This is my first post. I know nothing about owning a boat other than what I have read thus far on this forum.
I do not have a boat as of yet but hope to by summer if not sooner.
I was reading a number of threads where boat owners purchased a boat and then have stripped the boat down to the bone and sealed, carpeted and added new decking. whether it be plywood or aluminum, etc.
When you first buy a USED tin boat. Let's say you take it out and find that there are no leaks and all is well. Would you still strip it and make like new?
I really don;t want to add any extra expense nor do I wanna make more work for myself if not needed.
#1 question....How do you know when you need to strip down and redo?
