[QUOTE="ggoldy, post: 372177, member: 12539"] 1sgt, if you already have a sentimental link to that guy, then you have to keep it. I think you'll find it to be WAY more work than you want but, you can use it as a learning tool. You already know what dissimilar metals, treated lumber, and it looks like salt water, can do. Keep your eyes open for a more seaworthy hull while experimenting on the old one. Maybe learn to weld, rivet aluminium. If you can get it to hold the water out long enough, and it looks like it may take a 'full hull condom' to do that, you can learn about the stability of small hulls. You can place enough water containers in the back to simulate the weight of the motor you want, and see how it sets. The worst you can do is sink it, (grinning) it appears that it's been on the bottom before....for awhile! (early 70's Hurlburt Fld and RAF Welford) [/QUOTE]
