Peter, That's very good advice about the respirator. And thank you again Andreas for guiding me to those nuts on the carriage bolts. Thank God I don't have to remove the entire flooring!!! Or maybe I will remove them. There could be a few good old fishing lures down there :lol: Or at least, I could ...

Maybe I'm too proper, but I've never used a screwdriver on a slut.......

On the Peshtigo boats the keel is held on with a combination of Brass carriage head bolts and Brass slotted head screws. Not knowing Cortland built boats could it be that the "bumps" that you are picking at are the Carriage head bolts. The brass would seem softer that steel bolts and mayb...

As Brad said, the radiant heat in the floor is the tops for comfort, just way too expensive for me to consider. The only down side to floor heat is it has an extr...

I'll look up the literature tonight Pete.

I have a detached brick shop and I installed one of these. They can be found in a Grainger catalog (or web site). It's gas and has an electric igniter rather than a pilot flame. If I'm using paint or chemicals, I can turn it off temporarily until the vapors clear. I'm not a big fan of forced hot air...

Andreas,
Could you provide contact information for Mary Hermanson please? I recently scored the correct burgee pole for my Attwood bow light, so now I need the flag for my '60 Sea Coaster.

thanks
