Re: 1957 Cadillac Aluminum Boat
Hi eim. Welcome to iboats. Helluva score you found at the scrapyard! Who in the world would do that to such as a sweet boat? Glad you saved her. Only a few rules for tinnies. No Pressure Treated wood. Instead, use non-PT and seal it. Mount all wood with Stainless Steel hardware dipped in a bit if 3M 5200 and/or aluminum pop-rivets. Prime with Zinc Chromate Self-Etching primer, then paint with the color of your choice. Lots of threads here in the forums on how to paint tin boats. Congrats on the new toy! Keep us posted on the progress.
