[QUOTE="Lost, post: 435453, member: 22427"] Next steps are to scrub out the rest of the boat, check for leaks, seal with gluvit since the floor is out, rivet in some additional aluminum framing to increase floor support (I'm a big guy and wanted some extra support for the 1/2" floor), get marine plywood and start cutting new pieces for the floor/sides/transom, seal the pieces, get carpeting on the pieces, and re-install everything. Turning out to be a lot more effort than I initially had thought it would be, but at least I will know the boat inside-and-out and it should last another 30+ years. I'll also be running new wires for the lights and adding a fuse block and switch panel for any accessories that I want to add. [/QUOTE]
