[QUOTE="NauticalNick, post: 405717, member: 20571"] When I bought the boat I failed to notice (3) clusters of bolts in the walls of the boat. Its appears a PO attached something heavy and decided to leave the bolts in to seal the holes. The bolts are very old and very corroded. We tried everything from soaking the bolts in WD-40 to heating them with a propane torch. We got 2 clusters of a total of 6 bolts off by torch. Unfortunately the last cluster was unable to be removed so we ripped the entire area out and plan to braze it back to new with alumiweld. Today's Accomplishments: Removed About 35 Screws That Past PO's Had Left. Removed Half Of The Middle Seat And Gunwhales. Sanded ~70% Of The Inside. As For The Hole... I Am Going To Attempt To Fill It Using Alumiweld, Which I Have Never Used Before. So This Thread Should Also Serve As A Testament As To Whether Alumiweld Works.
