bottom job Fred, Back in feb. I posted pics of work done to my '84 35MKIII. I had the bottom peeled because of blistering all over. I have owned the boat for 3 yrs and know it came from fl,sc which is always warm water. My surveyor when purchased said minor blistering at the waterline and not...

35 MK3 rub rail Hi All, I have been working on the replacement of the old aluminum rub rail this winter and have chosen a rail produced by Barbour Plastics in MA. We will cut down the depth of the rail by 1/4" to 3/8". I have not decided what adhesive will work best but a thought is to use 3M...

Christian, That is the same rubrail I had on my 1984 35mk3. Did you have an outward flange of the hull/deck connection or did you grind off this flange to be able to use the rub strake you posted in your pics. Any pics of the new rail? At the AC Boat show today I did measure the rigid vinyl...

Appreciate the input. I have noticed the New Catalina rub rails look interesting and will dig deeper on that idea. Here pics showing where this job got started and where I'm at today with it. Spring is not far away and I need to find that perfect rubrail. Look at the # of blisters, which lead...

My '84 E35III needed a new paint job, the old dark black/burgundy just was not my style. I decided Ocean Gate Yacht Basin, located in Bayville, New Jersey was the yard who would do all the needed work. I'm in the marine canvas business and know this yard well. I've seen plenty of boats leave...
