[QUOTE="orttauq, post: 427805, member: 21970"] Project update: I have received the 2 11 foot remote control cables, cleaned up the remote control insides and removed layers of paint. Almost all of the inside of the boat has been sealed. Also received the rivet gun and airframe universal rivets to start replacing/repair those. Next I plan on building a better mount for the remote control since the was just held in place with long bolts that held it off the side to clear the top rail. Not a good way to do it. Another issue is over the years the remote control has been mounted it 4 places leaving 4 set of three holes that I now need to fill. They are too big for rivets so not sure what to do there. I am also going to have to wire it for navigation lights since we will be using it after dark a lot. Found some very low draw, retro looking LEDs. :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CRBLRWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 [/QUOTE]
