Just had to post this!

For the plywood sealer, most people on here have mentioned using spar urethane. You may also want to see if your local LHS carries some type of epoxy resin. As for the carpet glue, there are some that you can order online, but I would think whatever Lowes or whoever you go to their carpet glue...

you may want to try these to start with before dropping that kinda cash on either one of those in your original post. https://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=76175&pdesc=Real_Shade_Boat_Seat_Umbrella_with_Bracket&aID=601B3&merchID=4006 The site wouldn't let me copy the pics...

I currently have '66 20hp Johnson that I would like to convert this same way? Does anyone know if this is possible? Can I do the same as what Pappy suggested?

I think I see a foxbody Mustang, 80's boxtop Chevy truck, and maybe the front end of a Malibu or El Camino lurking in the background? Are those other projects you are working on?

Try and post up some pics if you can, that way we can better assist you.

great looking job so far! I would definitely recommend getting the mini-jacker plate from TH Marine and use it instead of the current wood.

The best thing I have found to strip paint off of aluminum is elbow grease and wire wheels. Check out my build thread to see what I mean. lol

I would think if you use a countersink on the hole you drill into the decking would make the screw fit more flush depending on what type of screw you use. Plus after you put carpet over it you'll never see the screw head popped up through the carpet.

I definitely agree with cavman. If you are going to do it, do it right by sanding off the old paint first. It can be pain to sand it down but inthe long run its worth it. I know, as I just finished sanding, priming and painting mine. Check my thread in my signature, I have everything listed...

Well finally got a great day of weather to paint!!! woohoo!! :lol: Some of these pics are hard to make out since it was late in the day and it was shady in the backyard. I hope to be able to flip her right side up in the next couple of days to start working on the inside. Here is what I...

Looking good!! I maybe interested in the console if I think I can fit it in mine. Let me know if you still have it.

What hp and year is that johnson outboard?

Thanks! Didnt get to paint this weekend since it rained all day Saturday and the humidity was way to high on Sunday to paint. But it seems to be cooling off here finally so maybe I'll get a chance this week.

Thanks for the info! I posted a couple of pics of my trailer in my thread. Check it out if you have a moment, because I was wondering if you could give me some more info on the rollers that are located in your beam. It seems yours may have been replaced at some point since it looks as if...

Patience is definitely needed!!!!!! Here is an updated shot where I managed to get it all primed and ready for paint. Hopefully Sunday morning I'll have enough time to get the paint on her weather permitting of course. And here is a couple of pics of the trailer since I primed it as well...

I have the same trailer as you, and I've got some questions. But first were you able to find shocks for it? I'll snap some pics of my trailer this evening and post in my build thread in my signature. My trailer is configured a little bit different than yours but both of ours has that unique...

well since i'm going to add in the enamel hardner to the paint, I think i may have to roll it on, since the hardner will only allow me so much time to let the paint sit in the can before it becomes useless. I'm not sure I will have enough time to apply thin coats and let it dry before re-applying.

My plan is to use tractor implement paint on the bottom, so I am going to use Massey Ferguson gray, with the added enamel hardner. And I might do a section of red above the splash line. Need to get it primed today so that I can flip her right side up to redo the transom. I found it kinda hard...

Well here she is gentlemen. Finally getting 37 years of old paint off her. Man what a task. But the industrial grinder with wire cups and disk pads help out tremendously. I understand now why my father has such huge forearms after holding that thing for extended periods of time. What a...
