[QUOTE="zackn, post: 136322, member: 3087"] Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Zack, and I'm in Omaha, Nebraska. I recently picked up a 12' unmarked aluminum boat for $125, and have just started the process of getting it into (reasonable) shape. I have no idea what make or year it is, but the previous person to have it registered listed it as a 1971 Alumacraft. But after viewing TC1OZ's recent post about his 12' Springbok, it almost looks like we have the same thing? The really fun part is that some prior owner attempted to fix the leaking rivets by slathering the seams with an epoxy-based fiberglass compound. Needless to say it didn't fix the leaks. I'm having to use a wood chisel to chip it off, and I should be done by 2012. Well, I'm looking forward to making use of all the great info here, so I don't end up at the bottom of the lake along with my leaky boat!
