[QUOTE="Skiffing, post: 389506, member: 15889"] Thanks Sonny - I know it's bad stuff - but when converted the aluminum will not corrode. It's on the back burner for a while anyway. I did design a containment if I were to do the bilge and got a cost on disposal - less than $200 - so not too bad. I did some small tests but not happy with results......... knowing the area below welded deck cannot be properly prepped. Anyway - a couple of things I did that I'm not happy with: 1. Limber holes / channels in bench seat. I used 2.5 inch PVC cut in 1/4 for corners and 1/2 in the middle to drain front deck. They are too small, easily clogged and need to be routed out to clear seaweed, etc. I should have used 4 or 6 inch. 2. Lights. The blue LED voltage instrument light is way too bright at night. The Nav lights reflect off the bow anchor rollers and the anchor light reflects from the windshield. On the other hand - the boat has caught fish and is A LOT of fun.
