[QUOTE="sconnie12, post: 428985, member: 9254"] As the weather is warming up, I am getting ready to keep moving things forward. The eventual goal will be to wire in lights, and put in seats and storage compartments...i don't plan on decking because I'm concerned about the stability. The next two items will be painting above the water line/inside the boat and replacing the wood on the transom. I was looking for advice in these two areas: 1) What is the best wood to use for the transom? I've seen mixed responses through searching the forums 2) For the rest of the boat paint, if I sand with 80 grit, wash with some/water, and then use a self etching primer before spray painting, will that be enough for strong adhesion? The last boat I painted already had paint affixed to it. Thanks in advance for the advice. [/QUOTE]
