Picked up this 14' Fisher last weekend and plan to do a rebuild. This forum has been a great resource for me.

I am working on this with my 13 yo son. We plan to build a new front deck and rear deck, add a TM in front and on the rear. We typically fish private lakes with restrictions on outboards.

Here is what we are working with.

Demo day

Started with taking off the flooring and foam. Still need to remove the transom and the rest of the front deck witch has turned into quite the chore.

Once we have everything off, I plan to use an aluminum cleaner (Star Brite) to clean her up and then start repairing hole where we took out some rivets. My plan is to braze or rivet most of them. The hull appears to be in ok shape. I have noticed some sort of epoxy or glue on a few rivets on the bottom of the boat that will need to some attention.

My pics come out rotated. I'll try to get some up of our 1st day of demo.
 


Got the boat stripped out. Need to patch holes. Thinking about brazing and JB Weld Marine. I plan to gluvit the rivets and seams on the inside. Then will look at priming and painting.

Hull appears good overall. I do have a lot of pitting on the transom with several small pin holes. Any thoughts on how to handle? I’m going to be rebuilding the transom so the pin holes will be covered with sealed plywood inside and out. Thought I might brush some gluvit on it.
