Hello, I have a 1988 Blue Fin 1950 Sportsman 19' aluminum. I am preparing to take the old deck out and replace it with 3/4" plywood not PT. I have a few questions - I am going to replace the deck from the consoles back, if the deck from the consoles forward in the bow is good, i don't have to replace it do I? Also I am going to use Gluvit to seal the bottom and sides of the main deck, let it cure and install it - then gluvit the top after installation is complete. It is recomended to coat it with marine paint to protect it. If I order the marine paint online what is a sure bet kind? - and how will I be sure the paint is epoxy compatable or are all marine paints epoxy compatable? I also notice that they deck is riveted down. There are thin sheets of aluminum that run the width of the underside where each ply butts up to the next. I would like to re-use those but do you think the rivets will go through the wood sealed with gluvit to puncture the alumium on the bottom side? Just a few quesitons for now - thanks in advance for your advice!
