[QUOTE="wingsnhammers, post: 300469, member: 9821"] I think I have decided to go with a "simple" build. My version of simple is to strip all 5 layers of paint off the boat, squirt it with a self-etching primer, roll on an enamel paint, and cut and carpet new bench tops. I may add a front deck, depending on time constraints. I really want to get this thing in fishing condition. There will not be anything groundbreaking about this boat. I will primarily use it to fish and hunt out of, so I may add a few functional items. I did water test it and found out there is single leak right above the drain plug hole. I believe it is leaking from a broken off screw that hold the rear handle on. I didn't find a single leaky rivet! =D> I've got the boat off of the trailer and flipped right now. I almost have the entire outside stripped and ready for primer. I have a feeling that the inside will be a bit harder to strip. I want to get this boat moving, but I may not make great progress. I have other duties to tend to during the days and have to keep up with 3 online classes. It seems like I don't get much time to work on it between classwork, bad weather, and whatever else has to be done. Anyway, here is a progress picture.
