I used Duralux Duck Boat Drab. Got it a Home Depot for about $40 / gallon. I really like the color. I cleaned the hull to almost complete bare aluminum with a wire wheel, then put a thick coat of self etching primer, and rolled on two coats of the Duralux. Wish I wouldn't have wasted so much...

LOL yea I have been thinking if I ever want to get something bigger or get a different boat someone may not want it green. Been thinking about just getting a cover for it. I have only had it out 3 or 4 times since I got it cleaned up and running. And it had been pretty well taken care of and...

For now, it's because I am getting a transom mount for free.

One more quick pic with the old 1965 Johnson 9.5 hp (excuse me for thinking it was a 9.9 before). It wont be staying white although i kind of like it.

May be another youtube video to watch!

Finally im legal! I went the cheap route thinking if it turned out crappy i could just paint over it but im happy with it. Kind of reminds me of an old ww2 jeep. Its finally my weekend so im gonna go to the lake tomorrow. Ready for duck season now!

Very nice fish. I especially like the smally. Ive never caught one. Looks like you have been enjoying the fruits of your labor very much.

I used this last week. Same color too. I like it. I tried to spray it but I don't know what I'm doing and couldn't get a good spray. Too small of a compressor and the paint was too thick. I added thinner twice and still wasn't getting good results so I rolled it. I like the color. Doing...

This is the first coat. I think I might do some very light sanding before the second coat. Since I had to use a roller I didn't get real even coverage. Not real happy with it but I do like the color. I think the 2nd coat should look better. I suppose it's just gonna get scratched up anyway...

How big of a compressor were you using? My spraying plans didn't work out so I ended up having to paint the whole thing with a 4" roller and a brush. It sucked.

I am wanting to add a mount for a trolling motor. I don't want a foot controlled motor, at least not yet so I need something that can attach to my bow plate for a transom mount. I am wondering if anyone has ever tried this one from basspro. Heres the link...

Coming right along! You will be back on the water in no time.

Thanks for the information! I will check the paint label tomorrow when it gets here. I may pick your brain about spraying as I have never done it. I will check what kind of gun my dad has and get the specs of my compressor so I can provide more info with my questions.

3:30ish little after 7 see pic most likely sprayed outside but rolled in the garage when done Duralux marine paint, I just checked about 4 different sources and none of them mention either of your choices... The only thing I saw was Durable, water resistant alkyd enamel...

Here is the work done on the bottom to date.

Update on the boat. I got most of the prep done and light coat of primer on most of the outside. Still a little bit to do. Paint is ordered and should be here tomorrow. I went with Duralux Duck Boat Drab. I plan on spraying it Friday or Saturday after work. Will keep you updated. This is...

Looking good. Any new updates?

Nice job there buddy =D>

Thanks! Sure was fun. Took a little bit of work to get that Johnson running but it runs real nice and pushes the boat pretty good. I would estimate about 18mph. Fast enough for my needs.

My first ever YouTube video as photobucket was giving me fits. Still have a few very slight leaks but I'm not too worried about them. Wasn't even enough for the water to pool up. Just damp aluminum. The outboard fired up pretty easily and after we had just got to WOT it died. I pulled it a...
