Well after close to forty hours of paint and whatever else removal from the bottom. I replaced sixty some odd rivets. Then gave her two coats of coat it and two coats of bed liner. Now to let her cure them flip her over and do the inside.

I finally got some coat it on the bottom today. I’m really ready to start working on the inside. The paint and whatever else they had on there was hell.

Almost clean

So finally got time to strip the old epoxy and caulk and several layers of crap off my boat. Li have noticed that the electrolysis has made the boat turn green in spots as well as pin holes should I treat the aluminum with something before I use coat it.

Thanks again Mr. Johnny I bought the 17" riveter from harbor freight on my way back from Orlando. Love the storms every afternoon just like home. Also my boat appears to have steel flex along with other caulk on it should it all be stripped off.

Just got back from vacation and ready to get this boat going what rivets should i get and where should I get them.

Thank you very much Mr. Johnny that is a great idea. Also does the type of epoxy matter? I have to order a lot of rivets i have found many that the head has turned almost to powder. But that will have to wait as it is off to Orlando for me for five days.

Well during cleaning today I found this. Maybe five total only two have holes so how do i fix them. Coat it or is there welding to be done.

Had a hour or so after work so I removed a ton of rivets to find about 150 lb of water logged foam.

Well I managed to read some of the painted over stickers designed by b.a.s.s built by Duracraft. I was also wondering what all the white caulk on the boat is. Guess its time to bust out a wire wheel and order some coat it.

Ok so after a rough few weeks of work back to the boat. I did find under many layers of paint a b.a.s.s champ sticker on the side of the boat. it measures 16' 1 is this a old duracraft any info is appreciated.

Well we had her in the water for almost five hours today not a drop of water came in. I would love to buy the boat in pearson but I would have to dip in the bank for that. The CFO of the family has that set aside for seaworld next month so I'm not playing with that hornets nest.

I agree the spray foam has to go. I hope to use it this weekend the start the deep cleaning.

yes sir it is spray foam. I Really want to keep it pretty open low decks. I am at a loss of what to do for kids seating. As for the foam I have filled the boat with water and inspected the bottom found one rivet with a small leak. I plan to put it in the water this weekend and see if she leaks...

Thanks been lurking and dreaming of some of these nice boats I see on here.

Maybe to much of one. I am trying to make my bargain buy a kid friendly family fisher. Which brings me to my questions.What make is it what should I do to make it safe and fun. Any help is greatly appreciated.
