[QUOTE="Tman, post: 429097, member: 22066"] Hi everyone, I've followed this forum for a while and have recently registered to share my jon boat to poor mans bass boat conversion. I bought the boat, trailer, merc outboard, trolling motor and all the random crap for $800 in the middle of a 2016 January in Pennsylvania [ATTACH type="full" alt="A.jpg"]90086._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="B.jpg"]90087._xfImport[/ATTACH] I got the boat back home after getting 2 flat tires from dry rot (Note the new tires and rims i bought at a walmart on the way home) the boat sat until March 2016 and I decided to tackle the trailer. i used a combination of chemical peeling and a couple flap wheel disks on an angle grinder to remove the old paint and rust. down to bare steel. primed and painted. as for most of the nuts and bolts i soaked them in a container of vinegar. this removed all the rust and brought them back to a usable state.

And Ta-Da! Needed to get the boat back on the trailer because it was time to move from my tiny apartment to my new first home.[ATTACH type="full" alt="K.jpg"]90096._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
