Safetythird, in answer to your earlier question about the rod holder, it's a Fish On brand, came with the boat

Marco, by the way, I saw an old post you were involved with about roof condensation, and microballoons in paint. Any updates on that? sounds very interesting. We have a lot of condensation, as we do with our adjacent metal carport roof. For the carport roof, we're interested in a product...

thanks everyone, got some epoxy flowed into those holes today. Now researching how to make a light weight fuel tank container that can slide in and out, and also how to move the battery to one of the seatboxs. So thankful for all of the resources here on C-Brats!

thanks Marco, all too familiar with the air flow needs in a damp environment! So we have a half poor man's cover for the coming rain, while we continue to work on the canvas cover - hard to do with it raining :) The tarp has actually kept it quite dry inside, and so easy to get in and out of.

Poor man cover

Roamad, I don't think wood put down with machine screws was a factory install :) I'm curious why you would want to put wood down in the bilge area?

A previous owner screwed down wood containments for the battery and gas tank in the deck in the bilge area on our 16'er, about 10 in all. Just regular phillips screws :) We've taken them all out (some not without some effort since they were rusted), and we got some wood dust on a few, but it...

So, I think we're going to sell the Lehr 9.9 propane kicker (just too much to think about a locker, venting,etc.), and get a new Tohatsu or Mercury 5 or 6hp gas kicker. Since fueling in the harbor here is problematic, if nonexistent, we can have two 3- gallon gas tanks and carry them to the...

johnr, yes, we have a full canvas cover (see photo above filling our living room) from motor to anchor from Angola from 2011 - it even has a tag on it with the person's name on it who made it and a smiley face, just found that, kind of cute :) But it was really really neglected, with moss even...

thanks, yes I see online that Tenara is quite expensive, although probably worth it. Going to get out the old sewing machine :)

thanks, Marco, but for a kicker to get us home from 1 to 2 miles out in the ocean, not sure this is feasible considering the extra batteries just for a kicker, etc. ?

So did a try in of a dam for the front of the box seats out of a piece of vinyl garage door seal that has about a one inch flexible piece on the bottom that can be sealed to the deck, then I think we'll just keep the space between the top of that and the bottom of the seatbox top for airflow...

Safetythird, don't know, will look tomorrow and let you know :)

We don't really want it open in the back, but that's why we're doing a semi temporary closure until we know for sure. We always have heavy condensation around here, so water builds up anywhere possiible :)

Thanks Marco, good idea, we're starting down that road until we build a roof over it. Is the PVC just to keep the tarp away from the boat surface?

Thanks Bob, today I bought a 10x12 tarp and put it up to annoy the neighbors for a few days :) Actually, if I cut it to fit it might be serviceable for a bit, easy to get in and out of as we work on the boat over the winter. At the same time, I've decided to cut up the original cover that came...
