[QUOTE="Wpgboat, post: 324205, member: 10209"] Yes, the transom will need a lot of work. As for the paint, I think I prefer the bare aluminum look, maybe with a stripe or other accent, but not completely painted. That seems to be what the majority of owners of Aroliners that I've seen have done as well. Could be talked into repainting if there is a benefit in terms of longevity, lake of corrosion etc. It will only be in fresh water lakes. As stated, I'm a newbie to boating and refinishing, so I'm looking to determine the right order to do the work in. I'm thinking: - dent work - interior cleaning/scraping - rivets - repair and seal - exterior - paint stripping, aluminum finishing (sealant/buffing ?) - Transom - repair/replacement (will probably use a professional for this. Debating Seacast or similar vs. marine plywood) - Seating - new aluminum structure/layout for seats. - Floatation - 2 part foam - Flooring - Electrical - required lighting etc. - Steering system/controls - motor Any comments are appreciated.
