[QUOTE="ken.douglas.7330, post: 434171, member: 22366"] Hey guys im gonna ramble on some long post... but i starting a project to fix my grandfathers old 1436 / 1968 eldocraft jon boat. i have used it for the last 20 years as a duck hunting boat its been thru a lot but ill never get rid of it (means more than anything to me) the aluminum transom and floor is beyond repair the metal is just too thin from a battery fire years ago to weld back. a good welder freind tried his best to fix it and its been patched badly with a aluminum plate welded to the under side of boat and it has a float pod across the back i have to cut off me and kids used it for years but they have moved on to the navy and i want to restore it for a small outboard for some quiet time with the wife. i guess what im asking is has anyone pretty much cut the backend off and redone it from scratch? I know its gonna be expensive but im not sure where to start. Here are a few pics .[img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170506/23033d3fdd196e787916e0aed7e95722.jpg[/img] [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170506/204d4bec85674d9d996783b2c5b36d4d.jpg[/img] [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170506/4413120a203cbd393858abed520b91de.jpg[/img] Pod is welded on have to cut it off Painted area needs to be cut out and replaced along with part of transom Dam battery caught fire and burned through the boat Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
