[QUOTE="Jmar, post: 418160, member: 20812"] So after some successful fishing trips, cleaning the carb on the motor, and fixing a leak at the fuel tank o-ring I decided this is going to be my learning boat. I stripped the inside out down to the bench seats and flipped her over in the yard. To much silicone! After identifying the leaks I began grinding away the silicone and old looking epoxy on the seams. I ordered a quart of Gluvit to apply when it arrives. After the gluvit I think I'm going to paint her completely white. First timer so I'm not getting crazy on the coloring. I noticed a small hole in the middle rib on the bottom. Does anyone know why this would be there? It looks like a man made hole. I think it has a big reason to do with my leak. Any tips on painting? I'm thinking I can go right over the existing paint with maybe some primer here and there. Is that wrong? Should I prime the whole thing? Also, can I get a new registration sticker without paying or just paint around it? The letters and numbers I will replace. Any tips will be greatly appreciated! Thank you. [/QUOTE]
