[QUOTE="ericman, post: 318239, member: 11909"] Got some more work done over the past week, not much, but some. Just could not get those **** dents to stop that clunking in and out, no matter how many times I tried with a torch and a quench, so I patched it to stiffen it up. Gunnel supports are in and that really stiffened everything up. I put in one strut on the side that had the most damage, something must have fell on it some time ago. Also added rivets to the gunnel to get rid of the last of that annoying rattle. Everything is sanded on the inside and it will be washed and rinsed out and flipped over tonight to start sanding and painting the bottom and outside of the boat. I'm tossing around the idea of having a spray-on bedliner put in instead of paint for the inside floor, mainly to deaden sound and maybe actually last awhile. Even factory paint goes to hell. Has anyone done a bedliner and then hunted and fished for several years and been extremely happy with the results? [/QUOTE]
