[QUOTE="jvanhees, post: 306913, member: 11205"] Pweisbrod, thanks for the input...I will try the rivet rebucking, why not. Does that aluminum weld rod stuff really work? I have read a bunch online about how it is a gimmick/cant get the surrounding metal hot enough/sucks...? Alumaloy for instance, they make it look so easy in their videos. Btw, I like your lund, and will be watching that build! Hsiftac, I will be putting something down on the inside and outside. There is alot of info on the gluvit and steelflex on this site, just not sure (from inexperiece) if that will be enough for a "seal" to waterproof the inside of the boat? Of if you are just "helping" leaky rivets? PLease advise here. Walleye Joe, I wasnt going to coat the entire outside of the boat, just rivets/seams below the WL and new paint above the water....but yours looks really nice, and now I think I may. Once I apply whatever I will use: 5200/gluvit/steel flex, going over it with a primer and paint may not be a bad idea to protect it more? Or maybe I dont need to? either way it looks much better than the bottom of mine... Thanks for all the input. I also found out that the SS160 was only made in '76, 77, 78...narrowing it down.
