I bet that tasted REALLY good Hahaa gross

i used marine grade on my new transom but the wood that came out was PT that my uncle put in there over 20 years ago. it didnt have any pinholes or any oxidation at all so mabey he had it sealed up really well from getting any kind of water into it? i should think you should be okay with...

that paint looks really nice. you hit that nail on the head. i'm gettin that spraygun from harbor freight too. figured it would do the job. i will check out your thread. my boat will be used for fishing/duck hunting. so the deck i'm putting in is going to be removable and small like the...

i have scince taken out the front deck too and all the wood except the transom is gone. this is a console model so there is no center bench so i have a huge floor to work with. what would be the strongest lightweight bracing to use. i thought of taking aluminum angle iron and bending the ends...
