[QUOTE="HendersonPhoto, post: 366139, member: 15194"] I was given a 14ft. Valco and trailer, basically just to get it off the Ace Hardware property and thought I'd take a crack at getting it back to being sea-worthy. This is going to be a long... long process, I think. I've started by completely stripping down to bare metal, removing all of the old fix attempts, pulling the wood and removing all lower seat rivets (since every one leaked.) I really like some of the Valco conversions I've seen in this forum, so that's my goal. Thinking about removing the center bench and installing a deck to take the stress off the lower rivets. I'm completely open to any ideas! [/QUOTE]
