![]() Yup, size is the problem, get yourself a photo editing program and drop the actual size or the resolution of the image and they will work |

81- Damn! I thought it was < 35k! (too small any way)
photobucket.com worked pretty good, if you can get by all the ad's. Justin (in blue) was a little scared going fast at first, Joey (in red) No fear at all! |

Thanks for the welcome, 81Nautique!
Randy, I put your name on our mailer list. You'll be getting the emails from Jason, our Sales Mgr. He's a great guy and loves boating as much as the rest of us. I hope we can help you out in the future, as well as anyone else on this site. We're restricted by territories for new boat sales, but everything else is an open market. We even have a new web site going up soon just for boats. In the mean time, all of our inventory is listed on Vandevere.com. Dan |

The marina that said they could get me the custom matched gelcoat repair paste called me today and said they couild not get it, they sasid all they could get was full gallons of gelcoat for $80. I did some poking around on these forums and found a place Spectrum.com thanks to a previous post from Nautique2001 that has Silver Cloud for 1993-2000. This is the white color I need according to Darrels' previous post. I am going to order some. funny thing, I bet this is the same place the Marina had contacted, they said it was in Washington state and so is Spectrum. Hummm...

Randy...you are just fixing some small chips in the gelcoat right? I believe David F mentioned the paste kits that you mix pigment...about $25.00. You can get pretty close.
Also...go to the Mini Craft of Fla web site(great products!)...click the tab for gelcoat repair kits. The kit is about $80.00 (shelf life 3-4 months)...it is a bit expensive but you get a pint and will have way more than enough to fix all spots! They do have hull colors for Correct Craft, however, because gel fades it won't match....Soooo you use the color wheel they sell and I bet you will find one that is very close! If you want...I can send you the color wheel...check it out and send it back to me. |

Forgot to mention...if you do go the route of paste...let me know! I had a discussion with the Magic Man Alan a few weeks ago...we discovered a good way to match to curve in the hull...great for your spot or chines!

yep, just a couple chips. I already ordered the gelcoat repair paste from Spectrum. I'm hoping after buff it out the color will match pretty close. I really don't trust my color matching capability, and I've heard that whites can be hard to match. I am going to check out the Mini Craft site anyway.
Thanks for offering me the use of the wheel, I really appreciate it. If anything goes wrong with my order, I may still take you up on the offer. |

Hey Randy,
Just curious about the laws in Ohio. Here in California, kids under 12 must wear a lifejacket in a boat. I personally agree with the law. One of the few I do agree with. BKH |

BKH- Your right. That is a very good law. I intend for them to wear life jackets on the boat in the future... The only life jackets I had last Sunday were the ones that came with the boat when I bought it (all way too big for them). I need to buy new Life jackets for everyone and some extras, the ones I have are in bad shape...
I did look up the law in Ohio: "No person shall operate or permit to be operated any vessel under 18 feet long with a child less than 10 years of age on board unless the child is wearing a PFD." The PFD must be: * U.S. Coast Guard approved Type I, II, or III; * in good and serviceable condition; * of appropriate size; * securely attached. Since my boat is 21 feet long I didn't break any laws... But like I said before I plan on making them wear them from now on, even though they are both excelent swimmers, you just can't be too safe. things can happen so quickly... |
