[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 117947, member: 2148"] Been busy the last couple days. Yesterday I got the transom installed then hit the inside and outside of the boat with a wire wheel. Done grinding.....thank god. I think I have about 10-12 hours grinding the boat and trailer with a wire wheel. I forgot pics of the transom, but I'll get some once I get the boat flipped back over. I decided to go with Stainless Bolts over the Rivets. Seemes to work well. Just it them with 5200 when I installed them. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Sand.jpg"]10028._xfImport[/ATTACH] Today I was able to get a spray coat of etching primer on the upper half of the boat where I plan to paint. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Etch.jpg"]10029._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I primed the trailer. Used Rustoleum Clean Metal.....and I hate it. If I had to do it over it would be all spray cans.. Hopefully the paint goes on better than the primer did. [ATTACH type="full" alt="trailer.jpg"]10030._xfImport[/ATTACH] After that I decided to get the Steelflex on the bottom half of the boat.
