I just picked up a Duratech S 147, 13 ft. aluminum boat with a 10hp Evinrude Sportwin motor which I am told is original to the boat. My step father and I want to restore this boat and motor, but are both new to this. I found this site through the Duratech site and just poked around last night a bit and it seems like there are a bunch of very helpful knowledgable folks here.
I've attached some pictures and have found some preliminary info on painting aluminum boats on this site, but would love to get some direction or suggestions as to where the best place to begin is in taking on a project of this nature.
As I said, I have no boat experience, but am not afraid of taking on projects!
Any and all suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have more pictures and would be happy to follow direction and post more info or pictures as things progress.
Thanks,
