Yeah that is a sweet deal! Looking forward to your progress. It's a nice rig.

Looks good! What are your plans? I used Gluvit on my boat and it worked great. You don't want to use treated because it will interact badly with the aluminum over time. Just buy some wood sealer or you can fiberglass it.

Lots of ideas here! Can you post a picture of your boat?

Looks good! Keep it going! If it feels solid when you walk on it, it should be ok. If not you can add some wood to brace it.

more pics.

Hey so it's been awhile and I wanted to post pictures of the updated rig! The newest addition is on the sides. They are called Sponsons. Two 9 foot pieces of ethafoam on the sides. They have made a huge difference! Worth every penny! The boat is more stable, I don't get splashed by waves, and my...

Nice job looks good. Are you going to paint the inside of the boat too?

nice work it looks awesome!

wow very nice so far. keep it up!

Before I put the self etching primer on I wiped the entire boat down with acetone to get it clean. I think that's really important. Probably put 2 or 3 coats of self etching primer on. Then just used black spray paint and then I put a a few coats of clear coat over it. The paint job still looks...

Here is a link to my first attempt at modding this boat https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17225 I wanted to redo it because it didnt turn out how I had hoped. First things first is I started from scratch, stripped it and wired wheeled the entire boat. On my previous build I used...

nice paint job. I think I will paint mine like that to match my black explorer.

it's steel but they have ones that are painted too. i just used the plain ones. I havent had any problems with mine. i dont think you would either!! I've been working on my boat this winter and have left pieces of them in the snow and they dont rust or anything! they are a great alternative to...

Save yourself the money and go to the shelving section of the store. You'll find what you need there. That's what I used. They have these 6' pieces that work great. https://images.lowes.com/product/converted/075381/075381935869xl.jpg and they are only like 6 bucks!!!! here is another picture...
