So I have a 1995 Lund Pro Sport 1700 that am in the process of fixing up to sell and I want to hear about Seadek and EVA foam flooring options you see on eBay and online. The main floor is carpet and looks OK but I think if I updated flooring it would complete the boat. Also the boat has a back...

Today is the BIG day! I got all the carpet in, floor done and all wired up. My little control center completed and ready to go Well here it is all done and ready to find a new home! This was a LOT OF WORK! so many little pieces of trim, so many things to be fixed and corrected but...

We are getting close to finishing this puppy! A couple things I do that some people overlook are small but important in the long run. I like to fill all the random holes up in the hull the correct way (weld/braze) and install things like transducers using epoxy. You end up with no holes and a...

Well I got some serious work done on the boat this last week! The pictures make everything look easy but it takes a lot of time and work to do these rebuilds. I guess for me it takes twice as long, I can't settle until its perfect. :P Took a while but I got the flooring cut out and ready for...

Today I decided to get the hatch and front deck done as well as get the rough cut out of the floor done. Laid out the vinyl and got it ready to glue on to the PVC sheet Fast forward about 3hrs and its all done except for the nav light base. If only I can remember where I put it... #-o...

Had a nice day last week so I decided to paint the trailer. It was in decent shape but needed a new fresh coat to spruce it up! Before After Hard to see but it looks way better now! One more job checked off the list now it was time to fab up some brackets to get my new hatch fitted in. I...

gatorglenn, to bend the pieces I just used a vise and a big hammer with careful persuasion. :)

Sounds about right!

Got all the panels carpeted today and was going to do a couple coats of Tuff Coat so I could get the panels in but the gallon I received was bad. Not sure what happened but it was a off color and wouldn't roll. I noticed right away but decided to put a little on and its bad. #-o So I shifted...

Worked on some of the hardware today, decided to blast and clear the parts to clean them up and look nice. Left side grungy - Right side sparkly new! Also got all the bare spots primed for the Tuff coat i'll be applying All taped off ready to put on the first coat Went to the store and...

Not time to build the transom! I got 3 pieces of plywood I will sandwich together to get the correct thickness so it will fit perfectly. All cut to length and glue applied Alabama clamps in place to ensure a complete bond :lol: Once the glue was cured it was time to cut to final...

Now that I got the holes, leaks and big stuff out of the way its time to shine the hull up! Before After the acid wash The stuff I used was the aluminum hull cleaner you buy a places like academy ect... Works good but can get outa hand if your not careful! Took some time and used a...

Yup they get bad in the transom but luckily mine was good.

I got a basket case 1989 Yamaha 30hp with lots of corrosion and noticed that when advancing the throttle manually the linkage to the stator will not move. I disconnected the linkage from the stator and the lever moves but the stator is stuck. Do I need to pull the flywheel to break it free?

The hull is scratched all over so i'm wanting to make it look uniform and consistent. A da sander or similar makes swirl marks and I want a brushed look. Ive done it before but by hand with a scotchbrite keeping the lines straight all the way from front to back. I'm selling the boat so I want it...
