Thank you Jimmie, those still aren't the one I was looking for. I can't remember if they were pictures added to somebody else s thread or what it was.

I have looked through probably 500 threads this morning and searched every combo of words I can think of and cannot find the thread I am looking for. I am going to keep searching in hopes of finding it but I am hoping maybe one of you can point me in the right direction. The thread had...

New motor on before going to the welder....

Do it! I try to post what was on St. Patrick's Breastplate every year!

At least your honest! :mrgreen: Not that it matters but depending on the context and what part of Ireland Sláinte is both Health and cheers.

I am impressed Jjm =D> Did you already know it? I am guessing Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh was an easy one for you?

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! Tabhair dom an rud céanna mar atá ag an fhear ar an t-úrlar! Sláinte!

Boat is headed to get patched up tomorrow, picked up a new motor yesterday for $200 a 1978 25 HP Johnson Seahorse! It will fire up but not spitting so gotta replace the water pump. I will try to get some new pictures with the motor on it but it might be after it gets pack from being patched up

IN Thank You!

I have tried them all so we are going to go the welding route. Thank you though!

Figured I would go ahead and start this thread so I can keep up with what I have done :mrgreen: I bought the boat, a 1974 Polarkraft, a year ago and it looked like this... Before duck season started, we put in some LED's, re-wired everything, and I painted over the blue inside. I...

Same issue as everywhere else but I am going to email them to make sure. https://www.rivetsonline.com/blind-rivets-en/closed-end-blind-rivets.html

I went to fastenal and have looked online and cannot find what I need. I even checked and McMaster-Carr and they do not have it either. I am not using solid rivets to replace the 40 I took out but was going to use Closed-end rivets with 3M 5200 instead. Well I know that 3/16" will be too small...

What is the smallest tiller steer motor I could go with that will push a 1652 with threes guys and duck hunting equipment comfortably? I had a 35 on it but sold it, my console, and all the controls and now am looking for a new motor. I want to go with tiller steer to open up the floor more. I...

Do I have to use an air hammer or could I use a regular hammer? Are 1/4" D x 1/2" L round rivets the ones I would need to use? Where is the best place to order them? And another question what about using a sealed (closed end) rivet in a rivet gun with 5200, I saw a couple people were doing that...

So I don't need to add any extra bracing underneath for the seat mounts? They will be plenty sturdy? Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure I do it right. I would love to put down aluminum but the old checkbook just isn't fat enough right now :mrgreen: Thank for the rivet 101...

Anyone?

One other thing, I wanted to cut about 3/4 of the top of the back bench and turn it into storage but was afraid that if I do that the bench just wont be as sturdy since these benches are not supported by the bottom only by the sides. Any suggestions?

I have searched and searched but cant quite find exactly what I wanted to. I am replacing the floor in my 1652, I already cut out the boxes and the front bench (here are some picture, right now it is cut to flush with the hull with the rivets still in place. With that being said I guess I...

These rivets are the kind that are rounded on both sides so that threw me off as well. I may try the angle grinder route. Gotta do something.
