I now have an anti-fouling paint on my '60 CC Sea Skiff boat. Is it advisable to use a "top side" paint on the bottom? Boat is in the cool waters of Lake George NY for 3-4 months. I would strip off old fouling paint and prime with Interlux 2000E barrier coat then top coat. Would the "top coat" blist...

Hi all! Wondering if anybody out there has any tips on taking apart the gear case on a paragon HF2. Need to replace the "stub shaft" and inner / outer o-rings. Nervous about all the friction discs. The shaft has so much play that it ruins my engine coupling. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks,...

Thanks for the input !

I replaced the deck on my '60 23' Sea Skiff w/ Mahogany ply. It looked great for a couple yrs. Went back to the white vinyl and it looks even better.

Thiokol would still be soft and flexible. At least mine is from 1960. I think it is some type of plastic resin glue similar to "Weldwood" now. Pre epoxy days?

Thanks for the input. I know that the original planks were not glued with 5200 but the laps were.
Thanks again,
Dave

I am talking about the plywood end to end not the overlapping seams of the lapstrake.
