    Wanted: rosborough boats

    My brother in law has one in NH. Outboard motor. He likes it for day cruising around Great Bay (or whatever its called). For overnights, he has something quite bit larger.

    Just Arrived In Longboat Key For Two Months

    For a short two months stay not sure if that would be worth the hassle of trying to unload it. But a good thought for a longer stay.

    Just Arrived In Longboat Key For Two Months

    question: brass polish

    One word of caution on using Flitz. It does contain abrasives. I used it for 30 years on an old Seth Thomas clock and barometer that I inherited, which were evidently brass plated, not solid.

    Chrome finish with spray paint?

    Powder coat is great, and the way I'd go now. But on our last boat, before I "discovered" powder coating, I prepped, primed and painted our searchlight white. Cheap and easy and re-painting when needed is no big deal. Looked good, unless you need the shiny bling.

    Examining boat bottom with GoPro

    That should do it. Plus a few PVC elbows (45 and/or 90 degree). :)

    Have you cleaned your Prop lately?

    Have had a different experience with the Pettit Prop Coat here in Downeast waters. Before I started using it three years ago, there would be an extended family of barnacles on our prop on fall haul out. Since I started using it, have had almost nothing on the prop on haul out.

    Interesting boats

    Mainers are tolerant. Sometimes they overlook serious birth defects.

    Interesting boats

    I absolutely love wooden boats. But after owning and maintaining this one for 23 years I had had enough. If either: a) I had enough money to pay a yard to maintain her or b) I had the energy that I had 30 years ago to maintain her myself, then I would still have her.

    How does one

    Be very, very careful what you wish for. Once you enter you may wish you hadn't. Some have gone there out of curiosity and never returned the same. But if you must: Go to the Off Topic Forum. Then, from there, go to OTDE.
