[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 490551, member: 7021"] Congrats on new boat! Lots of fun ahead! Valcos are very durable boats and there are many here on the West Coast. As already suggested, I agree on using epoxy covered plywood over the wood shown in your pics for the reasons already mentioned. I would also agree on using the dimple and epoxy method for filling holes. I think with this method you will not need to add a sheet of alum to cover holes, unless there are really bad corroded areas from electrolysis. There are many sharp minds around here with some really great ideas. Have fun and share pics! [/QUOTE]
