How's it going guys I've been reading and following your guys post and rebuilds for a few years now. It was about 5 years ago I planned on restoring a 1966 mfg. runabout but never had the chance or funds to get around to doing it so it sat in my yard and rotted away.
A few weeks ago I found a post on Clist for this Glasstream bass boat with a 1980 75Hp Johnson the guy I bought it from said the the control cable was seized and the other the starter solenoid was bad. So I opened her up and found the control lever assembly was made out of plastic and there teeth were all cracked off and safety neutral switch wire was spliced with electrical tape. I found the part on eBay and am waiting on it . I started stripping all the nick knacks off to get it sanded and prepped for paint. I plan on cutting out a hatch on the bow where the pedestal is I found a soft spot that has started. What do you guys think of the stability of me moving the pedestal forward a couple off feet?
I plan on painting the boat with something cheap as I don't plan on keeping this one for a long time
what paints have you guys used that wont break the budget but is durable for a few years. I have read a few post but none with specifics.
I also need to find carpet.
