    Flexiteek or similar

    Guys Thank you all for your help and opinions. As always, I found in them loads of common sense and wise thoughts. An additional advantage on synthetic Teak may be the fact that we do not need a professional carpenter to install it. A handyman can do it. My wife says that I am one hell of a...

    Flexiteek or similar

    Craig There are many boats with FG floors painted in white. Mama does not like it! She says this is a Trawler, a small ship, better yet, a home; not a bucket with an engine. My question is about new materials, thinks that are still new in this market. I thought about it because it would solve...

We left the outside floor for last, and we realized this was a good decision because we do not get to a consensus.:banghead: My children want to paint white to be covered by removable wet carpets or rugs. The Admiral is still pushing for...

    Malahide trawler

    Congratulations Andy. Malahides are by far the best trawler hul design ever. When I was a kid, my Dad took me to Leixoes in Portugal where they used to build them. This boat can take some weight and some spanking. It is very generous with bad weather. Cheers

    ZF 220 vs Twin Disc 502

    Figther What 3208 do you have? which version? If it is a top one, 400s HP, the ZF220 will not fit, it had to be a ZF280 or a top ZFW220. Expensive toys

    Ready to Load Electronics.

    I have a rudder indicator in the SIMRAD pilot and the Garmin is bundle. Walt It makes no sense to put the baby in the water and have no time to be there. The boat should have finished in June/2012. I had to get more money to finish it. While waiting for a better time window, it will be given...

    Where is your "home" port and tell us a little about it..

    Our home port is "Salvador da Bahia". It is a 4.9 million people city with a beautiful bay. In this bay there are 52 very important weekend spots. For a year at least, there's no need to leave the bay to have lots of fun. The problem is that in Salvador, there are only 365 days of summer per year.
