I have read most of the posts on conversions and modifications, all the way from page one to page 113. On the subject of coatings with epoxy, it seems that the primary products used are Gluvit and Steelflex. Parker's Duck Paint seems to be heavily used, as well. I have been working with System...

Got the transom (pressure treated) off, and the extra strip of aluminum that was used to reinforce the old. Have about 60 bolt holes to patch, and will rehab a transom from non treated plywood, coat with epoxy, and reinstall. I have decided to attach the decks directly to the cross bracing, to...
