Hello All, I’m a newbie to the boating world, bear with me! Lol. Recently I purchased a boat and after doing some research, I think it’s a ‘56 or ‘57 LoneStar Holiday 16ft. It seems to be in fairly good shape after removing over 200gals of leaves and water...Shopvac was doing overtime! It’s gutted, no floor, no foam, no seats, nothing but hull, stringers, aluminum seat boxes and the dash. I guess my question is, what do I do now? How do I move forward in restoring this boat? Should I strip the aluminum of paint and seal rivets? What products and procedures do I need to consider? I’m a carpenter so I’m confident in my skills just need to know the steps to consider before starting. Any advice, warnings and/or tips are appreciated! Thanks
