[QUOTE="stoney1964, post: 135372, member: 3043"] Hey friends! I had some health issues since Feb 05 and have been desiring to get my boat back on the water again. It was sad to look at it today and see 05 on the license sticker. I got my son out there this afternoon and we managed to remove the benches, wash the inside, turn it over and sand the bottom with 400 wet/dry sand paper. So, this is where some friends advice can be very appreciated. What's my next step? Would you advise more sanding or am I ready for primer. I dont really know what to use on it either. I plan on rolling it or I should say having my son roll it. Ha! He is the 14 year old with the strong back. The outside was oxidized and was blue looking but the more you sand the greener the tint come out. I am planning on putting indoor outdoor carpet inside on top of plywood because I have trouble walking on uneven surfaces. It will have 3 individual seats down the middle with a storage tray about a foot wide on both sides. I dont want any high platforms. I want all 3 seats on the same level, so I have to figure out a lot to say the least. I realize I am behind the curve but at least its getting some attention. I will be keeping it covered also. I am open for any comments. I am in southern Indiana if I have any experts in my area. :) [/QUOTE]
