Im trying to learn. Im planning to wire wheel the outside seam with a brass wheel clean it up, just in the gap am I planning on putting the 52 in. will use painters tape to keep it from going anywhere but in the gaps. thinking of using a vacuum cleaner on the inside to suck it into the gaps? then clean out the inside and put a bead in there also? or is it only to be put in the inside so the outside can be gluv-ited without the silicon creating problems?? I have no need for the weight of a full coating of gluv-it for these won't be going across anything but water, the 5200 on the out side it will be easier to just pull it out every couple yrs and squirt it in again. best not easiest fix is what I'm interested in doing though.
Please educate an oldfart by tossing out reasons to do it this way or that way please, it helps seeing all sides and the many different possible fixes...
With my 69 Johnson suitcase 4hp on it I get a blistering 5mph if the wind does't stop me.. It's a hair raising experience. lol 51" wide, it is plenty stable.
Anyway it doesn't need to be bullet proof, I start fishing leaving the dock an pull my lines in when I get back to the dock. no beatings or abuse allowed.
thanks for any help you can spare
