blisters

Matt, I would have to asume that it gets well into the 100's in that box, after all, this is way south Forida. It is unlikely that I put the boards away wet however we just concluded rainy season.... There could have been water that seeped into the box.(?) Thank you, Eric PS, the new tramps are beau...

blistering paint

Today I took my foils out of the trailer box and the paint had bubbled. What the heck caused that? One foil is original and one is less than a year old.

Now, where do I go from here?

Tramp material

The material is the same on the ARC21. i would consider it pretty dry plus very fast draining and possibly less windage in the pre flip position! (?)

Tom,
would it be wise to take the tension off the tramp between uses to extend the life of the tramp?

Painting an ARC

My boat needs a makeover.

When applying new paint, can I use the old paint as primer if it is prepared in the correct manner? Or, must it be removed and start from scratch?

tube wall thickness

Are the 12' tubes 6061 T6? And can anyone provide me with the wall thickness needed to go to 12'.

I can find loads of 6063 but 6061 is a little more difficult. What is used by the factory for the ARC boats?

I am bringing this up again since I never got a response the first time.

Has the above procedure been used before on smaller cats? Bill?
