    Remove transom through hull bolts 1994 Tracker Magna 17 DC?

    personally - I have very little patience and way too many sharp power tools to get aggravated over such issues. rivets - yes, drill them out. thru-bolts ?? I would have to be there to answer that one. .

    G3 Sportsman 18

    do the general google search. many videos on YouTube of the 2017 and 18 models. (and yes, produced by G3 boats). I think the high price tag sort of limits us common folk from getting one. I see some for sale between 28 and $35k ....... too rich for my pockets for sure. .

    aluminum will oxidize over time (years). cruise through YouTube of how others treat pontoon boats and aluminum boats with a regiment of preventative maintenance. it really comes down to just how shiny do you want to keep it. (your boat = your call) depends on your location, if you are near a...

    I can't speak for the other boaters here, but, I think the general consensus will be along the lines of fenders saves the paint on your boat and, as you stated, keeps debris out of your boat..... and the secondary bonus would be to keep rocks from being thrown into the cars following you. just a...
