[QUOTE="medicineman, post: 486981, member: 31538"] I have an interesting 14' Alumacraft that I believe is an early '80s model. It had the teleflex steering wheel which I originally ran on a '70s Mercury. I have since removed that and run only a 55lb thrust Minnkota. I am a bass and pan fisherman in Minnesota and want to build out a carpeted bow casting deck w/ cooler as seat. I would like to clean up the boat generally, seal it, and paint it. I will post photos of the boat currently as I am seeking thoughts on simply using 3/4 inch plywood (and treating it) versus supporting it in some way and cutting a hatch(es) in to utilize the space between the bow and middle bench. I also need guidance on painting/priming. Can anyone recommend a sealant and paint? So far looking at Gluvit to start. I would like to paint the boat a dark purple and so far - can't find any color close! -MedicineMan [/QUOTE]
