I've been following your build younggun, bookmarked it in fact. You've been doing great on it!

So, a flap disk on the angle grinder got through the bed liner, and make quick work of the bondo covering the aluminum plate that was blind riveted on the bottom of the hull (starboard side). Figure I'm going to need 6-8 more disks to clear the bottom down to a nice clean bare aluminum hull. I...

Almost forgot another question: What would y'all do with that mess of a middle bench? I'm a bit worried about stability if I take it out... I was thinking of reenforcing the bench with some aluminum angle running under the lip of the bench and attached to the side walls of the boat. It's also...

Now onto the questions, as I seek some insight from those more experienced than me! - What is the best way to remove a rubberized coating (like that on the bottom of the hull)? Flap disk, wire cup, something else? - Once everything is stripped away, should I fill the gap in between the keel...

Starboard patch: Port patch:

Silicone patching: Rubberized liner on the bottom from the PO (stuff from auto parts store):

The port side of the middle bench has pulled away from the bottom rivet altogether: There are some cracks where the gussets are welded to the top of the gunwales: Cut off the rear cleat, cutting through the rusted screws (there was also one on the inside of the gunwale new the bow, that I...

First, the hack job of under the middle bench:

So, I got about to working on the boat a bit this morning and accomplished: Removing cleats, rod holders, handles, and various other rusted and stuck bits of hardware. Removed the rest of the rotting plywood from the middle bench and it seems to have covered up a place where one of the PO's cut...

You want to make sure that you coat both sides and all the edges with a few coats of spar urethane to be sure that it doesn't absorb any water. Also, I'd reccommend hitting the bolts with some 5200 when you attach the new transom to seal them as well. Seal it up good and it'll last you quite a...

Not too much progress on the boat since last update, yet I'm borrowing a pressure washer this weekend, to get working on stripping/cleaning the hull inside and out. Also scored a nearly new Minn Kota Edge bow mount for $130 off of CL! She's been very well taken care of, and is clean, neat, and...

"Brand new, Never used. Works like a champ. Its worth your money," If it was never used, how do you know it "Works like a champ?!" #-o

This one mentions boat seats in it's uses but it looks like it only comes in black or white... https://rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=117

So, I've got two folding seats that came with my rig (see my build post in my sig), and they need some love. There are no tears, and once I wash them up I'm sure that they'll look better, yet they won't match the color scheme. So that's where my question comes in: has anyone used Rustoleum's...

Lookin' real good! Bookmarked, as I'll be following this build for sure! :)
