[QUOTE="bassmaster9488, post: 115465, member: 2318"] I am chrisbuck43's roomate which will be helping with the project. We have some ideas, but we mainly need advice. I got a couple questions for you guys. 1. Can you weld aluminum? Is it similar to welding other materials? 2. Is it bad to drill holes into the boat? If we are drilling new holes, what should we fill the old ones with? 3. When painting the boat should we sand it all the way to the bare aluminum or just ruff it up enough to get paint on it? Is a primer coat needed? I know I just asked quite a few questions, but if you can offer any assistance please feel free to let us know. We greatly appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
