  7. 34 Window Frames

    Gentlemen: I have a 1965 34 SF in serious rehab. I'm looking at the side salon windows and it strikes me that I might be able to remove the frames, clean, and have fixed glass, 1 piece, glued to the outermost part of the frame, discarding the sliders and hardware altogether. Has anyone tried...

  13. Aft boarding

    I'm moving my boat to Brielle (north jersey) they don't have finger piers with their staionary docks. They all board off the stern. My 43 dc has a ladder and swim platform but at low tide I'm wandering how to get to the ladder without getting the platform under the dock. Any opinions?

    While inspecting hull after haulout for the Winter, I noticed that one of my outlets above the waterline is a Rule plastic unit. I've had the boat for 11 years, but this is the first I've noticed it. Seems like Rule smacks of Sea-Rays, etc. Should I replace that with a Groco, my brand of choice...
