Re: Finally did it! Towing Advice

This is all good advice but before towing it any distance, check the grease and the bearings to make sure both are in good condition. There is plenty of advice online on how to do this but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, any competent mechanic can do it for you. You might want to consid...

c.1970 Outrage 19 Ride

How does the ride of the 17-foot hull and the 1970's Outrage 19 compare? BACKSTORY: I am looking for a Boston Whaler boat for quick fishing trips. I am not looking for a pristine example but one with a dry hull and reliable power. I was originally going to buy another old style 15-footer--I've had o...

Re: Wood Stain for Old Console

You probably need to just recondition the wood. It is completely dried out so add most any oil like minwax clear stain. It will substantially darken the wood. Varnish or continue to oil with Teak Oil, Sikkens, or what ever product you desire. I don't think you need to add any color. You will be sur...

Re: Wood Stain for Old Console

Thanks for these suggestions and the console is built primarily out of plywood, which looks like it has the mahogany veneer. I do plan on finishing it with varnish once its completely prepped - and I have decided on/experimented with stains in an inconspicuous place.

Wood Stain for Old Console

I have an original 16-foot console and have stripped off and sanded off all the old varnish. I've also been able to remove some of the mildew stains, as well, but, given the age of the console, it should not be surprising that the now unfinished wood has a very uneven surface color.
