Had a great fishing season up here in Central/Northern California, but fishing is pretty much the pits until salmon starts up again. Soooo, it's time for a face lift on the Dos Locos. It's a 1979 23' Ablie Special. It has been a great boat and is well deserving of some attention. I'll be taking the tower off for powder coating as well as the old windshield frame. Has anyone re-done a windshield frame? I tried to get a new one from Steve Blackman, but he said they were no longer available.
The biggest job will be the non-skid deck and figuring out how to seal the leaky deck hatches. I read some posts from nearly a year ago about spray-on trunk bedliner, color matched. Curious if they are still happy with the spray-on material. It seems like a good idea. The deck has four plastic Temptress hatched, probably the originals, that still look ok but leaks badly. Seems like every gallon of water on the deck turns into two gallons in the compartments. Any suggestions.
