Dirty b-1300

Here’s the first Boler posting of 2020, an overly dirty model b-1300 found completely by random in some south Calgary neighbourhood. Truth be told it was captured in late 2018, but as many of you know, we’re perpetually behind in getting these published. Keeping the lights on here at BIGDoer.com is full time occupation in itself even before we tackle new stuff. And Bolers are the last to be considered since they’re the least viewed of all the subjects on this website. Still, we so love them and as time permits we’ll show you more. Even if only one of you drops by to see.

Back to the subject at hand…this here one suffers from an affliction often seen on old Bolers. It’s might just be dirt but we understand a type of mould that seems attracted to the fibreglass or gelcoat as it ages could also be responsible. Or it might be both. Regardless, it’s not terminal however and I guess with some proper cleaning products and a bit of elbow grease, what ever it is can be made to go away. And without any permanent damage we understand. We’ve seen this problem before out there in the wild, but this is the worst example so far. It matters not the colour, but really stands out when the base coat is white. One section below the window seems little affected.

Only some Bolers got the b-1300 sticker (with a stylized lower case b). Not sure the rhyme or reason, some got them, some didn’t. Seems most so adorned date form 1970s period. The 1300 refers to 13 feet, the most common size Boler. Now you know.
