    Other Tapatalk blowing up my email

    I gave in and got Tapatalk. When I go to my settings and notifications, everything is turned on and grayed out not allowing me to turn it off. The only thing I can disable is the auto subscribe. All of the notification stuff is locked on. Is there something I can do to get it to stop emailing...

    650/X-2 X2 build help!

    One advantage of biax not mentioned is that it is more structural than the weaves. There are advantages to the random orientation of the chopped fibers in mat. Chop can not be used with epoxy due to the lack of styrene to dissolve the starch which bonds it together. Two layers of 1208 biax is...

    650/X-2 X2 build help!

    You can cut about 1" off the back because the bond line in the back being at the bottom deck. As long as you don't take too much it is a quick cut and back to the water. Anything past that and it the standard process as shortening any hull. I cut 2 inches off one of my hulls, flatten the...

    SOLD Bench top Manual mill

    $800. Includes mill, cart, vice, collet set, some end mills, drill chuck. Only used it a few times practicing on some aluminum. Was going to convert it to CNC to try to make some small parts, but I found a Grizzly CNC I am going to use. Not able to make any trades right now. Local pickup...

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    I fabricated this monkey. Started last week. Kiddos love balloons and they don’t stick around forever like toys. One of my better ideas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How deep do skis sink?

    Supports the jet skis travel like fish idea. Many people with X2 remove the hood foam to fit larger engines. The air in the engine compartment gives the illusion of enough buoyancy to not sink. X2 can not float without hood foam, but they do, because of the air left in the engine compartment...

    Dude. The listing is from 2013 and the OP hasn't been on the forums since 2016. BK already pointed this out.

    CNC builds

    I don't have a garage, but I do have a 8x16x7.5 V-nose trailer. I am going to set it up as a shop. Best I can do. Might take a bit to get everything setup as I want to ensure everything is sealed before I put too much in it. Also the router is 220v so it'll have to run off my dryer outlet or...

    Oh wow. I had no idea it was this bad. I thought a few links here and there were bad and was going to clean it up. Almost every link has been lost. That's very disappointing. @Big Kahuna @SuperJETT what happened here? Is this information still in existence and the links are just broken? Can...

    CNC builds

    I found a used Grizzly CNC mill and a 24x36 3hp router each with their own computer, fully configured and running, with tooling and etc. I'll be set for a while. I was going to do the conversion with the components OCD suggested and the Shapeoko XXL, but the used machines I got were a lot more...

    Unfortunately a number of links were lost when the forum moved to the new system. I never went back through the links to remove the broken ones. I'll try to remember to do that sometime when I'm bored.

    Let's talk paint

    Time is money. If you are going to do the labor to make any paint job look good, then the extra price of quality paints are worth the money. So appliance epoxy is fine for boats with minimal prep, minimal work after, look fine from 50 ft and are going to be touched up. If you are going to take...

    JS 550 Not “Pissing”

    It was funny and you know it. Can't always expect serious answers. The forums are just the beach without the sand. Some good advice, a lot of bad advice, and a few good (and bad) jokes. You can buy an infrared thermometer at harbor freight for $5. Check the temps on your head, cylinder and...

    JS 550 Not “Pissing”

    These sort of things tend to happen approaching 40 years old. There is a small access hole in the back for assessing the condition of the system. Just insert one or two fingers and feel forward a bit. Any enlargements might be obstructing flow and should be addressed.
