I've posted the first installment of what I hope will be a "happy" tale
on the Pacific NW Boating site. The item does mention two companies
with which I am doing business, and due to that fact it would receive a
mixed reaction here. I have mentioned my boat project in the past, but
here are some additional details for anybody interested:

Very nice Chuck. Best of luck with the restoration and upgrades.

Question.....why 3 coats of epoxy barrier coat?


Ignored and abused................ :-(

I will give it another go.................why 3 coats of epoxy barrier coat
Chuck?

Have patience, Jim!

I can't answer why Chuck put 3 barrier coats on his boat,
but I can tell you about putting 4 barrier coats on ours.

The recommendation was to put on a coat of straight WEST
epoxy resin, which is kind of a PITA but it sticks to
anything & is highly waterproof itself, then roll on 2 coats
of the barrier coat itself (Interlux's product) which is
also a 2-part mixture. We mixed a can and rolled on 4/5 of a
coat, mixed the next can and finished that plus 2/3 of the
next one... so we mixed a third can and finished the
recommended second coat plus used up what we had... which
oddly enough, was *exactly* the right amount to finish a 3rd
coat.

I figure that we don't have to worry about water penetration
into the laminate of our hull. Unless the guys who wrote
labels for the cans lied, we should be all but bulletproof
below the waterline. I mean, we got titanium & boron!

Any *player* worth his salt carries a good cue. Even shortstops and
railbirds carry good cues today. I have many good cues, Palmer, Black,
Peterson & Martin. Here's one you can verify, Richard Black Buska dated
April 15, 2005. He keeps records of all his cues.

In short.... reality vs. dream sequence.

In fact, I taught my 21 year old son to play 9-ball.... I'll put him
up against YOU any day..... Skipper... if you don't mind being
belittled by a kid that understands substance over form....

I don't mind. I've lost games to Mosconi, Caras, Peterson, Ronnie Allen,
Richie Florence, and a whole host of others. But your son should know
I've played the best at national tournaments and won a couple state
tournaments. Perhaps your son would like a one pocket lesson also.

.... then, if that isn't enough, I'll kick your 9-ball butt....

Have at it. Gabe Owen's dad has a room in Wichita called Tight Pockets.
We can play there with plenty of witnesses when I return from cruising.

only caveat is that you'll have to come clean about your boat and your
boating experiences..... again, form will be chosen over substance
because you don't have anything to offer, right?

What kind of stakes do you have in mind for our little game? Something
of substance I would assume.

You're probably right. The reality, of course, is that any average
player using a house stick would clean Snipper's clock.

You bet!

There's no question that you are da man on Pacific-NW-Boating.

Interestingly enough, Google Groups reports 479 "subscribers" to
rec.boats. Lots of lurkers I guess.

If it takes 479 subscribers to get the couple of dozen frequent
participants we see here, you are right- lot's of lurkers.

Well, I guess you could call me a lurker--I did, in the past, post some.
However, unlike
some of the current regular "participants", such as those who can survey
boats by
looking at a picture, and the prolific "OT" posters, I didn't really have
any new information
to add so kept my mouth shut. Looking at it that way, we would all be
better off
with a few more of the regular posters reverting to lurking.

By lurking occasionally I can keep up on some of the interesting posts, such
as the one starting this thread, "Extreme Makeover".

432 of those are Smithers.

And 17 are you.

He has clearly shown he knows a lot about boats/boating. It the stuff

You have been proven a plagiarizer, and a liar...*YOU* give it up.

Now,
I have a production Parker. It is highly unmodified. I've added
electronics, but everything else is factory stock, and it seems
perfectly suitable for fishing or day cruising. Even has a refrigerator,
flushing head, running water and a stovetop. But the boat is unmodified.

Fantasy mode off;

Skipper is a fraud who appeals only to the other frauds here, like Karen
Smith and that USO gofer, Greenhalgh, who, by the way, I outed a bit
earlier today.

ROTFLMAO! First off, you "outed" no one you moron. Everybody here
knows my name, and where I work...that is all public information.
Don't try to pat yourself on the back, just because you can click a
mouse.

And for you to call anybody a fraud, is the most utterly ridiculous
thing ever to come out of that bird-brained controlled pie hole of
yours!

....sorry...I cant finish...I'm still in a uncontrolled belly laugh...

Why do you think it is that Krause attempts to belittle those he knows
truly walk the talk?
