Hey all,
Just found this site and love all the stuff I'm seeing on it! Picked up a couple months ago a 1960 Valco 13' with trailer. Love this boat already.
This is when I first brought it home: Came with pretty much everything you see on it. Got all that, with trailer for $575. Came with fishfinder, seats, battery, battery holder, minn kota troller, anchor, pole holders, cup holders, ratchet straps, and trailer. Will be replacing the old minn kota 30# with a new model 45#.
The inside was pretty bad paint wise. Most was wore off on the floors. This is what it looked like:
Decided to sand out the inside loose paint, rivets and seams and seal it all up with Gluvit. After that, I hit it with ZC primer and then a metal primer. Here she is after 2 coats of Rustoleum marine top coat with the anti slip additive added into it.
I am just now putting the stuff back into the boat as this paint takes forever to cure. Wanted to make sure I didnt gouge anything putting stuff back in.
