I also have the same boat with the ceder as you described. After 20 years I finally stripped the mahogany stain off of the dash and side boards and went natural. Wow! Boy did that change the boat and the contrast colors really POP!.

This begs another question from an earlier reply. I have a modern V-8 with electronic ignition and a distributor cap. I have to have the key in the "on" position to run the stereo, and leave it that way for hours while anchored. I also have a starter button. So far no problems I can see. Am I sendin...

The boat had four coats of sealer, then 8 coats of varnish (Captains). The stain was CC Red. Some of the big sections have already peeled off, about 6x3 inches. There are sill some areas where I can use the method of getting some sealer under the lift. Most of the problems are on the decks, but ther...

I had my boat professionally refinished last year; stripped to bare wood.

I don't know, I would say the most expensive is an X wife; and her attorneys....

I called Jamestown dist and they do not have chrome or bronze in a #6 1 1/2 in size. Does anyone know where I may find them?

I have refinished my side ceiling planks and dashboard back to the original blond. When all the screws were removed from the side boards, the wood around the screws was stained black. Bleaching has not removed the stains unfortunately. So the question is: what kind of screws should I replace them wi...
