[QUOTE="WMcGrath, post: 309874, member: 11363"] Hey all, did some initial clean up work today. It will be slow going until Saturday. I only have a few hours of day light after I get back from work. Took the seats off which proved to be harder then I was anticipating due to some bolts that didn’t want to move. Also removed some of the random cup holders and plastic bits that were around the boat. I checked it for leaks and several were found. I marked all the rivets that were leaking. Ideally I should replace the rivets, but would caulking them be just as effective? I've seen people do both on here. I'm not a purest, so I'm prone to sealing them up rather then replacing them. Is there any other reason I should replace them other then the purest factor? I plan on leaving the bottom of the hull unpainted. Wanted to add some pictures of the trailer on here which seems to be in great shape except for the winch. I'm going to take it off tomorrow and give it a cleaning and see if its salvageable. It works just fine. If I'm missing something you guys see in the pictures point it out so something can be done about it! Haha. Clearly the brake light needs to be replaced. Put some pictures of the boat with the seats taken off and a quick wash down. If time allows I'll take the transom wood off tomorrow which, as you can see in the picture, needs to be replaced. Still on the fence about the design. I'll keep you guys updated. [/QUOTE]
