It’s replacement is directly related to my actions. Though only with the best of intentions, I made a major mistake. The idea was good the results were, let’s say bad.... is putting it mildly. Started out great, as I used my 4500psi pressure washing rig to clean concrete patio. Beautiful. Then it went like this, the conversation in my head was sort of..... ”hey that works great let’s try it on the pool deck.” “yeah yeah do it” 4500 psi might be just fine but its all about the nozzle. Mine shredded the deck into carpet of torture. Splinters for all. Game over. Play again. Can't wait to see what the deck will look like in 2 weeks! jak, iceman, mikerider and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastMark Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) On a side note...they make a item called a “Surface Washer” that is a round disc shaped unit that converts the direct spray from a pressure washer and spins multiple nozzles directly onto the surface. They work great, do a better and faster job, and wont scar the surface. Never saw one til this year and they work great. Next time ! This may help someone. Now lets see the new deck ! (Most wont take 4500 lbs so you would need to dial your pressure back some.) Edited June 28, 2020 by EastMark MrGutz and zeusand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 No permit. I did have to submit drawing to town when we install pool, just so they could see where it was and make sure it was not on septic tank or fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipemaster Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 My buddy had this sitting in his driveway over 4 years so I put some air in the tires and off to my shop. 1988 boat motor and trailer. 15’ Boston Whaler Sport , 70 HP Johnson and Highlander trailer. Boat used in salt water so trailer got new tires, rims, bearing & races, bearing buddies, new wiring & lights, used SS winch and carpeted runners. Boat had small fire from fireworks and has been siting since 2013 so lots of elbow grease, new mahogany, new battery,new lenses And LED bulbs for lights. We had motor running with ear muffs so it’s off to marina for final checkup and She should be in the water maybe next weekend as the marinas are very busy. mikerider, dooright, iceman and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what boat means right? break out another thousand B. O. A. T. all good after all a boat is just a hole in the water to throw money in. enjoy good luck on the test run dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Pipemaster, Looks like you did a great job of bringing an old Whaler back to life. I used to see these boats everywhere, so popular. Then I guess they got a little pricey. And that 3 cylinder Johnson is the ACE motor of outboards, mike zeusand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
