Looks great! Did you have to do any buffing or polish to get brush marks out, or did it just flow out that well? Very nice result regardless! :clap:

Found another cool one in Eugene, OR. 19' Sport/Race "P-Cat" Pacific Catamaran, FAST - $2550 (Eugene near 1-5) Looks like a neat concept but no...

Hobie 20 in Eugene, OR. $4500. Looks like it's in pretty good shape from the pictures. It's been posted for awhile so the price may be a little more...

Dosn't seem to be a real correlation, in most cases the boat manufacturer has the sails made by some one else and I doubt that much attention was paid...

Nice, glad you found some that worked. To bad your so far north, I've been dying to meet someone with a SOLCAT in the area so I can check out their s...

I'm way late posting on this but just in case your still fiddling with this issue, I have two options for you. 1. I have my old inspection port cove...

Kevin, I'm a big fan of the fresh glossy look myself and new paint or gel coat would be the longest lasting option for sure. But with a $100 budget...

Philip, Your post makes total sense, I just can't seem to find a product that would do what you describe without being inherently non-hardening. T...

Awesome narrative, thanks for posting that! You've got me talked into installing one.

I was cleaning up the cross members last night getting them prepped for paint and looking over at my recently painted hulls, thinking to myself... Do...

Here is a picture of the DAP product I was recommended. Edited by solsailer18 on Aug 08, 2011 - 08:48 PM.

Awesome work man! That boat looks faster just sitting there sporting those stripes! Nice buff job too, by the way. :klatsch:

So I did some more research and came up with a possible solution for my application. It's a product made by DAP called Flexible Clear Sealant, (origi...

Gotcha. So a good adhesive is one that will stick well but let loose when you need it to and not be destructive to your boat. Looks like I'm in sear...

Sorry, I'm not trying to high jack your thread, but wanted to ask, what's so bad about an adhesive that adheres to stuff? I'm in the process of putti...

I've never tried to remove it completely on my mono hulls but it seems like the only way to do it is mechanically (sandpaper,) since chemical stripper...

Lol! Ok, sounds like good advice. The lake I sail on most isn't a mountain lake as I first stated, it's actually a reservoir called Fern Ridge in Eu...

I'm in!

Quarath, thanks for the link! That's great info on the rigging that would have been a major pain to deal had I not known. As to the question about t...

Thanks for the feedback so far! I'm definately going to take a second look at the standing rigging. Any ideas about a good resource for SOL CAT rigg...

This sucks... I just read your thread after placing an order for a new tramp from SLO. I e-mailed them to request a fabric sample card for comparison...

My SOL 18 got a new tramp from SLO Sail and Canvas along with new running rigging. 🙂 Can't wait to break it all in this spring!!

JohnES, Those hulls look better than factory! It definitely shows that you invested a lot of time in the prep. Nice work! I have a project that I'm...
