[QUOTE="WantABigBass, post: 177052, member: 4545"] It is confirmed. We are going to have a white bottom and a blue top. We are having great weather in East Texas. Saturday, I got the first coat of white on the bottom of the boat today. It looks good so far. I plan on getting a second coat on after church tomorrow and the maybe this week finish the blue. I also got started on water sealing the transom wood. I did a lot of research this week on wood vs. aluminum framing on the inside of boat modification. I am really leaning on keeping weight down and using aluminum. I ran across some post on Dura-fix brazing rods. After researching...I have not been impressed. It took some looking to find people who really had used this stuff. Without solid confidence I am going to stay away from it. I will finalize my plans after I flip the boat and put it back on the trailer. Current plan is aluminum framing with pop rivets and 1/2 plywood. Not finalized. Any suggestions?? My goal now is to be finish painting by next weekend. This will be dependent on the weather not getting too cold. Praying for 40+ days. I will take some more pictures Sunday. [/QUOTE]
