Wow that’s some beautiful work. The technology they are using is crazy. They would probably charge me more than my whole boat is worth to do the work I want. Plus the stuff I’m doing is basic trim work. Nothing too technical. Just have to source the teak at a reasonable price which means private sales on marketplace when then pop up. I just have to have patience and diligence to keep an eye on the listings. The good thing about the trim is it does not hold me up for a second. I can set sail without a stick of teak and add it as I get it. Sure… I want it now but I’m far from sailing at the moment. I am aiming for Memorial Day weekend hopefully but I still need $1500 in sea cast and a gas tank as big ticket items.

Have the lengths/widths ready and call them to check if they have 2nds or off cuts that are long/wide enough.  What do you have to lose?

Spent a day milling some woodwork with the table saw and planer. Top is the original piece and below it is the reproduction piece so far. Still have to router the edges round and final Sind and shape. I will utilize a few of the original pieces and make the ones that are missing. I plan on finishing all the pieces with Sikkens Cetol. Great stuff.










Here is my process so far on repairing a broken corner on one of the coming boards. The color is a little off but I got the grain going pretty much in the same direction. I have it in the house so the wood burning stove in my living room can cure the Gorilla glue. I plan on shaping it tomorrow.

Came out more than acceptable. Can’t wait to coat it in cetol.

20 degrees outside keeps me in the garage for now. Started tearing apart the motors. I have a 1987 Evinrude 200 complete, a 225 block, and a 1993 leg. I want to take the 1987 200 power head and gear case with the 225 intake and put it on the 1993 leg which has the upgraded tilt and trim. The power head came right off nicely. Someone greased the bolts nicely. The lower came off quite easily too.  I will rebuild the 200 power head with the 225 intake to make a 225.






Mounted the 1993 leg on the stand to find 2 engine mounting bolts salted in solid. Beat the hell out of one and got it to move. The second one will need time. It amazes me that salt can hold a bolt in a non threaded smooth hole like this. Incredible. It’s like it’s welded. Not my first time dealing with this. You have to be patient because if you break the bolt and can’t get it out the leg is scrap metal.  I fear what taking off the lower will be like but I’ll get to that after I get the bolt out
