[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 279037, member: 9169"] So next up is to get this **** transom finished and installed!!! Then I'll be removing the middle bench and probably doing some painting. The original paint isn't in horrible shape, but is obviously aged and beat up in the common places (outside hull, rail, etc.), so I figured while I'm at it I might as well give her a brand new paint job. Since I'll have to be sanding and priming these problem areas should I go ahead and just strip the entire boat and start from scratch? Not trying to make it perfect, but do want it to last. As far as paint goes, I'll be going with RustOleum high performance protective enamel. I'm thinking of doing the outside hull halfway up the sides in hunter green and the rest of the outside hull and interior in smoke gray. Let me know what you guys think. https://rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=130 After removing the middle bench, which houses a small livewell, I'll need to plug the livewell drain which comes out the side of the hull right at the junction of the bottom and side. Whats the best way to do this? I'm assumming have it welded over with a small piece of aluminum sheet. [/QUOTE]
