[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 502974, member: 16767"] I covered the 2 x 4 bunks with some leftover indoor/outdoor carpet I had left over from another project. I used a can of gorilla spray contact cement, and some galvanized staples to secure the carpet to the wood bunks. The bunks are installed on the trailer. I still need to run the wiring for the lights, and install the winch & mount. The hard part is done, no more cutting & welding on this trailer. I finished rough sanding the hull exterior with 80 grit. Having sanded every inch of the hull exterior, and inspecting each rivet for condition & security, I am confident this boat has no loose rivets in the hull skin. I have about 8-10 hours of sanding time invested in this project. I’ll probably run some finer grit over the hull, before I paint it. I plan on rolling Sea Hawk, Aluma Hawk aluminum boat paint on it. I haven’t decided on the color yet, but I’m leaning towards Jon boat green. [/QUOTE]
