Quick question. How much vinyl do you think ill need? Someone posted a piece for sale on our community page. 6'×15'. It would be enough for the floor, but not sure if its quite enough to redo everything. Not the color i was hoping, but a pretty good price.
I got the inside of the hull all cleaned up. All methods of drills and angle grinders, pressure washer and west marine aluminum cleaner. Shiny! . There a bunch of missing, or poorly set rivets in the ribs. A few of the rivets got lodged under the ribs and "welded' themselves to the hull. I used a 1/4" pointing tool to pry them out. Doesnt look like they caused much corrosion.
Unfortunately, my next door neighbour moved since my first post. He works for boeing and was going to be my rivet guru. He helped me repair the transom on my alumacraft. It was cracked on both sides. We drilled holes to dead end the cracks, added bracing, then caulk. Replaced the 1"×4" with a piece of scaffold planking, which is about 2×10. Boat was rated for 5 hp, but I haveca 15hp Johnson. I just removed the decals from the motor.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
