[QUOTE="tonynoriega, post: 284293, member: 9694"] Well here is my plan from a 5000ft view... Just finished wire brushing the entire outside...have about 15 rivets to replace, with some closed end blind rivets and some 3M 5200... got 40ish... rivet holes to MarineTex Epoxy putty fix up front from someone riveting the ID tags... From there...gonna GluvIt the entire inside seams front to back...then self etching primer all the inside, then a base coat of marine primer...paint.... Replacing the transom wood. I originally took out the middle bench. But after some consideration will put it back in. Plan on putting a "floor" from the rear bench, to the middle bench... then from the middle bench to front bench... so essentially two floors. Then a casting deck, or as I call it a "carp deck" to run flush with the top of the two front seats. This will also have some sort of hatch to store stuff, or a battery for the trolling motor... Similar to the photo you posted above, just imagine the middle bench still in tact... Time...money...and kids... all my factors involved in how long this "dream" will take... But that is the fun part to me is the detailed work that will ensure it lasts a long time... Cheers. :D [/QUOTE]
