[QUOTE="BlakeRauch, post: 373919, member: 13613"] Here we go again. Today I picked up a (insert very old date here) Ouachita 15' by 42" Jon boat. I got the boat and trailer for $500 and believe me... it's a $500 boat. haha. It has no title, no serial number, and no leaks... except one.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6270.jpg"]70752._xfImport[/ATTACH] That is the bottom of the transom. I was hoping one of you would know the best way to go about patching that up. I haven't been able to find much about welding aluminum it seems like this would be a good spot to weld as it's not a rivet. Any thoughts are appreciated. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6264.jpg"]70758._xfImport[/ATTACH] This wheel is on backwards. I'm guessing it doesn't fit the other way because the rim is different from the other side... but we will see. I might need recommendations on where to get 4 lug wheels for a trailer like this. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6262.jpg"]70756._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6261.jpg"]70755._xfImport[/ATTACH] The bow has this gash not sure what to do about this either. Here are some more pictures: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6260.jpg"]70754._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6263.jpg"]70757._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6265.jpg"]70759._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6266.jpg"]70760._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6267.jpg"]70761._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is my thought process: 1. Strip the paint/old epoxy 2. fix the leak 3. Get registered and tagged (I have a lady that takes care of me on this) 4. SteelFlex the bottom and maybe halfway up the sides 5. Paint green or camo 6. Frame up the casting decks (one from the middle bench to the bow and one on the back bench seat) 7. Find a 25hp outboard 8. Hopefully add a foot controlled trolling motor 9. GO FISH [/QUOTE]
