    I'm a bass fisherman so I want to carry my baits with me in totes in my storage compartments when I put them in. Do you think putting the foam in everywhere I can under my deck and everything will be a good idea?

    Alumacraft 1648 Project - Getting Ready, Again

    Thank you sir. I was wondering if I added foam under my deck everywhere there wasn't storage if that would help with flotation or if it make it unstable. I'm a bass fisherman so I want to carry baits with me in totes in my storage compartments and those can get kind of heavy depending on what...

    That's it thanks. You can use the kind you get from Lowes though right? You think it would be a good idea for like under my front deck and back I'm going to put storage compartments. I was thinking that in all the areas that weren't part of the storage I could put foam in. I don't know if that...

    i know in welding we use the flapper disk to remove rust and stuff it gets that stuff gone quick. I just don't know how it would do on the aluminum. What is a roll and tip paint job?

    I'm in north Carolina. I went to lowes today and looked at prices on stuff and i was curious if it matter what type of plywood you use. My lowes only had a little bit of pine plywood and then blondewood hardwood plywood. I'm not sure if it really matters which you use.

    does the insulation foam help? I have read that only the foam from the seats helps it stay afloat and the rest want do anything for it. I just wondered about how true that was. Well keep it from being totally lost if it was to sink i guess i should say other than keep afloat. I think for...

    Alumacraft 1648 Project - Getting Ready, Again

    Thank you. I stripped it all out yesterday and I figured the first thing I need to do is stripped all the old paint and fix any leaks. Its been sitting for 2 years. Would you recommend sanding it all down or using the rustoleom aircraft cleaner I have read about on here.

    So if you were to remove the seats could you could the foam in pieces to fit in between the braces of the boat then lay down a floor over top of that? Do you just use plain plywood from like lowes and then water seal it? I'm really confuzed on what type of wood to use

    How do you do your wood. I just got a Jon boat and stripped it and looking to put a deck and everything in it. I was wondering if you just buy regular ole plywood from like Lowes and then seal it. If so what do you use for your water seal and how you do it?
