[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 400524, member: 11276"] Finally got the Alumacraft out of the garage and the Pike moved in over the weekend. Had to vac. out all the leaves that have been falling and dry out a little water before moving on. Was able to get some more paint on it and started cutting and fitting the plywood for the covers that go over the side flotation boxes. Got the 1st one cut and fitted and used that as a pattern for the other side. It didn't work! The other side is approximately 3/4" smaller over half the length. I just figured they would be roughly the same dimensions for both sides. Oh well. Plan for tomorrow is to get one more coat of paint on the bilge area in the stern, finish fitting the plywood and then sealing it with the sealer formula I've been using. Then moving on to finish up fitting and drilling the new transom wood and the SS cover that will close it up. One observation I've made is that this paint I've been trying is taking forever to harden up. There are spots that it still scratches easily. Never noticed this while using it on steel trailers. I'll try and post some more pictures tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
