Thanks fellas I kind of thought the same thing about people simply gluing there caps back on, I was not planning on going that route at all as I will be thru bolting my new one back on the proper way but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that everyone else was doing...

So when I gutted my transom the old cap got destroyed so I followed the post on here where a guy was redoing a tracker and he used 2 piece of angle to fabricate a new cap. My new transom is completely sealed in epoxy resin and it will be getting a coat of paint as well since it is exposed to the...

Ok so on my 1978 Hustler pro I am getting ready to finish up my electrical add-ons for the new lowrance units I'm putting in. Electrical is definitely not my strong skill, I have no problems wiring things up that's easy for me to get right, I just want to make sure I am building a network that...

Appreciate the reply I’ll give that a look.

This is what the whole inside of my 1978 Lowe hustler pro is covered with I have no clue what it is so i was hoping maybe someone on here could identify it for me. I’m going to do an customs bass deck on it this winter and i am on the fence if I’m going to bother painting the inside of the hull...

Also i followed the recommendations i found through various forums on the acid etch and all bare metal just got a light “dusting” of it i didn’t slather it on. Primer coat i just trying to get it all covered didn’t lay down an excessive amount and i didn’t have any runs on it

Yes i am rolling and tipping the paint, i followed the directions given on another forum for the rustoleum mixture using reducer and hardener and the coats of paint are pretty thin to help with drying, maybe that first coat was just to thin i let the boat sit for 2 days before sanding it but it...

Rolled my second coat of rustoleum topside on my Lowe Hustler and following the directions on the can i sanded before the second coat. Can said 220 i went with 320 and tired to keep it light, on the flat surfaces of the boat it was fine it just dulled the surface which I’m assuming is all your...

Got my primer all laid and smooth sanded it all down last week, went to roll my first coat last night and I’m a little disappointed with how dark my mixture of rustoleum topside battle ship grey and black turned out, does anyone know if you can mix regular rustoleum with top side to tint the...

Anyone got a quick reference to the hardener mixture ratio?

Thank you for the quick responses i really didn’t want to go though the process of stripping it all the way down if i didn’t have to mostly because i didn’t want to add the extra time to the process, but all in all i want this paint to last as long as possible.

Been lurking around here since last year when i bought my first boat. Last summer I decided i had officially outgrown my canoe that was fully outfitted for fishing and sold it help finance a new project Boat. So the search started and after a month of looking i found myself a 1979 Lowe Hustler...
