My $400.00 beater boat
Btw, concerning the windshield, I was talking to the guy that runs the local glass specialty shop, and he said if I cared to, he'd send it off to one of his plexi-glass suppliers who also custom refabs stuff and can have it duplicated, but it'd be pricy though. But I didn't ask how much... Yet.

boat is ready!
Just got a call from the boat guy. All new hoses, plugs, spark plug wires, impeller and lube. It's been fogged and ready to mothball for the winter.He even threw another prop in for me to try in the spring. He even said what was on it was a good ski prop but not a cruiser.
Now I'll check the wheel bearings, pull and look the starter over, and get some new tires. Also I want to figure out a battery isolator for it to run two batteries. I'm used to doing that with automotive but not on an outboard. No real trick to it, but different. |

Use something like jeweler's rouge or a soft rubbing compound on a fleece pad and a buffer. |

It's actually live able the way it is. So I'm not gonna put too much effort into it. But...it could be a bit better. |

Went out to Grand Lake yesterday and could hardly see through it due to dust & dirt and residue from salt water last month. Had a sheet of paper towel in my pocket so I leaned over and wet it in the lake and then wiped the windshield. Much better but I'll have to start carrying some mild window cleaner with me. |

Caked on salt still on your boat from last month? And you wonder why it's rotting away on you. Sheeesh! |

I always keep a roll of those blue shop wipers on board. They are handy for all sorts of stuff. For cleaning the windshield a jug of tap water may be as good as anything. Don't be stingy with it. Try to rinse off as much as you can before you start wiping. A little grit can even scratch glass. It is death to plastic. You should have plenty of water on board anyway. |
