Bilge paint suggestions
The inside of my new wooden hull is finished with several coats of clear epoxy (Bote Cote)...and the joinery itself looks quite neat. I've noticed that some of the US builders put a coat of grey bilge paint over that. Is it worth doing the entire hull or just under the engine...or not at all? I'd we...

Luckily I found someone here skilled at welding/repairing alloy engine blocks. He fabricated a per...

Where to buy a piece of deck hardware
Rather than using a conventional bow sprit on my 16' powerboat hull build, I'd like to source one that resembles the one in the attached picture if anyone knows where I can get one please.
I'd also like to know the correct name for it too

1530mm long 1" dia prop shaft wanted
I'm after a 1" dia prop shaft that is longer than 1530mm (that I can shorten if necessary) if anyone has one please. I have a metre long one that's unused and too short for my boat. Happy to buy for cash or trade boat parts.
