[QUOTE="weldit, post: 342847, member: 13549"] Sounds like yall made a good deal with the boat and motor.I just joined this forum today and wish I had heard of the steel flex sooner.I stipped my 18' down,turned her over and welded on 4 new strips of aluminum where the bunks had worn the hull thin. It was pitted in some areas and some guys told me that could be from using treated wood for the bunks.Seems that the theoryis that when the bunks get wet they act as a conducter for a reaction between copper sulfide and aluminum.So while I had it off the trailer I fabricated new bunks from aluminum rectangle tubing.It would have been nice to coat the boat repair with something better than the primer and paint from the marine supplier.
