what the insurance company could insure my boat through?

Ive been a car insurance agent with Century 21 for the past Two years and has not offered insurance boat and I just purchased a classic 1966 18ft larson boat and wanted to make sure .. please help I live in California Los Angeles and the boat is not kept at a marina its kept in my house

No doubt the easiest way to get quotes for insurance is on the web. Why waste time on the phone calling around? The last time the required contributions on insurance i used the comparison of these sites and it was great. this is the place and was quickly used as less than 5 minutes. The last thing I want to do is listen to elevator music while waiting for a salesperson. Anyway, I cited the well and ended up saving money so I was happy. So shop around and compare quotes which is easy on the network. Good starting point is on this site. Good http://insurance.deal4-you.com luck.

Chris Craft Wooden Boat

Wooden boat bottom paint?

I am currently working on a 1955 Chris Craft Corsair 45 foot. I have selected the first and the bottom of painting, but I'm not sure what the use of a sealer or even if a sealant is even necessary. any suggestions?

Sealant is not necessary. Remove any peeling paint by scraping, grinding and then rough up the existing paint for good adhesion of the new coating. Use at least two layers.

How To Build A Wooden Boat

how to build a wooden boat
MODEL SEND HELP!?

OK so I'm currently building a 3-foot wooden boat as a project for school and the need poseidon figure for the front of the ship … its like a sailboat model of age … and I can not find any made of wood … but I can get a statue of "resin cold molding "and then would have to cut .. So my question is does anyone know how to cut cold cast resin, so that I can make it fit on the boat … or … Does anyone know where I can buy a timber so you can jus saw him then? Thanks

This is hard. The most I have seen are quite looking pewter and cheese. I have not seen one in years, however, very limited supply in terms of sizes and subjects. Ask Vessels building forums. Second option is to contact Loyalhanna suppliers and Arsenal (http://www.loyalhannadockyard.com/) and ask if they know where to get one. If you decide to modify a cold cast resin statue, use Dremel tool with a mask and goggles appropriate. Some statues are cast in cold stone dust mixed with resin that creates a nasty little dust on the ground … and it is difficult to address. Perhaps a better option would be the modification of a plastic toy or figure modeling purposes – usually do not contain powder stone and is easier to modify. Typically a knife Exactly – heated over a candle or not – will do wonders. Check toy stores, ebay, etc for good songs. Think in toy soldiers or action figures and the like.
