[QUOTE="Matt Creed, post: 309059, member: 11361"] Got the trailer stripped down and benches taken out of the boat. Note to self: never buy anything from someone who thinks they know how to weld. There's all kinds of sloppy weld jobs on the trailer. Nothing structural, and it will all be removed. This guy welded on angle steel for light brackets, 2 bolts for a spare tire carrier, and some other random crap. Not to bad mouth him, but he obviously couldn't weld the thin aluminum on these old boats. He tried to weld the benches on and cut through the aluminum. My plan is to put in nice wood benches using angle where the holes from the previous welds are for brackets. I'm gonna rivet in the angle and then use JB metal fill for the outside of the hole. Pictures to come as soon as I get to work on it tonight! [/QUOTE]
