    I like that you show if something doesn't go your way and you got to redo it.
    Others might cut those parts out.
    Maybe that's why some thinks you're frustrated? I think it's great. That's how it is to build stuff and it's not always a bad thing because you learn something from it.

    I use a turbo tip and wear an old dive mask when I pressure wash barnacles off of my stone crab traps. I look ridiculous but it works.

    @HOSER227 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Try muriatic acid (pool acid) from HD or Lowes. Mix on a spray bottle about 1/3 acid with 2/3 water. The acid mix will melt the barnacles away. Keep the water hose near by to rinse of immediately!

    A word to the wise: treated lumber, when in contact with bare aluminum, can accelerate corrosion on the aluminum. If you’re going to use the treated boards on that trailer, it may be wise to either paint or carpet the bunks or paint the pontoons to prevent corrosion to the pontoons

      @TheTalonts 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He said he was going to cover them. He'll probably treat them the same way as the other trailer with LED strips, paint, and clear covers, as it will make them last long and make lining up the boat easier.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the video but I most especially enjoyed you talking in the last few minutes. You're a sympathetic good person. It is fun for me as a Dutchie to see you life the hands-on approach way in a far away place like Florida. I liked hearing you talk about expressing your creativity by using your hands. Good on ya with these sponsor deals. The pressure can be tough but as long as you feel you are doing something worthwhile or it enables you to do so in the future you are doing the right thing for you. Best of luck :)

    Get yourself a high end commercial pressure washer around 4000 psi with a turbo nossle on it... it will have no problem, a 45 and 90 angle twist pressure washers works for underside.... put it into your future plans for purchase you will use it on all your projects.

    Tilex mold and mildew by clorox works great for getting the mildew off of the seats. It is also cheap compared to the marine products and you should be able to find it in any store. You will want to get enough bottles to fully coat each seat otherwise it will streak. Just let it dry on there and then go back over it with water to rinse off the bleach.

    Starbrite Mildew remover will work on the vinyl seats... Spray it on, scrub it, then let it sit for 20 minutes before washing it off. To be honest, most mildew removers are just bleach based products, so it doesn't necessarily matter the brand when it comes to mildew removers.
