  4. Bottom Paint Removal

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    Soystrip by franmar. It will leave some residue, use a dustless sander connected to a shop vac and and start with the finest grit. I had luck around 240-320 and then worked my way up to ~800/1000. Buff magic, then polish. One factor is how bad they sanded the bottom before applying the paint, I was lucky and they sanding marks came out.

    Agree with the boating club idea. Boats are expensive to maintain. If you spend all 8k on the boat and something happens, the wife will not let you forget about it. Boating club also lets you try different types of boats so you can figure out what will work best for what you and the family enjoy. Spend some money on the play toys for now such as tubes/skis/snorkeling gear.

    White Rabud Handle Lever Series Deck Hatch. Rabud #1020HLW.Features a flush-fit design and 100 degrees of opening freedom. U.V. stabilized components, stainless steel hinges, and replaceable gaskets assure years of solid use. Engineered to handle walking weight. Installs easily with self tapping screws (not included). Rabud calls this their 10 x 20 hatch, and the actual dimensions are: Overall: 23 1/4" x 13", Cutout hole needed: 20 3/4" x 10 3/4", Inside dimension: 20" x 10".

    I have 3 of them that I bought but changed what I was going to do on the boat. Just make me an offer so I can get them out of my garage.

    Would one of these work for a anchor hatch on the front of my 1983 srv 270 searay.

    If so get me a starting $ thank you.Sherman

    Yes, it would work as an anchor hatch. I do not know if you have an existing hole, but you can check based on measurements above whether it would work. $35 shipped.

    If it was me,,,,I would stay away from the Avet.

    Have you looked at Penn?

    I have not. I have a bunch of low end penn stuff that is fine, but I had not seen much in the Lever Drag that I liked. I bought one TLD 15 off ebay that is new and now I'm trying to figure out what to spool it with for a mix of trolling and bottom fishing. Thinking about putting a backing of mono and then 30# braid.

    I think the TLD15's off ebay are going to be what I go with since the cost is hard to beat. Looks like I can get brand new ones for less than 100 each and just slowly pick them up over this winter.

    Here is what I am looking at. I have Shimano Baitrunner 4500's for my spinning reels with braid. I use these when I'm doing bottom fishing with the kids and doing alot of casting. I also have a penn 7500SSM for heavier weight and surf fishing.

    I am now looking to replace all the crappy gear that my dad has bought with me when I was young for trolling/boat duty. I'm looking at the following and having a hard time picking:

    Shimano tld 15 - lowest price but best line capacity and drag

    Avet mxl 5.8 - ~50 bucks more and has the ability to cast, less drag and line capacity, then again, braid should be able to have plenty on there.

    I like the idea of having a trolling reel that also has the cast control so if I want to use it for bottom fishing larger species, I can. It's amazing how fast a reel can backlash when tossing baits or rigs out.

    Any thoughts?

    Rods for either will likely be Tsunami Trophy Boat rods 7' Medium heavy.

    Fellow Dutchman Downs person here. My parents driveway comes out on holly springs road though. (through the woods behind netherlands and Tulip Circle. Burbs will have possible reassignments, but then again, that's why our schools system is so good. It was written up in the Wall Street Journal about how we have equalized the schools so you don't have one crappy and one awesome. Then again, people are screaming about the busing, so it may change if enough people on the School board give up the fight.
