[QUOTE="Charlie B, post: 473431, member: 25592"] Thanks folks. All good info. I appreciate the replies. The internet and forums like this have made home projects way more successful. I ended up sanding down all the old paint using a copper brush then nylon brush then sand paper to clean off all the old paint. I primed with an aluminum primer and finished with the Duranautic spray paint from Marathon Boat. I then did use HDPE because I had already ordered it before you had made the suggestion about not using it. But its really jammed in there and not such a large piece. Its also 1.25" thick so not so flexible. Its also a 9.9 hp motor so not so much power. I haven't actually put the boat in the water but im confident it will be solid. The pin hole I filled with 5200. I did not use a rivet which I hope I won't regret. It is pretty easy to access it I want to do it later. Here is a few photos. I used 5200 for all the bolt holes, I just left the 5200 white glue that seeped out on the bolts below the water line for additional piece of mind. [/QUOTE]
