Finally got my new Canadian license numbers for the Princecraft Yukon. (
kind off....they tell me the numbers and I have to go buy and apply them) Is a heat gun the best way to remove Tom's Connecticut numbers? |

Just heat them up enough to remove them - don't get them hot - just warm. How's it working for you? |

Be prepared to do a bit of buffing in the area where the CT numbers were applied. You're likely to see the "ghost" of the CT numbers, and you'll essentially have to grind away enough of the aged gelcoat surrounding the part that was protected by the CT numbers to restore an even appearance. |

It's aluminum. Baked enamel paint. The boat was always stored inside and/or covered. The paint didn't fade. |

Old boat I'd use a sander with heavy grit, just so you would fit in with the
basin crowd. Short Wave Sportfishing wrote: On Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:38:53 -0300, "Don White" wrote: Finally got my new Canadian license numbers for the Princecraft Yukon.

I'm setting my sights on something higher...like Mahone Bay...or maybe St. Margaret's Bay. ;-) (wonder if they'd accept me at the Squadron with this boat?) |

I hosed it all down after last weeks run in the salt water of our North West Arm. Guess I'll buy a pair of 'ear muffs' to flush the motor after each salt water outing. I'm surrounded by the sea but it's a half hour drive to any worthwhile lakes. |

I'd better get the muffs though and do it in the street...last week I did it right outside my neighbours window at supper time. (houses 15' apart) |

Get the type that sends water to both sides. For a few dollars more it's worth the added insurance. Dan |

Good so far. He's a fellow sailor who has a Shark stored in a local marina. He may not be pleased that I've drifted over to the 'dark side' with that infernal combustion engine. |
