Thanks Ted. I’m looking at a 6bt 210 with 6500 hrs. We might just get back in the trawler saddle.

Thanks. This one has 25hp 2 stroke Mercury. I would rather have a 15. I would like to eventually trade to a traditional wood rowing skiff. We have some small park lakes close by that we could get more use out of one.

We’re down to just this little skiff. Life is much simpler now. It’s 50 years old, plywood and mahogany. We’ve been getting her slicked up for the summer.

Wood tender Well we have scaled way back. This is the wood tender to our old steel houseboat. I bought a trailer for it and now starting some minor repairs and painting. This should be fun project. I must say it feels good to be down to just this little fishing boat.

Our boat is somewhat being parted out. We sold the boat. The hull and house are going to be used as small cottage on a bank overlooking pond. The skeg, rudder, rudder shaft, prop and prop shaft have been removed. My question is does the Ford Lehman 120 with borg and Warner velvet drive have...

We have our boat on the hard right now. We had the hull below waterline sandblasted (big mistake I think). Had I been there I would’ve stopped the sandblaster and rethought the situation. Anyway we have a hull below the waterline that’s full of 1/4” to 1/2” diameter holes. The hull is 1/8”...

This is a custom built steel houseboat. It was designed and built for traveling the Tennessee River. The boat is in need of a new bottom below waterline. A recent haul out and sandblast revealed to many holes for patch plate job. The boat is at Lee Spry Marine in Iuka Mississippi at the start...

That’s a nice install. Clean set up . Our other boat had reusable hydraulic fittings , handy but still overkill.

Tow boat US said the tow that’s in the area is broke down . I’m kinda stuck so I’m probably going to go go it. I’m going to check on it all day today while at the dock. If everything stays same I’ll head out tomorrow.

I talked with Brian . They are 2weeks out on the hoses. He suggested bypassing filter and oil cooler and use one hose in and out at the oil block on engine . I did this and I’m running 60 pounds oil pressure at 1100 rpm. I cruise around 1400. I have 60 miles left to run. I’m scheduled for haul...

I got the hose off that I think is bad . I don’t see any holes but it has two places where the jacket is bubbled up . I’ve got a call into Brian @ American Diesel. I’m going to replace all three hoses if in stock.

I think I blew an oil cooler hose today. It’s an oily mess right now,I’ll know more tomorrow when I pull the hose . We’re traveling on the Tennessee River. Had to get towed a few miles to Clifton Marina . It looks like a hyd hose with crimped fittings. Is there a chance that a local Napa could...

Welcome to Trawler Forum.

This looks pretty dang good..

Thank you . It’s a 1969 purpose built boat for the Tennessee River.

Semco to me is like Thompson water seal for teak. I think it works best on bare teak.

Nothing

That’s pretty cool. Even though we don’t go anywhere., I like paper charts. Even frame them sometimes.

Thanks !

Ain’t dead yet . Wad up?

Very nice RT . Good luck with the sale.

Welcome to Trawler Forum. Love those Sundowner Tugs.

Thanks man. All is well here. Hope all is good there. I just semi retired about a month ago. We sold our 115 year old house and downsized to a small condo close to Memphis. It was way past time to get back home closer to kids and grandkids. This was my last project in my shop before...
