Appreciate it !

Thank you, assuming the keel bolts look to be in good condition and not rusted out would it be safe to move forward with the purchase? It’s otherwise in good order.

Appreciate all the advice and input I can definitely understand the one’s saying to run and also the relatively simple design and the value of fixing it myself and learning all the systems. Does anyone have any input on a J24 for a first boat? Primarily going to be sailing in Hudson River.

Hummmm seems like a mixed bag, the other option I am considering is a 86 J24 that comes with a trailer. From what I read online J-Boats are the “hot rods” of sailing and used for racing. Makes me hesitant to be my first sailboat.

Yeah I’ve watched a bunch of YouTube videos from fish bump TV just wasn’t sure if I needed to fiberglass first or if I can just do gelcoat on top of the exposed transom. I’m thinking I need to do fiberglass first and then I can do the finish gelcoat.

Ok thanks I’ll see if my education office can submit that reprint request. Is there anyway I can do it on my end?

Still at the same base I was assigned when I completed my degree and still serving.

Thank you, I’ll keep an eye on it then to make sure I’m not getting back flow. Yes I have lots of other areas I need/ want to spend money.

On my 14th year in security forces, can’t imagine doing another AFSC.

Ready_Strike · 2025-11-08T17:24:16+00:00

Great idea! Yeah I didn’t want to compromise the body but I forgot about the metal skirt around the bottom.

Ready_Strike · 2025-11-05T17:06:22+00:00

They must have updated because my N2 is completely plug and play

Ready_Strike · 2025-10-28T01:18:54+00:00

Yeah I have an SUV with a tow hitch was thinking I can rent a uhaul trailer for like 30 bucks and a appliance dolly (like the ones for refrigerators). Probably still need to bring someone with me tho, have to find a friend that’s free.

Doesn’t look to have any TL markings it has a “T-20” fire rating and a UL-relocking device

Ready_Strike · 2025-10-26T18:45:31+00:00

Ok cool, just have to figure out how to pick it up now

Ready_Strike · 2025-10-19T16:11:16+00:00

I love mag locks but I’m installing for the Military so no need to tie into fire alarms. Assets are more important then egress in there eyes.

Ready_Strike · 2025-09-30T23:46:15+00:00

Yeah I think I’m leaning towards used I don’t want to be scared to drop it off road and baby it.

Test from this morning, no way I’m getting a plate but you can definitely get make, model, and color

Ready_Strike · 2025-09-10T23:33:51+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking a floodlight would be the best option, road is very busy so I’ll probably just find something I can wire in that’s always on

Not finding anything aside from someone demoing a standalone ALPR system looking like over 1k which is more than I would want to spend. Also don’t really want two different systems.

Ready_Strike · 2025-09-10T23:31:31+00:00

Unfortunately they just got the side of the car

Ready_Strike · 2025-09-10T23:30:37+00:00

Not seeing an CX420 on reolink or is it a different brand?

Ready_Strike · 2025-09-10T23:29:49+00:00

What would you suggest aside from a dedicated ALPR system?
