Lee, was your black stripe very dull? Mine is and I have been spot comparing different types of restorers but haven't found anything I like yet. I can get it to shine a little but not to where there is a good glossy surface. Your's looks like it is giving off a nice reflection. No, the black strips...

Actually, the smooth sections seemed less slick after waxing. go figure.

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it sure is easy. I used floor wax on my boat after scrubbing it clean. The attached photo shows the difference before and after on the rub rail. I left a section unwaxed to show the difference. I learned this trick long ago cleaning dirt track race car...

Thanks!

[quote="Frank C"BTW - it appears in the first photo (taken amidst the trees) that the boat was "sans mast?"[/quote] Yep! True bassboat configuration. I was under some trees fishing and the mast would have been a problem, plus a bridge or two. Heck, In four days, I only used about...

Spent a week at Lake Martin Al. Beatiful place. If this image works, you can see my solar powered anchor light. Now where to mount that trolling motor???? PS, Saw three or four other 26X's there. Trailered my boat, Aberro, 200 miles, no problem. I could get use to living like that. http://pg.photos....

Bearing number on the side of the outer wheel bearing is L44649, just sort of FYI, in case you KNOW you have to change them. I suppose those numbers are somewhere on this site, I just don't know where.

Had my 2002 trailer bearings checking them for the first time and all seems well.

25 hp 4 stroke. love the gas milage.

A 25 HP engine will not allow you to remove the water ballast. I also recommend a 4 stock 50 HP or larger. Sorry sir, my 25 4 stroke will easily dump the ballast. Its a good bit lighter than the 50 and smaller. I can also remove it myself using my back. I sail only and only sail with 2 onboard. And...

Hmmmm, ya mean thats not how I'm suppose to use my spinaker???
(pic of the yellow one looks like me using mine. ( mine was a disgard from dumb or rich person, found it in the dumpster at the marina.) A little faded, but the price was right. Hard part is getting it down.

See below as to what is available from Westmarine. You see the price, which made my wheels turn. The reason for this mod is wanting to spend a winter on board in the Keys/Bahama's. My 26X seems perfect for single hand sailing down there. It would be used only for cooking. Fish, lobster, konch, OH MY...

I need the combined wisdom of this board in locating a fullsize propane tank in the rear berth under the cockpit. Saw a cooler the other day at wally world that would hold a full size propane tank. My plan is to put an igloo style cooler in the back of the berth, hard mound it, and pipe the cooler d...

I know this is a popular mod, but for those of us that can't do this mod, here is a link to make you feel better about your single axle trailer. This guy towed his from Calgary, Canada to Miami. PS, I'm new here, been reading for years though. I have a 2002/26X. Lee308 http://pstobo.popstogo.com/bah...
