[QUOTE="jvanhees, post: 307195, member: 11205"] Ok, so I think I have an order of things that are going to be done first...yell it me if I seem out of order. 1) Strip & wirebrush bottom of boat completely clean 2) Get obvious cracks welded 3) Leak test for rivets that need rebucking (maybe switch 2 & 3) 4) Rebuck the rivets that leaked, and leak test again 5) Drill out remaining leaking rivets and replace with new pop rivets & 5200 6) Leak test once more 7) Steel flex the entire bottom up the bumper ribs on the sides of the boat 8) Move to interior - which may include Gluv-it or somthing over the rivets....not sure yet I really just want to do this right so I never have to worry about it.
