[QUOTE="richg99, post: 452670, member: 4376"] Well, you certainly seem to know a lot about painting. She looks good already. You mentioned putting 3M5200 (my favorite adhesive) on the rivets...and...then painting over it. I may be mistaken, but I don't think that 3M5200 takes paint very well. You might read the manufacturer's specs before planning on that job. Adding a deck to a small boat can, sometimes, make her unstable. If it is just your dogs that will be lying on the deck, then you should be fine. If your wife will be using the deck, too, then you may want to do some testing before going whole-hog into the decking project. Perhaps you could temporarily affix a sheet of wood and then let her move around on it some. See what the boat does with the higher center of gravity. There are lots of guys on here that have done more extensive re-do projects than I, and they will probably post in soon. Welcome aboard. rich [/QUOTE]
