[QUOTE="ericman, post: 317013, member: 11909"] All the old benches are out. All the holes are filled with rivets. I moved one set of oar-locks. I figured I'd cup-brush the paint and patina off the things. They look like they are cast out of bronze. That's kind of neat. I think I won't paint over them. The layout is done, now comes a lot of sanding, wire brushing, JB-Welding of some seams, just to be sure, and paint. Oh yeah, I think I'm going to make some sort of gunnel to floor support just to further stiffen everything up. The floor has ribs every six inches and that's like a tank, so that little bit of flex on the sides caused by my new 50 inch space between benches contradicts the rest of the boat. [/QUOTE]
