[QUOTE="Rick James, post: 142864, member: 3092"] Well, I sold my canoe setup this weekend to free up some $$$ for this project. Now I've got a fire under my butt, no more fishing until I can get this thing on the water. :mrgreen: Did the leak test on Monday. Filled it to the top of all rivets on the boat. No issues and I'm thrilled to see this. I've got a list of things I'll be working on this weekend. I'll be tearing out the transom for sure. Also the boat has some dents in the gunwhales from where someone overtightened some ratchet straps when mounting on their vehicle. I'm planning to fill these in with JB Weld like evattman did with his 14' "Lund". I also just found an absolute steal on Skid No More. I just got two gallons shipped to my house for $50 - with 2 day shipping included. Found this on Amazon. After the JB Weld cures, I'll be applying the Skid No More to the entire interior, and up and over the edge of the gunwhales. After the Skid No More is dry and cured, I'll get to putting the new transom wood in place and getting that all sealed up with stainless hardware and 5200. If time permits, I'll also be tearing the factory dust covers off the hubs and installing new bearing buddies. I ordered the 2047 size with bras. I'll completely clean the hubs, and bearings, and repack everything with new grease before putting these on. I'll also be trying to get new trailer bunks on this. I want a longer full length bunk on both sides, I really hate the factory pivoting bunks on this thing, the only thing supporting the front 8' or so of the boat is the roller above the eye on the front of the bow. This will hopefully be a bit more secure when I get the new bunks on. I'll post some updates when I'm done with these projects this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out for me so I can work outside. [-o< [/QUOTE]
