What size rivets? Thanks!!

When you put the dolphin striker rod in and drop it onto the bar, the new step fits the cross bar perfectly (the curve) however the four rivet holes a...

Here is the old and new to me steps.br /> Edited by kgatesman on Jun 25, 2017 - 07:49 AM.

Drilling out the rivets was easy. I used 3/16 by 1/4 inch rivets.

Cut off the stopper on the end cap? And then the bolt keeps the car from coming off?

I have my aluminum tube handles and balls, and for sure the current line is almost as big as the hole the downhaul passes through. I think some thinn...

I can smoke 'em with my Prindle 18, even when my sails were 25 years old. Smoking 'em means I am probably 30 seconds to a minute faster in a mile tho...

I will sell you a jib and main, you can see them in my gallery under Beachcats People. They are old, but servicable. I highly recommend saving up fo...

Sent him a note, "is it on a trailer?" I could use a trailer for hauling the Vespas. Might have some parts to sell too.

The Blackhawks fan wants to make a Mythbusters style cannon. We could fire 25 lb turkey out of this thing, or even the Packers fan. If I could fin...

$80 15"x10'. Weighs about 150 lbs., fine for my beach tube, but would be heavy on a trailer. Total cost of the project will be about $150. Edited b...

Found a guy selling a bunch of 20"PVC on CL. I want to make sail storage for under my boat at the beach. I am thinking of making plywood ends for i...

I sold my monohull and bought a beach cat. They love it now, it was pulling teeth before, and barfing. On the other boat the rides were slow, long a...

I talked to one of the staff today. The measure was to protect the staff on hazardous days. Well that sucks. They could just not offer the rescue s...

I called Glencoe, they do have rescue services there. The problem is they don't take new registrations until April. So we are all buttoned up and pa...

Thanks for the info Norm. Hope to meet you this summer. I didn't receive the invite. But I got the contract. Go figure. If I was on J24 the chan...

I think it is a legal matter because they are going to continue to operate the rescue boat for rentals and classes. I have an email out to the manage...

Bar Keepers Friend is good for getting blood stains out of your sails too. Not sure what Bar Keepers use it for.

I feel for the guy trading his boat.Edited by kgatesman on Jan 16, 2012 - 05:17 PM.

Rudders cost a lot. If I drive any distance or on roads that are not very well paved, I take them off. I would upgrade to thinner modern low-stret...

havliii I won't argue with you. Having the sails up on the trailer bites, the boat could tip and the sails take a beating. Hanging a Prindle mainsa...

I did this for a year. I had to use a pretty steep concrete ramp. I put the sails up before I went down the ramp. Of course to put the sails up and...

I am looking forward to having new sails, and they will be pretty too, but I will miss my RoyGBivs.

I kept mine on a trailer and used a ramp for a year. Unless you can hoist the sails on the water this sucked. On a Prindle 18 you really need solid ...
