So ... I am cleaning up my boat and have a few questions for answers I have not been able to find in my search here:
1. The front seating section has some paint/coating chipping off. Can I fill this in with epoxy, sand then repaint or will I need to do something else to repair these places? They are not very big - several quarter sized places, but I want to fix them before they get bigger.
2. All of the padding attached to the front deck and back have rotted off leaving these strange screws which held the pads in place. I want to replace/make new pads/cushions but what is the best way to reattach them? The screws have to be removed because they are rusted so what would y'all suggest? I was thinking I would replace with snaps, but not sure if this would work well. Any suggestions here would be great.
3. I am not happy with the seats - built on two boxes with short poles and chairs. The seats are too far back and there are no seats for my kids. If I was to rip the seats/boxes out would it be a lot of trouble to make new boxes and put newer chairs in? I am not planning on replacing the floor in the boat until winter so I do not want to do a whole lot until then.
I can post pictures of the items above if that is helpful.
