We have owned a Duracraft 17’ boat for 20 years or so. It has a Mercury 70 on it and was built in 1979 or so. We redid the inside about 18 years ago and I just started today taking the decks and carpet out. I plan to fill holes that show and repaint and then redo the decks and carpet. One thing I don’t care for is the livewell is part of the console and it’s low and uncomfortable. So I plan to put a new livewell in the front deck and put a new side console in it.
So for a few questions-
What’s the best way to fill the old holes from screws and where old transducer was mounted?
What should I use for decking on floor and decks? I may use marine vinyl instead of carpet.
I’ll want to do new hatches etc. Will probably have more questions.
Paint- strip old paint off the outside, self etching primer and then paint with a couple finish coats?
