Here is the stupid question of the day... I know I do not have the "GRID" on my model...but, Does my vessel have "stringers" and where are they located? I have searched all around the hull and find nothing that I would consider a "stringer." I want to find these elusive "stringers," (if...

Since I do not seem to be able to find this tank anywhere online, I am wondering if they are still made. Can anyone offer a suggestion. Thanks, David E35-II QuoVadis New Orleans, LA

Kirby.. Thanks for the reply!! I was afraid I was going to have to go the fabrication route, but it looks like that is less expensive than the stock variety... A couple of questions: 1) Do you still have the specifics on the measurements for the shop? 2) Did the make up a stainless unit or...

Hey All... I need a pedestal guard for my E35II 1979. Problem is, all I can find are guards with 9.5inch widths. Due to the design of the 35II, the pedestal sits just aft of the mainsheet traveler on the cockpit "separation" partition. I feel that this prevents the pedestal guard from being...

I am repainting hull/deck this winter and it has been suggested by a professional painter that one can use automotive paint over epoxy primer for a finish as good as marine products but at 1/3 of the product cost. Has anyone had any experience with this process and could you please comment...

Thanks It looks like they have what I need....and plenty of other things as well! Thanks! David

My 35-2 has the bow light setup where there are two separate lights one red, one green...I wnat to replace them, but I am only finding the Bi-colored variety offered on the websites I have visited....Can anyone suggest a source for the Uni-colored variety (or are they obsolete?) Thanks, David

I am replacing the cabinets in the head of my 35-2, and, upon removal of old cabinets, noticed that the drain pan in the floor of the head does not lay flush against the hull...there is a running gap of 1.5in forward down to about .5 in aft. Is this gap there by design, or can I close fill the...

Right On Jarod Epoxy/Col Silica was the answer on my E35-II...no more leaks! Would recommend Don Casey's "Hull and Deck Repair" book....it answered all my questions! Good Luck! David

Thank you! I am going to give these guys a call today.. Looks like a respectable operation...and what a great reason to sail the coast!? Thanks again, David

As a survivor of Katrina here in the municipal harbor of New Orleans, I feel truly blessed that my boat still floats, but am in a bind when it comes to finding a yard in this area that can handle the handful of projects that need addressing. There are few workers and a backlog of work at the...

Thanks for the reply... Looks like I have a job ahead of me!

A local yard has suggested that if I were to remove my teak/holly sole, I would find a solid fiberglass floor...perhaps the teak/holly was a factory option. They also suggest that if I were to decide not to replace the teak/holly, that I could refinish the fiberglass sole and have an acceptable...

Zissou survives in New Orleans! Gareth...and others, Just logging in to report that we are all well and evacuated to Baton Rouge. I went back to NO on Sunday to check the house and it is dry...thank god. We made our way to the harbor to see the burned out remains of the once glorious...

New owner.. finally got enough courage to remove trimwork to expose my main chainplates. Expected to find rotten wood (as most of the bulkhead, port, is rotten at top) but was surprised to find both port and stbd chainplates firmly bolted to 1" of glass tabbed to hull sides. WOW. I was...
