You can buy Lowe spray paint from any distributor. I used to run a body shop and I've told more customers than I can remember that "you can't match faded." If you touch it up, you're going to see it. If you are looking for a really good paint job, scuff the entire boat, prime any bare...

Proper rivets installed correctly do not need anything. You can dip them in 3500 if you just want to be messy.

Thats some good stuff!

It's just like painting anything else. Clean, sand, prime, paint. Just a lot of prep involved in removing all the grease and taping up everything that should not have paint on it (or in it).

Self etching primer is for bare aluminum. You do not need to use it over the regular primer.

Sandblast first On parts getting covered with gluvit, apply gluvit. Scuff, prime and paint if you want to. Rest of the boat gets etching primer on any bare aluminum and then paint.

Good for you getting rid of that pressure treated wood! It has no business being anywhere near your boat. Before you get to happy about using that Thompsons Water Seal, read the following topic. There are better options to seal your fresh wood with that will last you a very, very long time...

I've read lots of good stuff about it. I have not used it or read anything bad about it.

Great Lakes Skipper is good for OEM parts that you can not find anywhere else. Everything else is kinda high. Here's a few of the more popular sites and probably some that many have never heard of https://www.fish307.com/ https://www.boatmateparts.com/ https://www.bartswatersports.com/...

Wait....you say that you can not steer while under power with your Powerdrive? Is this just yours or all of them?

Helpful hint when cleaning things like this. Start spraying at the bottom and work your way up the vertical surface. This will keep any streaks from forming. We used to do this when pressure washing. Sometimes those really clean streaks won't blend out if you start at the top and work your way...

Graffiti Remover? WD40? Goof Off?

We have had one for a couple of years and normally order from https://www.coffeewiz.com/Keurig/ Sometimes you can catch the coffee cheap at odd places like Kohl's and some clothing stores. Best advice I can give you is to clean and descale it every few weeks and always use filtered or bottled...

Post some pics. Full side shot, shot from the rear, transom, transom braces, floor, etc. Otherwise we're all just kinda guessing.

Anytime you have gasoline onboard a fire extinguisher is a good idea!

You don't have to worry so much about that since the compartment is completely open. All of my bass boats had batteries and gas tanks under a closed hatch that was vented. As long as it's vented, you're good to go.

I carry a red Solo cup in my small tins. It's multipurpose. Does that count? Bass boat has automatic and manual plus a spare in the dry storage that can be clipped to a battery.

Down here they just issue you a couple of stickers with the new HID on them. If you can not find anything else, let me know and I can stamp a piece of flat brass stock with the numbers and mail it to you. You can either rivet it on or just smear some 3500 on it and it won't go nowhere any time...

Nice, simple and clean looking. I like it! =D>

Those are nice boats and you got a good motor to go with it. It's not going to need much to get comfortable. Congrats on the new boat! What are you wanting to mod on it?
