[QUOTE="nctlspider, post: 325185, member: 12296"] Yes, it was a big hole. They had epoxied over it, and it didn't leak at all. When i started grinding the three layers of paint i saw the old weld/patch. It didn't look solid enough for me, so i chiseled it out. This is my first aluminum boat (or boat at all other than a canoe). I'm not as concerned about looks as I am about being able to handle salt water and oyster beds/rocks in the gulf. I plan on poling this little boat in the flats of the gulf for redfish. Dream big, right? I know what you mean about wanting to build. I've got plans for floors, decks, rod holders, lighting.... but thats all just icing on the cake! Hopefully you'll find some time soon. Thats funny. I always start with the lower unit and work my way up. I hate not having a good working water pump. The engine is usually the last thing i do. [/QUOTE]
