I posted a pic of this monster in another topic on this forum. While I didn't actually build anything on this rig, I thought I would show you what was done to literally save this boat from the scrap yard. The owners told me they picked up this boat fairly cheap, after they ripped up the floor they found that the builder did not coat the bottom with any protection at all and after years of service the bottom was oxidized and pitted bad, there were a few places that wore all the way through. They wanted to know if I could weld up the pits on this floor, I really had my doubts, but thought I would give it a try. Lucky for them the bottom was thick enough to take some heat and weld up. It took a while but we managed to patch it up and save it, check these pics out.
