Re: 18' aluminum 66 cherokee w/ 110 johnson... first project boat
more work on boat today. Tore the dash out, took off windshield., fill it full of water to check for leaks... definetly a quite few leaks, everytime i told the ole guy i bought it off i was gonna check for leaks he said "that boat dont leak" I knew better... said same for motor i cant wait to jump into that..
i been stopping in every marina boat shop i pass and picking their brains, or trying to, on sealers, paints and deck layouts... I am not having luck with any of it, and i know i am over thinking everything.... I am gonna read up more on gluvit more tonight and go ahead and order it... i will need to cover all seams and rivets. I am gonna need to find out how much and where to get it.. So far I just looked on ebay...and what all can i use 3m 5200 on?
I'm hoping to get a nice size aluminum highway sign for deck from a friend, and have alot of polycarbonate sheets for sides boxes and other stuff.
I picked up a dozen self etching primer cans, and was gonna try Majic camoflage flat paint on outside since its cheap and just hoping to make a good catfishing boat, that the family can also enjoy.
I looked into diy bedliner products for the inside, but dont like what Im finding so now starting to look at carpeting. Trying to do this on a budget definetly isnt going as fast as I wanted, but i will get it done. any help or idears would be appreciated..
