Re: 23 savage diesel.
Apple to orange comparison, but I run many boats and one has a 210 Cummins in a Nordic Tug 32 and it will run 17 knots and burn roughly 13 GPH, but that's a 15,000lb boat. I would expect the...

Re: Non-Slip cockpit floor paint
Like Chuck I opted for Awlgrip with Griptex and it's easy on bare feet, but provides plenty of grip when wet.

Re: transom height, to change or not to change?
Depending on the jackplate complecity the price will vary. Here is a CMC C-channel "jack plate" that allows 5" of lift to fit a 30" motor on a 25" transom and it's sub $200. This is for one season...

Re: Here We Go Again
Chuck - nice to see you back on the project, it was quiet there for a while. Something caught my eye on the tank inspection - hmmm, looks like an endoscope to me, Olympus maybe? They are wonderful...

Re: Gel-Coat
I sprayed my hull from a pressure pot with Gelcoat, bit not a HVLP and I can find the tip size if needed. Just make sure you have the gun empty and cleaned before it kicks.

Re: Need new non skid deck
I used the peanut can with holes punched in the bottom and it worked great. Since I did some test panels (before the boat) it was very easy to sprinkle an even amount on the decks. This was the...

Re: Need new non skid deck
Tape was pulled up before full cure of the paint, otherwise it will entrap the tape and cause it to tear. The base is Awlgrip 545 with a layer of color, followed with "salt shaking" the Griptex,...

I've heard there was some issues with the Durabak, but those have since been solved. Bobby's boat came out really nice and I ordered some Durabak to sample it, but it did not have the finish I was...
