[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 467851, member: 24593"] I'm getting a 10 ft johnboat free. I want to make it into a hand launchable lil boat for secluded water. I want to mount wheels on the back so I can wheel it down to the water using kayak launch sites. Don't care for canoes or kayaks so the little john sounds about right. It's going to be a one person row boat kind of thing. I was thinking of using aluminum angle iron bolted to the back, hanging down far enough for the wheels to clear. It has some holes that need to be patched and I was thinking of using aluminum flashing material to cover them. Question; Should I rivet the patch on or use epoxy? I've used the West Marine epoxy before and had good results but a lot of guys claim 3M 5200 is the way to go. Anybody, have advice on this? I'm going to put either pool noodles or foam pipe insulation over the gunnels for a little extra safety. The seats have the factory flotation in them. I weigh 175 lbs. so I should be ok weight wise. Any help would be appreciated [/QUOTE]
