[QUOTE="sonny1, post: 501554, member: 32555"] Got the bottom wire brushed down to bare metal. Before we turned her right side up decided to go after the dent back aft and it did not work out well. Aluminum was buckled really bad so I decided to heat it up with some mapp gas. It melted away the second the torch hit it. Now I know why it was buckled. Turned the boat right side up and sure enough I now know where the battery was.[ATTACH]115810[/ATTACH] Layer of black like tar stuff laid down in section aft of last seat to transit. Plan on removing all of that. The rest of the area seems to be OK. Have a lot of wire brushing all the goop on the seams and rivets.[ATTACH]115813[/ATTACH] After I get it all cleaned up then the fun begins. [/QUOTE]
