[QUOTE="farmer4life, post: 502332, member: 34062"] Work continues. I sealed the frame with old timers formula (OTF) today. I mixed up a gallon of OTF because I really didn’t know how much I would need. I’ve seen lots about OTF on this forum, but not much on coverage rates. For those interested, there are six 2x4’s worth of wood here (most of it split into 2x2s). This frame used a little over 1L. I put it on as heavy as I could and let it drip off (thank goodness for gravel driveways). Will let it dry a few days and then add a couple coats of spar varnish. I’ll save the rest of the OTF for the floor and the transom. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9733.jpeg"]116108[/ATTACH] I also pulled out the old transom. See pictures below. Ok fine it definitely needs replacing, but it’s surprisingly solid. Especially if, indeed, the transom is as old as the boat (1968) which it very much could be. It came out very easy once all the bolts were out, it wasn’t glued to the metal in any way. I will correct that with the new one :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9729.jpeg"]116109[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9731.jpeg"]116110[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9732.jpeg"]116111[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
