Re: New to the boating world/ restoration questions
Hello everyone, It's been quite awhile since my last post. Ive been crazy busy but I have made some progress on the SS. (i'll have pics shortly) Just coated all seams and rivets with gluvit and re riveted my stringers back to the ribs, now rock solid! One thing I am having a whole lot of trouble with is getting the transom out. My transom was a three piece but the main piece won't seem to budge. anyone have any ideas as to help me along with this? Also the hull is bare aluminum up to about a third of the way up on the hull and the rest is white. Im thinking of using sharkhide on the bare aluminum to polish it up as I've read some posts saying that painting the bottom has left some with not so stellar results. I will paint the top two thirds a two tone Royal Blue and a Light gray to match my seats. Again pictures to come shortly. Hope everyone is doing well and thank you all for the wealth of knowledge you have provided. It has given me continued hope and excitement for whats to come.
