I was using 4" screws to put my new floor down, I think I went through the hull. Should i just break them off and paint over?

Back em out and use 3" screws, that way they won't stick too far out of the hull and you won't have to do anything because they will corrode off flush to the hull, bottom paint will cover them when you do it next season. LOL

Cant you just run a bonding wire to them and not worry about it?

You could never get away with that in Florida... Diver would charge 2 or 3 times the normal amount for the extra time scraping the hull around all those screws. Better to take a hammer and just bend them over, smear some silicone over them.
I just spent about an hour of my life reading that thread. I couldn't look away. Pure genius right there.

Can I safely take my 18ft bowrider to the Bahamas, will I have enough gas?

That question was actually posed on another site. The fellow wanted to go from Montauk to Block.
The same guy wanted advice on retrofitting a weed whacker into a bow thruster for the same 18 footer.
He was an interesting dude.
Do my twin VHF antennas need to be straight up and down or can I leave them raked back at a jaunty angle? (For us longer-time members)
What does the blower switch do on the boat? Is it important? (I'm just asking for a friend).

Yes, but if you bond all the screws, you have to run the bonding wire up to your Honda generator that is tied to the swim platform.

Hopefully I will get to read more soon but I had to stop when they were talking about rigging something up because the pig was too heavy to lift and then Gary dropped the:

Gary (Four Suns) had a way with people like that! I'm sorry that he's hard at work now, I miss his humor:

Is there a formula for bouancy?I was thinking two more diesels would double my top end and get her on the plane in half the time saving me tons of gas.Would the extra weight cause people to ***** in a no wake zone?

I got two of those--one for each engine--and plugged them into a power strip in the bilge. Right now I have one of the ER covers open so the extension cord can reach the power outlet on the dock, but I'm thinking it would be better to drill a hole and thread it through instead--what size bit should I use?
