[flkeysaqua]

thanks man I appreciate it email me and let me know whats the damage and just wondering how long till you replace them?

[flkeysaqua]

Funny someone decided to stab the lid for some reason?





For now I just painted the old gauges (not sure which manufacture I'm going to go with when I repower so no sense in buying gauges yet)



Look at all the whole from previous owners



Any ideas how to get the last two pieces of teak off to sand and stain them I would hat to have to sand them in place.

I'm not sure when I'll be replacing them, but it will be soon because I'm getting close to finishing the hull, and the next project will be painting the floor and inside walls, and I'm removing them for that...  as soon as I secure the new rod-holders out of the Key West, I'll have no problem shipping the originals out.  If I push for the rod holders now, I'll probably have to pay for them, but if I wait, I should get them for the good ole' boy discount.  Just don't wanna be w/o rod holders if worse comes to worst.

Wood looks nice by the way    .   My original console (which has since earned its wings ) didn't have all that wood.  I'd probably keep the original rod holders if it did...

if flkeysaqua doesn't want them. just let me know were to send the cash. slim

if nothing else. please trace one so I cant cut me some out thanks slim

I'll be sure to do that for you sir.  Flkeys has first dibbs, but you are 1st runner up if anything changes.  8)

thank you. I have buddy with a water jet. I'm going to get him to cut them out for me. thanks agin

[MarshMarlowe196]

You can cut wood with a waterjet?  Interesting...

[slim]

He cuts every thing with it. rubber, glass, plywood, floor tile, star board. you name it he can cut it. the cuts are so clean. he puts the program in an bam in a few moments its cut. It's cool. at 1/4 to 1/2 mil each it better earn it's keep.
this will be the 3rd one I'm hooking up for him. his shop runs 24-7-365

thanks for the compliment only things the one holder I have doesn't look like yours its wierd it has one hole and a slot in it i'll post a pic tonight, maybe different from stock but definlty would like your old ones when your ready So you bought an aftermarket console? How much did it set you back? Slim with the water jet once he cuts them for you are you planning on routing tem or just sanding the profile? There is a gentleman on south floridas craiglist with teak for 7$ a foot I'll post a link after work

I try to avoid buying things for my boat when possible...     Back when my pops was running a small company called Stinger Boats, they cut a 1993 17' Polar CC in half and made a mold for a 19' boat out of it, and called it a Stinger.  The console was left over, and I just kind of acquired it.  I have a few Key West consoles laying around, but the polar was going to work the best.  It actually fits really well; it covers the wood that the old console used to sit on, but I have since removed that wood.  I miss the old console, but the new one is not as wide and is a lot taller.  I think it works better, but I'd rather have the original.  I'll have to post some pics.

Last month I saw our console on south fl craigslist for like 75 or 100 bucks if you were interested? Also what size trailer do you have single or tandem axles? Looking for a new aluminum trailer weight wise a single will work? right? But the best deal I've found so far is $1595 for a single axle aluminum trailer with ZINC HARDWARE not even galvanized out of tampa down here $1950 for a single with stainless hardware without the six hour drive DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A PLACE FROM TAMPA SOUTH WITH A GOOD PRICE FOR A GOOD NEW ALUMINUM TRAILER

Best price I got for a double was $2350

[MarshMarlowe196]

Eh... I think I'm just going to stick with the console I have.  I really don't feel like putting together a third console :)  .  Thanks for the heads up on that though.


I don't think the trailer that came with my boat was the original.  The frame of the trailer is only 5' wide, maybe 6' total from tire to tire.  It's a single axle w/ 5-lug hubs and rollers (I HATE Rollers).  The hub failed on one side, and it effed up the spindle pretty good, and it's not going to be smooth ever again, so now I have a hub that goes out every other trip...  So, I decided to update all of the hardware and be done w/ it versus buying a new trailer.  I'm going to go with a torsion axle so I wont have to worry about rusty leaf springs, I'm going to upgrade the hubs to 6lug hubs, and I got a set of galv. rims w/ 15" tires (2" bigger than the 13" tires on there now).  Then I'm going to fab some skids w/ S/S Flat Bar and angle w/ S/S fasteners, and attach wood skids to it.  

This will actually be my next project so I can finally get my boat off the blocks.  I'll post some pics if you would be interested.

All of the parts are coming straight from WESCO Trailers, minus the skid hardware.  It's all cost me a little less than $500.  The axle and hubs are overkill, which makes me happy.

Honestly, a 19-6 doesn't need a dual axle trailer; the weight doesn't justify it.  Plus, you'd have to contend w/ 4 hubs/tires, and then you can start worrying about whether your trailer is level behind your vehicle.  I'm going to stick w/ a single axle.  Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do.

Well I ended up buying a new cruise on trailer single torsion  axle with all stainless hardware same price down here as up on the main land so I can't complain.  Me and the wife are going on a two day fishing/camping trip tomorrow well actually today we're going out in the bay off Bahia Honda and staying on an island tomorrow night after the first day of fishing then all day again Sunday

[flkeysaqua]

Well the fishing sucked last weekend it was blowing 20-25 so needless to say it was a wet ride but the camping was nice.  The wife and I got to have a little r and r from the everyday. Hopefully this weekend will be better but it looks like another windy weekend  :evil:

What did you use on your teak ?

[flkeysaqua]

I used Teak Cleaner, Teak Prep, then Teak Gold. First I sanded it all down with 50 grit then 220 (because of how bad of shape it was in.) But like I was told on a different topic you have to re-apply the Teak oil every other day if you want to same look all year round. So I think I'm going to use what was recomended to me in the first place. Don't quite remember what its called.  It's on another of my topics               Teak Questions

[flkeysaqua]

Badonsport is one or two of your rod holders like this? in your pics they don’t appear to be just wondering also could you trace them out possibly and email me them if you took a pic of them with something I could use for reference I could blow up your pic to the right size to trace them? I would really appreciate it.  So next on the list of things to do repair or replace the old tank lid, the accessory lid (that runs down from the console to the transom) My questions are should I go with a composite material or marine plywood? If I go with marine plywood what is the best prep to insure the plywood is sealed? Glass both sides of the board? And is 1/2 inch good enough? I think it will have to be because I only have about 3/4 of an inch to work with? Any suggestions would be appreciated
