[QUOTE="Brine, post: 151078, member: 1053"] Headed over to Bassboy Enterprises today. (Ok, it's not a real company name, but after seeing the setup at his place, it felt like a good name). I brought the boat over to have bassboy put his eyes on it and to get some guidance on some finishing details. Naturally, I couldn't leave without letting bassboy show off some of his skills on the boat, so after a brief meet and greet, I turned him loose as he proceeded to give me a few TIG lessons. First thing I wanted fixed were a series of 3/16 holes in the gunwale that previously had rivets holding the side console, and (I think) the old trolling motor bracket. I had originally used aluminum epoxy in the holes, and even without using the boat, it had failed and the epoxy in many of the holes had simply "collapsed" into the gunwale. Next, the transom had a crack at the top which was simply making an easy place for water to infiltrate the plywood, and again...I had unsuccessfully used aluminum epoxy to fill the area, and after a few whacks with the ball peen hammer, he fused the crack back together.
