[QUOTE="JohnnyBoy99, post: 140468, member: 3290"] Rat - thanks for the advice. Yeah, I was planning on doing something on the sides to give it some more suppport. I was also gonna use the front deck to support the sides. About the Breasthook will it take away from the structure from the boat if i did take it off and built something new? or when if i was to build something new should i just attach to to where the Breasthook is. The furthest external part off the transom is a rubber piece that is on the very outside. I imagine this is how all are. Are you saying to drill into that? Thanks Jim, Thats exactly how it was last summer. At first i was dying for a bigger, faster boat. But then became desperate for anything. Me and my friends call the boat Henry and we have alot of fun with it. Once school is out. I will really get to work with them fixing it up. Probably doing the major stuff done then doing the little details along the way. My plans are to get it sandblasted at a place near my house. Then once i get it back to paint the boat all the way around. Except for very bottom which will be covered by a false floor. Then move on to building front deck, false floor, livewell?, storage, rod holder, etc. When i get it back from sandblasting i will show some pictures then. Should i be using self-etching primer? or what is the best kind. and what is the best kind of paint? We have a large air compressor, and i plan on getting a paint sprayer to do the job, in order to give a good paint job. Also what do you think a good color scheme would be? I got the blue chairs already and would like to go with something blueish. [/QUOTE]
