I remember many years ago when I worked in a boat factory that made tri-hulls boats. Basically still have the V in the center of the hull, but instead of V'ing all the way up, it starts up, then swoops back down to the water on the outer edges. Anyway, one thing that I had to do as one of the last things on the line, was go up to the bow of a 30' house boat and drill a couple of holes in the center of each side where the deck met the hull. The reason for that was for water making it up onto the sunken deck to drain into the hull, where it would run down to the lowest part and be purged by bilge pumps back into the lake, river, whatever. Anyway, once I was drilling, drilling, drilling with a 1.5" fly bit, drilling, drilling, and more drilling, and it finally popped through and the bad part was that I could see the concrete floor of the plant after it popped through. Ohhhhh crappppp. I wasn't paying attention and dropped the bit in the wrong spot, and "OHHHHHH NOOOOOO, I can see the concrete floor of the plant through the hull of the boat!!! That aint good". That boat was supposed to be on a truck being shipped for delivery first AM, and it was about 4:30 PM close down for the day. Yep, it shipped, but the boss sure was mad. Had to patch the fiberglass hole, super speed up the setup and dry part, grind and sand, gel coat and super duper set that up, sand and polish it by morning. It happened though, and at about 8 AM the following morning that boat pulled out.

Do you have to buy the whole set? We used to be able to get (order) individual journals just for that reason. Ask them.

Good luck Stan.

Today's Featured Article - The Engine Rebuild Kit - by Curtis Von Fange. I always liked engine rebuild kits. They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c ... [Read Article]
