Went and bought some marine epoxy, 5200, and some flex seal. Gotta go wire wheel all the rivets on the inside and clean it up then apply generously lol. This is gonna take a minute seeing how theres a million rivets and i want to be sure.

Yeah I think my plan is going to be to Use almost all of them. I'll probably go on the inside with the 5200 in all the cracks, crevices, seams, etc and then go over that once its cured with a couple shots of FlexSeal. And then on the outside I'll go over the rivets and seams with GLUVIT. I dont...

Well backed the boat out to the pond behind the garage and tossed in the sump pump. Filled up pretty quickly and even sucked up a crawfish lol. As I anticipated it leaked around where the welds were made. Im guessing due to the heat warping the surrounding areas and melting the sealant the...

Got the boat up to my uncles shop and he welded up the spots that needed it quick. Now I can Leak Test it and then address those issues.

Another Question What lines/adapters/fittings will i need to connect my fuel pressure tank to my outboard? I have no clue what to look for. The motor is a Johnson 5.5 Seahorse. Im guessing from the 60'S era. If someone could find a picture or Ebay post to show me exactly it is that I need.

I think i should be ok as long as i stay behind the V portion. And that doesnt start until about 2ft from the front of the boat. Other then that its flat the rest of the way back. I plan on having a compartment forward on the boat so i'll be back a little bit soooo i think i'll be ok. As long as...

QUICK QUESTION Are these style of boats stable up front when a flat deck is installed? Or are they kind of tippy side to side becuase the front is a V instead of a flat bottom? I dont know squat about these boats.

well I got the tank exchanged and got ready to weld it up, Its aluminum...how hard could it be? Well apparently its a son of a ***** because thats all that came out of my mouth for an hour or two. I gave up on that and called my uncle up. He welds for a living and said he'll do it up for me

Well I had a wild hair up my butt and an engineering plan in mind so i went and ripped out the bench seats anyways. There wasnt nothing to them and they came out surprisingly easy.

I was reading in the other guys post and he used it. Apparently it works great. They sell this water resistant spray on coating at my local Lowes that i was looking at. Its in aresol form and only costs $10 a can. Thing is i dont know how far 1 can will go. And the gluvit is $50 for a 2lb can...

So your suggesting that i just build around the existing benches then. Ill have to repair them as well then. Some of the edges of the benches the aluminum has actually torn, from what...i don't know. They are made of pretty thin aluminum (1/16) as it is and only have styrofoam packed under them...

My grandparents were in need of money and I was getting back into fishing a lot lately and fishing the local canal was becoming a drag (pun intended). So long story short I bought my grandfathers 14' Aluminum Sea Nymph. He also threw in a 5.5hp Johnson Seahorse. It didnt have a trailer so I had...
