I am going to DE this morning to help my son move. He has lived/worked in NY for the past 2 years and is looking forward to living in a free state! Damn, that means I am going to have to give him back his guns? I find wearing my NJGUNFORUMS or NJZED shirt to work on casual Fridays is an easy way to broach the subject.

Welcome to the forum from Toms River. Sounds like you have a good friend there! some of us shoot on Tuesday nights at Shore Shot, if you see somebody with a NJ Gun Forum shirt, introduce yourself and I am sure they will let you try their pistol.

Like Cigarettes, Booze & Drugs?

Thanks, I don't shoot a Glock or do competitions. Now I know.

Who's David Sevigny?

I lived and worked up there (5 minutes from Chimney Rock)for 32 years and we had a lot of our school parties there. Their Pizza is very good, but does not really compare to Pete & Elda's.

Hahaha, I love those posts! It is a piece of crap but I will take it off your hand for a bunch of pennies.

Nick, My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. In the last 18 months, I have lost my older brother, a sister in law and my sister, who was my best friend. We will keep your dad and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, that one worked. Can this be event be shot with a Mark III pistol and a 10/22 rifle or must it be revolver/bolt-lever rifle?

Linky no work for me??

+1 I have only sprayed Awlgrip, but if that have a brushing thinner, that would be the way to go! I have also sprayed a few runabout hulls with R&M 2 part Urethane Enamels and they came out great, but I would not think this is hard enough for the seating parts on that sailboat.

She sure looks like a worth while project! I almost got a sailboat like that earlier this year but somebody beat me to it. Go to the Auto Store and buy a gallon of paint remover for fiberglass cars (corvettes). You can also get this at West Marine but it probably costs a lot more. Get some plastic sheeting, brush on the paint remover and cover with plastic sheets so it does not evaporate too fast. Then scrape off all the layers of paint. I have done several vettes (and a whole '63 Impala)that way. Took me all day to do the Impala! Fill in small cracks with marine polyester body filler then sand and prime (or spray it will gelcoat).

It says I have to log in to view videos. Firefox 5.0

That is a beautiful piece! Congrats on the score!

Pete & Elda's in Neptune an The Mad Hatter in Sea Bright make the best "Thin Crust" Pizza in the state!

Welcome to the forum from Toms River.

I have re-done several wooden boats over the years. One was a 16' Thomson runabout and another was a 1948 36' Chris Craft Sedan Cruiser. Lots of work and lots of fun! Plus I have worked on many fiberglass boats over the past 30+ years. I am sure hard anti-fouling is better for a sailboat because you can polish it and it may give you a tiny amount of speed. The problem is when you have the boat out for the winter, it will oxidize and has to be repainted the next season to give you anti-fouling properties. Ablative does not oxidize when out of the water and can last two or three seasons before needing to be re-coated. so a. you do not have to paint the bottom every year and b. you do not build up thick layers of dead paint.

Oh yeah, and it is B O A T, as in Break Out Another Thousand!

Hmm, I'll look in the garage and see what I have. I would STRONGLY recommend using ablative bottom paint!

Bah, too far for me I don't mind going to Range 14 but I am needing a better schedule and more versatility. I was hoping to save up some extra cash to join CJRP, but yesterday I had to spend $400.00 for tires for my car. While it was sitting in the tire store, some lady backed into it Now I have to deal with her insurance company to get it fixed.

Matt, make sure you put bearing buddies on the trailer and keep them greased and you should never have to mess with bearings again! Congrats on the boat. Sounds like a fun project, too bad you live so far away as I would have volunteered to help a bit. So, if this is a trailer boat, it does not need any antifouling paint, right? I used to work at Boater's World before they went under, it was a fun job and I used to get fantastic discounts on all my botom paint, waxes, compounds, zincs etc. I think I have a gallon kit of Petit Epoxy Barrier Coat in the garage but that would not help you if you are not putting on a bottom paint. Idealy, you should shoot the boat in Awlgrip if you can get it into the body shop (you really need a positive pressure respirator to shoot that stuff if you like your lungs). Interlux Brightside gives good results for do-it-yourselfers and only has to be waxed twice a season to keep it shining. Orpine stuff is top shelf! I also like the Meguar's Boat Wax in the black bottle for detailing our big boat. Good luck with the project and keep us posted on your progress.

I have four .22 rifles (M&P 15-22, Ruger K10-22T, Montgomery Ward and Mossberg) and three .22 pistols (Ruget MkIII Hunter, Buckmark & Taurus Model 94), even when I am taking my AR or Mosin to the range, a couple of .22s always come along for the trip. Fun to shoot and cheap on ammo!

My son just returned from 10 days in Iceland. He said it was a great trip and took lots of breathtaking pictures.
