    1980 Bass Tracker Restoration

    Thanks for the advise on the JB, ill go out on saturday and get some Body filler for the holes. I also sort of want to paint the upper half of the boat (above the water line) just to make it look nice because the rail is all scratched and the old bass tracker decals are pail. I guess i would...

    1980 Bass Tracker Restoration

    I have stripped the boat hull now and its ready for a bleach wash. I used LePage Poly Super Stripper on the inside where bits of old rug and glue were.

    1980 Bass Tracker Restoration

    Thanks for that tip :) Now i have a question for you all. I am thinking im going to leave the boats bottom bare as it is, but i want to paint the upper half. So if I taped it off and put etching primer, then a paint like duplicolor (it will be above the water line) would that turn out good...
