    Baby steps (I feel like a toddler next to what y'all are doing lol) but winter's coming here soon and I'll be able to start drilling, filling, sanding, and painting!!!

    Okay... starting to pull some things together for the restoration. Does nautolex (light color) get hot? Mississippi sun + aluminum + carpet = HOT deck. Any suggestions on a "coolish" (temp) material? Also rub rail. There's a whole piece of the rail (about three feet) broken off the starboard...

    Fun day!!!

    Thank you for your support!!! It's nice being able to stay out on the water until mid to end of November (one of the few pluses of Mississippi, but it's a big one lol).

    Took her out for a shakedown this morning/ afternoon. Things went well. No leaks (as far as I can tell), motor ran smooth (a little bogging when getting on it but I think a carb rebuild will solve that). Typical Mississippi weather had us sweating like crazy before dumping rain on us for an...

    1978 Supersport 18

    I was just sitting here using the search and didn't find much... I've got some holes (mostly in the bow decking where a few trolling motor mounts were put in and taken out) and am wondering what the best way to fill these is. I'm not a welder but if that's the only way to go....
