Thanks for all the encouragement! It's great to have great people to help. I have also been wondering about foam I plan on researching alot today. Maybe something willcome up. Do you have a link to your restore?

I know this post is super old but I was doing a restore similar to this and would like as much help with tips and advice as I can get. If anybody would like to check it out here's the link. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27150 I was wondering about paint and prep for my...

Yes sir Zum!! It was wetter then water! Maybe the bottom 4 inches were soaked! It was pouring out. I was planing on putting some 2 inch closed cell building insulation in there to replace it all any suggestions on what kind are welcome. Or if any of you know a good forum post.

Thanks man I am very driven since this is my first boat. I am ready to fish!! I haven't inspected it real close back there as when I got this far I was tired and ready to go home lol. I'll check though. Say I fill it with water and find some leaky rivets, whats the best way to fix one? Or 15...

Oh ok cool! I was wondering. I am going to be adding some to mine soon. What foam route are you going? Thanks!

Man that's looking fantastic!

Hey thanks spotco2! I know now that someone has been in there. I am still super excited can't wait to get it back together! I would have never been able to tackle this without all the great folks on this forum! I worked about 7 hours on it today, here's what I got done. Oh and that water logged...

Hey guys! Man what an inspiring thread!! =D> I am brand new to boats and finally got my very first I am kinda worried about diving into it but I'll never learn if I don't try. Today I plan on removing the old transome! I love to see all the finished products, gives some hope to mine. I...

Man this is great gives me great inspiration. I am about to take on my transom in an 89 tracker. I had a question. I noticed you didn't put foam back in where you have your gas tank, or am I just not seeing it? I was wondering if I needed it in mine?

Great! I'm gonna work on pulling out the old transom today. What are the big vents on the stern? Do I need them?

Thanks guys! Captain Ahab, I don't know what that is but from the sound of your experience if I see it I will run the other direction! I think I found a guy that can do the welding. He charges $65 an hour. Does that sound good? I heard he was really great. Also I crawled under the stern and...

Hey thanks! If you hold your mouth just right close your left eye and look cross eyed you'd be able to see its a 16ft! Well maybe not all that but the registration says 16 lol. :mrgreen:

Well I got the motor all disconnected ready to pull off. And got the console out I was thinking about some sort of bed liner to cover the console. Something like rhino or the like, any ideas? I also wanted to go around the aluminum on the inside top of the boat I like the none slippery bumpy...

Hey guys! Just joined up to this great looking site, tons of great info. I just traded for a boat. This is my first one. I was so disappointed when I found out I really can't use it yet. It needs some transom work. It was very disheartening. But after I kicked myself and cried a little I have...

My first boat.
