Thanks for the advise on the JB, ill go out on saturday and get some Body filler for the holes. I also sort of want to paint the upper half of the boat (above the water line) just to make it look nice because the rail is all scratched and the old bass tracker decals are pail. I guess i would...
I have stripped the boat hull now and its ready for a bleach wash. I used LePage Poly Super Stripper on the inside where bits of old rug and glue were. I also took out all the foam (it will all be replaced)
Now on the console there are holes from graphs people mounted over the years. I talked to...
I couldnt find 402 either and it wasnt on the plate, but i was going by what i found on the internet and what seems to be an identical match.
I would also love to see what you do to your boat too!
Here are the new pictures. I actually have the console and floor out now, I'll post those ones later. As you can see, I marked which terminal went where by putting corresponding letters on the tape. Im not the best electrician :mrgreen:

Thanks for that tip :)
Now i have a question for you all. I am thinking im going to leave the boats bottom bare as it is, but i want to paint the upper half. So if I taped it off and put etching primer, then a paint like duplicolor (it will be above the water line) would that turn out good...
Well heres my Boat. I didnt take pictures before cleaning most of it because it was really bad. The guy before me left it under a tree with no cover for 4 years :shock: So far I've taken all the junk out and took most of the floor out on the rear casting deck. Ill be saving the floor boards...
Hey everyone, I have been following Tinboats for a long time and now I need some help. I just Bought a 1980 Bass Tracker (pics will come soon!) and i need to change the old flooring and carpet. Since im doing this restoration, i thought i might as well paint the boat too. I was wondering what...
