One gallon of primer and one gallon of paint should be sufficient for two coats of each.

Nice Boat! Welcome to the site. Another CP San Diego Member! I live in Chula Vista and fish the San Diego Bay, Coronado Islands as well as all the local banks. Tight Lines!

SilverStreek, yes, I’ve pretty much made up my mind on the newer 24 Fantom X. I’ve also asked for advice on THT and the consensus is to go with the larger dome if possible for better returns. Pelagic2530, that sounds like a good idea and I am a Gold Rewards Member so we shall see. Thanks for...

I’m in the market for a dome radar for my Parker 2120SC. I am running a Garmin MFD (943XSV) so I’m looking at the Garmin 18 Fantom units. I’ve noticed the older units (GMR Fantom) have gone down in price to about $1500-1600. But the newer units (Fantom X) cost approximately $500-600 more at...

Did you ever figure out the thickness of gunnel? What length screw for box speakers underneath?

Thanks bro, I used Total Boat-Wet Edge Top Side Paint and I also used their primer. Picked it up on Amazon. For the primer I just went with white, and for the topside paint I went with Hatteras Off White. The Hatteras Off White matched my boat color perfectly.

Paint complete and put together most of it. Much better than the nasty carpet that was in there before. Now a few other things related to electronics to be ready for the season! Also upgraded to a newer helm chair and seaspension pedestal!

Progress Update: We put our first coat of primer and getting ready for second coat. So far it’s turning out pretty good.

I went with the Lewmar 13.5 wheel with the integrated power knob. Haven’t really tested it out on the water yet but the quality and finish of the wheel is great. Don’t mind the hole in my dash, I’m in the middle of demo right now on another project.

Andy, I agree with your comment about prevention; however I bought this boat a few months ago and it was already in this condition. So I am trying to clean it up and keep it from getting this way again. Thanks for the recommendation though, I will look for a metal polish that will hopefully...

I have a 2005 2120SC with a Yamaha 150 as well. I switched to a Power Tech 4 blade prop and noticed an immediate difference with getting on plane quicker and also stern lift. Mine is a 14 pitch prop and it’s what was recommended to me by Eddie from Propellers of San Diego. It was kinda pricey...

I’ve seen this video both the prep/paint. It just puzzles me how this guy didn’t have to do hardly any prep-work, possibly cuz his boat is newer. I’ve removed most hardware but will leave the windows intact for now. I used a carpet cutter to trim the carpeting around the window frames. I used a...

Yes, I’ll be using an epoxy/polyurethane paint called total boat-wet edge.

Progress Report: Wifey and I started prepping/stripping most of the glue on the port side and headliner of the cabin. It is definitely not easy work but it is necessary. We will be back at it on Monday. 🤙🏽

Stray dog, that looks awesome! My boat is a 2005 as well, but yours looks brand new with all the work you did to it! What is the recommended primer that you used? Also, where did you find that cable management up above your headliner and going down the pillars??? That looks phenomenal as well...

That turned out really good! How many coats of paint did you apply? I am going with Total Boat Wet Edge Top side paint in a Hatteras Off White color to kind of match the rest of the boat. Sounds like I got a bunch of work ahead of me before paint though.

I am in the middle of tackling this project right now and am not looking forward to grinding/stripping the glue in the cabin! But I just ordered those grinding wheels. One question is how much do I take off?? The glue is a reddish color, am I trying to get it all off? Or just the top layer of...

Same with mine, definitely more of an issue on the interior portion. I will be testing some methods to attempt to remove soon.

I purchased the boat several months ago and I am slowly cleaning it up and modifying/upgrading it. It has this salt water corrosion on all window frames, some worst than others. Does anyone know of a good product or method to remove this with minimal scratching to the finish?

Congratulations. Nice Boat.
