Hey guys after lurking and looking at all the sweet mods you guys have done I decided to get in on this. So I bought me a boat the other day and am looking forward to making it mine. It is a 1981 Lowe 1436 flat bottom, both the trailer and boat are in decent shape structurally and not so good cosmetically lol. (I will try to get pics up tomorrow) So as I looked over the boat I dubbed it with the name Swamp Donkey. The boat is however mostly welded, especially around the rotten transom. so I was wondering, should I replace the transom before or after I begin the process of painting the outside of the boat? and If I were to replace it how would you guys go about cutting the welds on the corner braces? cutoff wheel? angle grinder? I know that I need to show you guys pics and Ill be sure to get them up soon! thanks in advance and I look forward to joining this community!
