    E-25 1980 spotted on ebay

    1980 E-25 on ebay Just a check it out note. These are pretty capable little boats. I have no ties to this boat, just spotted it and thought hope someone picks this up. If I didn't have two boats I think I'd bid on this...

    So our fuel tank is not 80 gallons !

    Time to create a fuel log. I always kept a fuel log; especially when on a new boat, or new to me boat. I always wanted a log that would relate to the fuel gauge, so I kept a log with entry’s every hour. This will also tell you how the amount of fuel used will relate to the drop in the tank, as...

    Stairs vs. Engine

    I think someone has made a new engine cove that's taller and longer. There is something about that cover that just doesn't look original.

    38 kid's table

    I solved this by using a slide bolt under the table edge. One on each side. I first did the screw in bolt thing but it was a pain to deal with. Lots to choose from.

    Half or split hinges ?

    Your door is a lipped or rabbet type door. Finding a take apart or lift off hinge that will work on this door is hard. I own a custom woodworking shop and I took a quick hook at some of my hardware catalogs. I didn’t find anything in a size that would work. I’m sure someone someplace makes a...

    Freezing Dacron

    David, I don’t think you should be concerned about the cloth. Most of the new hi-tech fibers like Dacron don’t absorb water. Having done a lot of Ice climbing and winter camping, our ropes and clothing have gotten soaked while climbing during the day and then frozen solid at night with no...
