Your smaller sister ship (my E27) also took 2nd in the Portsmouth non-spinnaker class J. The E-boats represented well this year!! :egrin:

Just sent you a PM

I have a 13 gal tank that I was going to put in my E27 but opted for a port-a-potty instead. Let me know if you want it and we'll work out the $$

You can bring some of those rags to my yacht club The oil is now in beautiful Mobile Bay but thankfully not in the river where the Mobile Yacht Club basin is ... yet. We'll see how much longer the Thursday night fun races last :esad:

I'm thinking about putting a hinged shelf in there. I no longer have the Atomic inboard and will probably pull the tank as well. We'll see. The depth is great for the bulky items like fenders. On a separate note -- does your manual bilge pump look like this? The PO disconnected it ... and...

My locker goes all the way to the bilge and is open to the engine (removed by PO) compartment. Needless to say, if you throw something in there, it goes a long. way. down. Can anyone send along pics and designs of the original locker compartment config or any useful modifications?

just replace the parts I just did this on my E27 and it worked great. Go to http://www.jamestowndistributors.com and order replacement toggle switches and fuse holders. No need to build a custom panel.

Best upgrade so far When I bought Horizon's End there was only an overboard discharge. After buying a new holding tank and refurbishing the head, I started looking into plumbing the boat, cutting in the pump-out fittings, vent hoses, sanitation hoses, etc. That was looking like a LOT of work...

It's that time again you guys racing again this year? Randy, I think I followed you out last year. Had a great finish #1 in our old, slow boat class. Hoping for a repeat this year. :egrin:

whoops it occurred to me I never posted shots after the bottom job. i ran out of time and cash for this go round, so the cove and boot stripes will have to wait for the winter. I took the pictures in the yard right after a storm blew through and before the final coat of anti-fouling . . ...

Mobile, AL Mobile Yacht Club on Dog River E27

LOL -- my mind wasn't made up as of the first post . . . and I'm still researching. I've got A LOT to do before I even get to the anti-fouling:egrin:

glass visible I can actually see the glass under several of the blisters and the rest of the paint is very brittle. My plan is to scrape sand everything to the gelcoat or beyond then come back with the 200E, but i think i'm going to go w/ a hard paint w/ slime killer (Trinidad SR) instead of...

bottom diagnosis is not good i finally got the boat out of the water, and on first blush it looked fine . . . however after powerwashing, it turns out there are some big blisters and some goofy epoxy patches. I'm thinking about just scraping it down myself w/ elbow grease and a sander then...

thanks Glyn. she's actually berthed in a river, but i did give the tank a fresh water rinse. didn't think about the hose or filter though. that will be my first order of business today. as for the cracks the are at the bottom of the bilge. it may just be a paint issue
