Last week I ordered in some led stop/turn lights to replace my trailer lights. These are flush mounted to the uprights. I drilled the uprights and ran the wires through. Put on two sets to make sure they were bright enough. Cost $24.
Got an old 18 horse Johnson today. Compression was 98...
Painted the back and front sides. Then re-numbered it and put on the transom boards. Turned out pretty good. Then, thankfully, we put it in the water for 4 hours without a drop coming it. Looks pretty good. The wife and I had a great time fishing. Tonight I put on the transducer for my...
Hopefully doing the top painting this weekend after mudding with the kids. That is if the weather holds out. Thanks for the info about the paint and method you used Perchin. I am going to do the back first (since I am mounting my new boards) and then I'll do the rest of the top half.
Thanks Perchin. Your thread will be helpful. I am going to use an old coal bin as a painting booth. We have about 6 of em out here that were abandoned many years ago. Wont have power, but they are made of concrete and have big doors. What kind of paint did you use for your upper parts?
There are a couple of pin hole leaks I found. They had put liquid nail on em and I sanded it all off so they leak again :) I figured Steel Flex can seal them up fine. I guess I will go with it. Then I can use some implement paint on the top half.
Thanks for the input!
Finally got it back from the guy that did the welding. Spring turkey season started so he got delayed lol. Now I have to decide what to do about paint. I really wanted to do steel flex originally but now I am unsure of what to do. Anyone have any advice? I'm going to be doing some...
I guess delays happen. This one was almost a year because I had no time to work on it. Today I am taking in the boat to get the keel guard welded. I may have him weld a couple other places too, just for good measure. He is good and it will be cheap this time. Can't wait to get that done...
Where are you located? I have one in about the same condition I have tried to give away. It doesn't have Virginia Creeper growing all over it either. Save your money for something better or cheaper. Lights will run you about $30. If you have a welder, you can fix up the rest for a few...
Nicely done :) Tying down was one of my concerns also and so I had to come up with my own way. I like yours. Very quick and easy to use.
Looking forward to your future mods.
I don't know for sure, but I am guessing that the wood around the top was put there to reinforce since the seats were taken out. It also gave them something to mount stuff to. 1xs will be easy enough to put back on because they flex so easy. Good luck!
