OK guys I'm new to this site as I just purchased my first boat. Man I am impressed with the comradery on this site you guys rock so quick to help and share ideas... Anyways here's the scoop I bought this boat the PO painted the outside with a shaker can and the inside with a brush.he used flex seal on all the seams... The trailer is newer.with an ez load tiltand new tires. The seats are swivel and are one season old. new 6 gal gas tank,primerbulb and gas lines.. The motor is a 1969 9 1/2hp evinrude 2stroke. Old minn kota trolling motor 28lb thrust.new deep cycle marine battery kept on a trickle charge. 3 life vests, ankor and paddles... All for $1600
I get the boat home and noticed when the PO painted it he replace the outside transom with regular plywood not sealed.. It was warped and splitting... I removed the outside transom board and also the inside as it was chipping away...I used x2 3/4 ply gorrila glued, scared and clamped.. I'm going to apply the fiberglass resin today and paint the inside if the boat.it was pink and white for his daughter. I was able to remove the stars with acetone.I think I'll leave it blue... I painted the trolling motor and plan to paint the ob cowl ... But my question is how and the hell do I take off these **** seats hahahah. Looks like if you turn it 90° you can access the 1/2 bolt that is going into the bench.... Is there a better way to do this or am i forced to scrape my knuckles removing the seat and mount or can I remove the seat then the swivel or does it all come off together... Thanks guys here are some pics
