[QUOTE="Jake11, post: 390258, member: 14133"] Yep I was trying to trade up with the boat and old evinrude I have for a flat bottom that's a bit wider (i really miss my old flat bottom)but not much interest so I'm just going to make it what I want it until I can afford to just buy a new one. I need to pull that ad haha. I am definitely going to pull it. With the plan I have for adding strength back to it I think it will be sturdier than before I started. I just wish the hull were a little thicker aluminum. I think I'm going to have to go with rivets because of this instead of welding it to the hull. The structure itself will still be welded though so that's a plus. Not much progress on the boat this weekend thanks to the lovely weather Ohio provided me with but I did make some headway on the trailer. I took those ugly old side boards off and all the heavy galvanized tube and hardware that was holding it on(she lost about 70lbs just from that) and got rid of the 70s shag carpet covered bunks the po had installed and made some new ones for it. Also got it cleaned up and almost ready for paint. It looks a ton better now. A lot cleaner and I'm pleasantly surprised by the over all condition of the trailer. I think I'm going to order all the aluminum tubing for this from metalsdepot.com even with delivery its quite a bit cheaper than I can find it locally. Will update again when I get some time off to work on it. 8) [/QUOTE]
