[QUOTE="john.0, post: 394586, member: 19922"] My intent is not to do a full restoration of this boat and pass it down the family for generations to come.It's an old boat that would be used on local creeks for a couple of years and likely never see anything other than a 40 pound thrust trolling motor. I have a 12 foot jon aswell (which I bought the trailer for)but cannot take my wife and child on it with me.I don't see that spending something around $100 to seal up the bottom and make it look nice to get out on the water with my wife and kid is such a horrible idea.The boat is not crumbling apart,it has a couple of small leaks but in no way is dangerous or going to spontaneously fall apart or dissolve while on the water. Around here a boat this size with a title would be $400-$500,that also is not possible for me at this time. Anyways I got at it with a stainless cup brush on a grinder this evening and it seemed to get in there and clean things out pretty good. I do appreciate the advice,just maybe don't agree with all if it. [/QUOTE]
