  1. Hal – you must be pretty darn good if you can do a boat repair with just 5 trips to the marine/hardware stores. I take 7.5 per repair. Also, next time you are trying to do an emergency dinghy repair like that, instead of epoxy, try contact cement. You'd need to lightly sand the fiberglass bottom with 200 grit (just a quick dust up to increase the glue's grip) and clean with a wipe of acetone. Both the hull and the fabric get coats. First coat, let dry 30 minutes. Second coat 10 minutes – needs to be a bit "tacky" – then press down the fabric and roll out with a Formica/laminate roller. Your seam should stick firmly and not wrinkle. Re-roll out five minutes or so later to double check the joints. Next dinghy, get Hypalon material, really much better, especially in the tropics.

  2. I’m sorry. I forgot. You guys really kicked butt on your dinghy/tender. I try to learn from you guys! I think you need to get that shirt for Hal. “ I fix things. That’s what I do!” Haha Stay the course my friends!

  3. My god girl, that as way too much Sun for your fair complexion! Break out the Solarcaine! When is your Man going to quit that nasty smoking habit?

  4. I could not stop laughing through most of this. 😆… Siren, you realize to get Hal to conform to your ideologies, you must use the ornery method, right? 😅Hal, you done good with the motor, didn't see much silver when you drained the motor or lower unit, hopefully the motor will last for a bit. As for that seam repair … flex seal tape? — Jerry

  5. Considering the outboard had to be rescued from the bottom of the ICW a few months ago. And I remember it getting a good bit of washing out with fresh water then 😂 it could have been worse than it looks. I don’t trust anything inflatable for daily use. Good old John boat can be abused for decades and it’s easily repaired with some sheet metal, self tapping screws and liberal amounts of 5200. Well, most times anyway…

  6. Hi Guys… How are you..

    Take note:

    A good deep cleaner is "Unduzit" (👁️ Google)
    has a resting process on dirt and then annihilate, even about that oil you had on the outboard leg. Mr. Hal is right, eye with excess sun, use Bagovit bronzer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the sun has no tender.

  7. Look what happens when u don't maintain ur stuff, oh Wow they break and turn to sh!t.🤣😲Hal ur full of crap, a man would have know to get some tools derr!!! Did u say u never rinse the salt water out, well theres ur problem. Just take the shorts off Siren, u dont usually wear them anyway🤣 Bogan American fix it job.

  8. it sounded like a one cylinder outboard with no power ! ya might need both , a motor and a dingy ! May i ask if you put the spacer back on the prop shaft ? also laying a 4 stroke down may cause the oil to get into the cylinder reducing power ! Just thoughts i had and its great to see your doing good and haven't tossed each other overboard ! lol

  9. Guys, next time you need to do that gluing job I might suggest 3M weather strip adhesive. Quick bond and holds like there's no tomorrow. I've used it for all kinds of things where I need a really tough but flexible glue. Hope the dink stays together. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

    With repair work… there’s always something you have to go get…. ALWAYS 😂 even big shops will tell you that

  11. Hi, if you find some canvas or even an old jib you can make your own apron for the inflatable, cheap eyelet set and some sail cord, it hurt needs to cover the top sides or go to a pet shop and get some booties for bailey
