Ive been out prepping for JB. Found a crack that I did not know about. JB will fix it up pretty good though.



I happened to come accross the plate that was by the right transom cap. Can someone point me in the direction where I could look these number/letters to find out what make it is.

I saw you were thinking about what to do about a livewell. I stumbled upon this one day at walmart and I was wondering if this would interest you. I do not own one nor have I ever seen one being used in person, but it seems to be able to play many roles: fill/empty & aerate live well, wash down boat, bilge pump. I have considered buying it many times but haven't just because I do not really need a live well, however the wash down & bilge would be nice.

Thanks! I may have to look into it.

Ok well ive changed my mind again. Just like I know i will do many more times. Ive decided that I am not going to spend all of the time and money to do the livewell cause Im gonna sell the boat not to long after I am done with it. Ive decided that I want a 16ft allweld. 8) So im going to just go back to the original plan and fill it with foam.

I'm gonna be going to lowes today to get some paint. Can you use galvanized hardware?

 

[theyyounggun]

Ive been out wirewheeling all of the flakey spots off/scuffing it up some. Heres what I picked up at Lowes. I went ahead and primed and painted the bow eye. The paint matches pretty good!

Ive had the can pistol grip for awhile. It is DEFINATLY worth the money.

 

[theyyounggun]

Got some JB weld done...

 

[theyyounggun]

Can you use galvanized hardware on a tinny?

 

[inlovewithsurfin]

[theyyounggun]

Thanks. I hope my work turns out half as good as yours

 

[mallenmanson]

Thats exactly what I used on my boat. Make sure you wear a good respirator when using that self etching primer. I didnt #-o

Definitely go with the high density styrofoam. If water gets in the boat the pink stuff will absorb the water and become waterlogged. Even though the HD can get water logged if left under water. example leaving plug in while boat is sitting outside in a rain storm. The HD will release water and dry out faster.
If you remember back in the day, most floating boat houses, duck blinds had the HD foam under them. Even the some metal pontoons where filled with the HD foam.

Carpet: I agree, Lowes and Home Depot has a great selection of outdoor carpet. I prefer the Gray color due to the fact that when it fades it still looks good vs a dark color like blue or reds.

Just my thoughts

Conrmeal is right about the home depot selection on carpet. I just ordered mine from there.
