Worked on the boat over the weekend. Finished cutting and fitting the front deck, and rear bench seat. First made a template out of cardboard box from a water heater. Cut out the plywood parts, then sealed the plywood with two coats of epoxy. When the second coat of epoxy was still tacky I...

Brandon, my brother is on here so he may chime in, but to put in solid rivets you need a air hammer and the proper rivet set (steel punches to go in the air hammer that correspond to the size of the rivet you are putting in), and a bucking bar (basically a large piece of steel that flattens the...

Got some more work done on the front deck, just some more bracing etc...Also got the rear supports for the bench/deck that will go in the back. Finished cutting/fitting the wood for the front and rear decks. Just have to coat with epoxy and paint. Hopefully, will get all that done by this...

I like that trailer! Those fenders look like they came off an airplane. My boat already has the wings, it would be great together.

Over the weekend the plan is to paint the boat. Right now I am thinking of using the rustoleum spay etching primer, then covering that with several coats of the parker duck boat paints in olive drab color. Any advice or tips on this? After reading through the posts, the self etching primer...

Got to working on the boat again this weekend. Picked up a 2X12 to serve as a transom, got it cut to fit, removed the rivets on the reinforcement panel to allow the new one to go in. For the transom, I first epoxied and laid mat on the edges of the transom, then placed a layer of mat/resin...

After a couple of years lurking, and a few upsets in my 12' semi v, I decided to go the larger route. Found a great deal on a 1958 lonestar holiday for $150 including trailer. Boat is in great shape with only one real dent in her. I really like this hull shape, flat in the back, but shallow V...
