Thanks for the feedback, bplayer405. Ended up spending most of my free time this summer on home repairs rather than the boat, but we started working on it again this week. The front decking has been a bear. Almost every single screw (and there are many) was rusted beyond hope of regular...

My first real question for you experts pertains to the transom. interior view 1 interior view 2 exterior view This transom is pretty beat to hell, but feels solid. The variety of clamp marks, dents, and screw holes don't give me great confidence, but this is my first jonboat. Would this...

In the nearly 40 years its been on the water, this boat has seen a lot. The bajillion drill holes in the starboard side nose are testament to that. This was our stopping point after 4 hours of labor on Sunday. Anything that could be unscrewed, was. The rear bench plywood and seat are gone...

Thank you everyone.

Those 3 hatches in the front are lovely! Can you estimate your total costs to this point ?

Hi everyone, I'm slowly repairing an old tinboat I bought second-hand. As you can see from the attached images, the u-bolt brackets (I have no idea what these are properly called, just guessing here) are in bad shape and in need of complete replacement. I'm in a small town with no suitable...
