A member of our ACBS chapter has three Van Dam boats in his collection at his winery in Clearlake. The Saturday dinner for the Wood and Glory show is usually held there.

My boat stays covered outside so it is hard on the covers. I used to use Stitch master covers and they would last about three years but they stopped making them. I tried others and they would not even last a year. This is the cover I am using now https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041E9CJ6/ref=oh_a...

Yes,
My wife and I go every year.

Last weekend our Northern California / Lake Tahoe ACBS had a new show at the Stockton Sailing Club. We had over 40 boats. Including 2 Glen-L boats. ( Mine and a Cracker Box built by the Sea Scouts) The show was free to the public and we had a good turnout. A few pictures IMG_0166.jpg Glen-L Cracker ...

Agree, Different approaches, all valid. I chose to use 1 part for my use. Less expensive easier to to apply and I planned to refinish every few years. My boat is no "Trailer Queen" I store it covered but outside in Modesto Ca, 100+ degrees common in the summer. We do take it to shows but o...

Does two part varnish not flow like regular varnish? Regular varnish when applied correctly even with a brush will flow out smooth with no sanding or buffing. The two part might be a tougher finish, but I can't see the advantage to all the extra work and turning all that expensive varnish into dust ...

If you used some 90 degree fittings on the thermostat housing would that work ?

On my Monaco, when it is level the lowest point is about where the drivers feet are. It would be hard to lift the front high enough to drain at the transom. I have a T- handled garboard plug like Jim posted. It is under the front cockpit floorboard on one side of the keel with a limber through the k...

Congratulations,
Fun!
This is what its all about.

On the plans the page that shows the lines should have that information. I think it is page 2. It shows the waterline and also gives the measurements from the setup level to the top of the bootstripe.

Too much,
Max should be about the same as the shaft size. A 1" shaft about 1" between. An 1 1/4" can be up to 1 1/4" but 1" would still be fine with 1 1/4 shaft.
But also not too close, as you need water flow through the bearing and room to use a puller for the prop.

Here is a link to a post that showed the hole saw I made. Easy to make, cut through fast, and it cuts straight and won't wander like a drill bit and no need for a backer on inside for tear out.

From there we went around the lake stopping at Emerald Bay and other resorts with more people and boats joining as we went. P1010018.jpg gettingaquainted.jpg Then cruised all around the lake ending up at Thunderbird lodge, where some stopped for a picnic and others continued to Camp Richardson. Rich

In 2007 our ACBS chapter had a cruise we called the Tahoe Get-Around. Four of us started out and met up with Thunderbird halfway across the lake.
