Re: My First Restoration

Great first post... because you posted pics with it! That's the best thing to do for the best help!

It looks like someone in the past has comitted a Cardinal Sin and fiberglassed your aluminum boat deck in, not a good thing for an aluminum boat.

You want to be able to remove and replace your decking without having to destroy it should you ever need to make repairs or modifications below deck.

Here's a link to my aluminum boat resto, take a look and see if there's anything you like in it:

There's also many more aluminum boat restos in this forum, spend as much time as you can reading as many as you can before starting work on your boat and your project will go smoothly.

Post pics of your work and progress to this thread and ask as many questions as you would like, we're here to help you.
