[QUOTE="SaltyDog, post: 309144, member: 11168"] Hey Boys...I am new to the site. Been checking out all the awesome boats and projects. I just picked up this Lowe mod v. I plan to fish her this season as is. Future mods would be re do the carpet and replace the wood decking. P.O. has aluminum decking under the carpeted wood decks. I see he didnt want to remove old carpet from aluminum decks so he just threw some new wood decks on top. So i plan to do the work he didnt want to do. I will also add a new stereo, maybe paint her. But I definitely want to get her out now and get some blood on the decks. So the question I have is: In the pics you can see there is pitting in the aluminum on the transom in several spots. Looks like water got into the wood of the transom and just soaked up and caused the pitting? I know I can use some JB weld and patch up the holes. But is there a method you guys know about stopping the corrosion before I patch up with the JB? I would appreciate any comments or suggestions? I will def post pics of the repair job any future mods. Thanks in advance and fish on boys! [/QUOTE]
