Re: Althouse back yet?

I have ordered 3 shafts and the dripless logs for the Bertram from Deep Blue Yachts as well and was equally happy in dealing with them. The have a great site and quite a few things you don't see just everywhere. Real boat people.

I just finished doing mine last week. Took it to bare and give it 4 coats of interlux interprotect 2000E and I wanted to try using the newer pacifica plus by interlux but realized I had already bought Trilux 33 last fall and was not about to shelf the 33 and buy something else. I had recently talked...

I just relaunched last Sat, and got 37 with 80 to 100 gallons of fuel and a good a...
