientifically determined galvanic series and do some regular maintenance (i.e. a shot of grease to the...
Excellent! Definitely post pix! I agree--800 miles is a long haul to go work on the old girl. That's love, man.
No need to get your panties in a wad, Homer. If my rubrails were ever fully immersed in sea water for extended periods of time, galvanic wasting...
Design flaw or inadequate maintenance? Did your original logs receive a few shots of grease at least once at the beginning of each season?...
If you don't remove or at least drop the port rudder down and scrub out the white powder (AlO3) that's filling the space between the rudder shaft...
Aggressive oversight by a certain admin or two, perhaps? Well, and Redman losing his data.
Alternatively, Jim Reed... If you look at where any stainless sits on the galvanic series, you'll see that all of the common marine grades are...
Has anybody heard from Redman recently? I got the impression he lost interest in this after the server crashed and he lost all his data. Or...
That's a different thread on a different forum. ;-)
Good looking boat, but why on earth would anybody plumb exhaust so that the pulses from opposing banks on a V engine bash into each other head-on?...
Acellist, the NW winds in DC would rip that tarp to shreds in a week, and the snow load would snap those 1.5 x 3.5s in no time. I'm...
That's funny, given the noble history of American and European whalers. It's amazing, the hypocrisy of the groups that almost wiped whales off...
Pix? Mine's an aluminum/steel frame and it is structural. I, too, have to remove it to replace the glass.
Lotsa technical info on stainless... But AFAIK, all aluminum Roamers came with plain steel tabs. If you look at the galvanic series in seawater,...
True, dat. Wooden boat technology might transfer to fiberglass, but only a fool would put brass in the wettest part of the bilge of an aluminum...
So, would this be his first boat? If so, does he have experience driving metro buses on ice? If he does, he'll probably understand how these...
Some women just have no sense for adventure. Pre-disastered is pre-disastered...that's just fundamental. lol
Dang...that thing looks great in the pix. Very well outfitted. And the price...just a few years ago that would have been a half-million dollar...
Why? To quote from The World According to Garp, "We'll take the boat. Honey, the chances of this boat sinking again are astronomical. It's been...
